8115 broomes island road

Welcome to 8115 Broomes Island Road, a rare opportunity to own a piece of Broomes Island history in one of Southern Maryland's most cherished waterfront communities. Built around 1940 by a respected local home builder, this classic country farmhouse has had only two owners throughout its lifetime—a testament to the care, pride, and love that have gone into preserving this special property. Located just moments from Nan's Cove on the shores of the Patuxent River, this is where life slows down and simple pleasures take center stage. Spend your mornings launching a kayak, afternoons at the local family-owned marina, evenings cruising the quiet streets by golf cart, and weekends enjoying everything this close-knit waterfront community has to offer. The home is surrounded by mature shade trees and a classic cottage garden accented by established boxwood hedges, creating a peaceful setting that feels like stepping back to a simpler time. Inside, the main level offers a comfortable living room, an additional family room, a full bathroom, separate laundry room, and a country kitchen with space for a small dining table. The screened front porch is a true extension of the living space and is sure to become your favorite place for morning coffee or relaxing after a day on the water. Upstairs are two charming bedrooms, with the second accessed through the first—a traditional farmhouse layout that reflects the home's original design and historic character. While the home proudly embraces its history, several thoughtful improvements have already been completed. In 2019, portions of the home were updated, including the laundry room, bathroom and part of the kitchen, blending modern functionality with classic charm. Additional improvements include a newer roof and important infrastructure updates to the septic system, including a newer septic line and distribution box, giving the next owner confidence in some of the home's major components. As with many homes approaching a century in age, you'll find the authentic character that comes with its vintage. Expect the gentle settling of floors and walls, doors with a little personality, and original wood lath construction behind portions of the plaster—features that tell the story of generations who have called this house home. These are the timeless characteristics that make historic farmhouses so unique and provide the perfect canvas for someone looking to preserve, restore, or thoughtfully enhance its original charm. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a peaceful weekend escape, or envisioning a charming short-term vacation rental, this property offers exceptional potential. Homes with only two owners in more than 85 years are increasingly rare, and opportunities to own a home with this much history in the heart of Broomes Island don't come along often. Come experience the warmth, history, and relaxed waterfront lifestyle that make 8115 Broomes Island Road so special. This isn't simply a house—it's the opportunity to become the next steward of a truly remarkable home.
