Property Description
SECOND WIND is a remarkable Eastern Shore sanctuary where history, privacy, and the beauty of the water define everyday living. As noted in The Eastern Shore Dependent in September 1963, "Nature provided the idyllic setting," and this extraordinary property continues to embody that sentiment. Set amid nearly 3 acres of magnificent landscaping, with more than 400 feet of protected shoreline, this historic c. 1800 farmhouse captures sweeping broad-water views and unforgettable sunsets from every room. Three bedrooms and multiple living spaces offer a welcoming blend of historic character and comfortable living, including a living/dining room with fireplace, a fireside den with built-in bookcases, a private office with fireplace, and a main-level primary suite with vaulted beamed ceiling and en-suite bath. The kitchen features a breakfast bar and casual dining area, opening to a waterside patio and heated pool and spa-an inviting setting for relaxation and entertaining. A private pier and protected shoreline incorporating a living shoreline enhance the waterfront setting, while magnificent perennial gardens, an attached garage, a detached workshop with artist studio above, and several outbuildings add to the property's appeal. Recent improvements include a new roof. Lovingly maintained and exceptionally private, SECOND WIND offers a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive waterfront property steeped in Eastern Shore history.
