Now that summer is officially here, are you looking for a weekend/summer cottage or starter home? This charming 900 sf cottage in the village of Wittman may be the one you’re looking for! Cross over your private bridge above a tidal creek to a County Park with a pavilion, lawn, basketball and playground equipment or launch your kayak or boat from the County boat ramp one street away. The cottage’s low maintenance exterior siding and trim, replacement insulated vinyl clad/wood windows and a metal roof give you more time to relax on the brick terrace underneath the shade of a large tree or the picnic table under an umbrella. Add your favorite herbs to the raised bed garden by the kitchen door and harvest figs from the mature tree in the rear yard. The main floor contains an open plan living-eat-in-kitchen area with exposed wood rafters in the living room, a bedroom with original oak flooring, a laundry and full bath. The second floor contains another bedroom, half bath, walk-in closet and attic storage. Need more space? The second floor has expansion possibilities-perhaps a screened porch? Upgrades include 200 amp electrical service, Pex plumbing throughout the house; HVAC mix of a wood stove and split systems and new septic system in 2016,no electrical or plumbing in the crawl space. At the rear of the property is a large storage shed and pole/canvas shelter for a boat and/or kayak. The concrete block at the end of the gravel driveway marks the front corner of the septic field so vehicles can access the rear shed by keeping to the right of the concrete block. Only 2-1/2 miles away is Chesapeake Restaurant and Seafood Market. Enjoy Wittman’s proximity to St. Michaels but also enjoy paying taxes to Talbot County only!
