Looking for peace, tranquility, and true Eastern Shore living? Welcome home. This unique 5-bedroom retreat on Deal Island is still in its teenage years and ready to meet its next chapter. Lovingly cared for by the original owner since completion in 2008, this 2,400-sq-ft home blends comfort, privacy, and value rarely found in this setting. Tucked into its own private pocket of mature trees and marsh, the property spans just over 2 acres—perfectly balanced with usable yard space and low-maintenance natural beauty. Spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying small beaches, boat launches, fishing, bird-watching, and peaceful scenic walks just moments away. Inside, the first floor offers three bedrooms—including a primary suite with en-suite bath and walk-in closet—plus a full hall bath and a bonus room for flexible use. A generous laundry/utility room provides side entry and flows into an efficient kitchen with heat-resistant Corian countertops and dining space. Off the dining area, a screened-in porch overlooks the serene backyard, while the spacious living room welcomes you from the extended covered front porch poised for daytime sunshine. Upstairs offers two oversized bedrooms and a convenient half bath. Hard flooring throughout the main level, thoughtful design, and natural light elevate everyday living, all wrapped in a home under 20 years old. The potential here is exceptional—ample indoor space, a private outdoor setting, minimal-traffic street, and sweeping views where the Nanticoke, Wicomico, and Manokin Rivers meet the Chesapeake Bay and Tangier Sound. Though tucked away, you're minutes from Deal Island Harbor Beach and its westerly sunsets, and surrounded by 13,000+ acres of protected natural land within the Deal Island Wildlife Management Area—perfect for paddling, birding, and exploring. While it feels like a getaway, you're just 20 minutes from Princess Anne and under an hour to Salisbury and Pocomoke for healthcare, schools, dining, and shopping. Maryland, Delaware, and Chincoteague beaches are a little over an hour away—close enough for weekend escapes, far enough to savor quiet coastal life. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to claim your own peaceful slice of the Shore. Call today to schedule your private tour!
