Large home with renovated first floor on a large lot offers significant flexibility rarely seen. Live on the first floor with 3-4 bedrooms (including a primary ensuite) and 2 additional bathrooms. Large eat-in island kitchen is gorgeous, and you can stack the soiled dishes in the (original) "dirty" kitchen/laundry area! Take advantage of these renovations as you take your time on finishing the 2nd and 3rd floors to your current or future desires. You don't need to be concerned with major systems as they are all new (including plumbing, 2 zoned HVAC and 320 amp electric). Historic charm remains with grand front and rear staircases, built-in cabinetry, millwork, wainscoting, pocket doors, architectural radiators, two original Rumford corner fireplaces, restored leaded glass at front entry, and large front/side porch. Enjoy ample off-street parking from Choptank Avenue where there is also room for a "carriage house"/garage, workshop, boat storage and/or pool. A handicap ramp gives access to the porch and front entrance. There is an existing sprinkler system. Within blocks of historic downtown shopping and dining, water access, the Yacht Club, city marina, and waterfront parks. Also, there are nearby marinas that offer travel lifts, maintenance, and offseason storage.
