This week’s feature is a property listed for $549,000 at 23583 St. Michaels Rd. in St. Michaels.
On my daily commute through St. Michaels I pass by this house and was attracted to its charming cottage style and its waterfront site. I loved the bay extensions on each floor that are the full width of the rooms within- one a sitting room on the ground floor and the other the master bedroom sitting area above.
The variated hardwood flooring throughout the house was a deft touch that unified the open floor plan. Triple French doors lead from the deck off the family room to a terrace paved with large mortared stones. Its free-form shape becomes part of the serene landscape with its westerly views and living shoreline along Harris Creek.
I liked how the triple windows, the bay windows and the long windows filled the rooms with light. The kitchen’s warm gray cabinets blended with the stainless steel appliances for a seamless look and the breakfast bar connected the kitchen to the dining room. The contemporary furnishings throughout the house were scaled very well for each space. My favorite room was the master suite with its sitting area surrounded by the full-height bay window, the gas fireplace and the bath with a separate shower and tub.
