This recently renovated home offers unique flexibility. It sits on a rare TRIPLE corner lot, and the expansive backyard spans two additional lots that may be subdivided. The first floor is beautifully finished with a new kitchen, scullery/laundry, parlor, great room, 3 bedrooms (including primary ensuite) and 2 more bathrooms. Nine rooms on the 2nd floor are ready to be finished as bedrooms, bathrooms, office/gym, etc. The 3rd floor includes additional heated space and storage.
Historic charm is showcased throughout with grand front and rear staircases, built-in cabinetry, millwork, wainscoting, pocket doors, architectural radiators, and two original Rumford corner fireplaces. Major upgrades include a new two-zoned central HVAC system along with a high efficiency boiler for hot water and adjustable radiant heating, upgraded 320 Amp electric service (the whole home has been rewired), and updated plumbing. The front entrance has been brought back to the original woodwork with restored leaded glass sidelights and transom. The large front and side wrapped porch have been refreshed.
Enjoy ample off-street parking from Choptank Avenue where there is also room for a "carriage house"/garage, workshop, boat storage and/or pool. Are you thinking Country Inn or Bed and Breakfast? 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.
