121 chestnut

121 West Chestnut Street is a true gem among the historic houses in St. Michaels. First time offered in a decade, the 1890 colonial embodies all the desirable features of an older home on the exterior – an inviting covered front porch, wood shingle siding, a two-bay center hall two story architecture, bracing chimneys on each end and true divided double hung windows in the front. Once inside, this home surprises with a light filled open interior and a seamlessly flowing floor plan. The important historic features, such as wood flooring, built ins and fireplace have been well preserved, but with its well thought out renovations and a sizable addition, the house now features large open rooms, an impressive gourmet kitchen and an attractive modern primary bedroom with walk-in closet and bath. The kitchen opens to the back yard and features a large island with seating for five, farm sink, five burner gas cooktop with faucet, wall oven and convection microwave, ample cabinet space, and granite and quartz counters. The adjacent dining room includes built ins with a beverage refrigerator and a decorative fireplace that could be converted to electric or gas. The living room is anchored by a gas fireplace, built in cabinets, and shelving. The home offers four bedrooms, one of which currently serves as an office, accessible from both the primary and secondary staircase. The living area is rounded out by a dedicated laundry room with access to the backyard, and a sitting room. The lot has alley access from the back and while currently not in place, could have parking at the rear. A sizable outbuilding offers plenty of space for storage. This home is just steps away from the park and public dock on San Domingo Creek, and the St. Michaels Nature Trail.
