Description

A truly special bay front property with 150± feet of white sand beach on 4.75± acres offering the relaxed charm of a classic Chesapeake Bay farmhouse. Built in the 1800s as the original homestead on the land, it has been expanded and updated over the years while keeping all the character of an inviting, historic home. Heart pine floors, classic millwork, a welcoming foyer with turned staircase, cozy study and pretty dining room with bay window mix easily with comfortable, modern living spaces that boast expansive glass with stunning water views. A classic barn and rows of beautiful crape myrtles add to the coastal farmhouse setting. With 4,566± sq ft, 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, there is plenty of room for all. The open kitchen flows into multiple gathering spaces, with the living room, family room and Florida room with indoor pool all overlooking water. Beautiful sunrises, magical evening skies and sparkling beach walks are part of everyday life here. The spacious first-floor primary with enormous walk in closet opens to the screened porch and paved patio and offers two full baths. Upstairs, the original bedrooms feature heart pine floors and vintage details; the newer 5th bedroom with cedar closet is of gracious scale and is presently serving as a spacious home office. Little Bay is a picturesque basin that opens into Fleets Bay and the Chesapeake. The trip over to Fleets Island is a one mile kayak or boat ride. Enjoy swimming, fishing and crabbing from your own beach while watching the nesting osprey, blue heron, bald eagles, energetic kingfishers and myriad of ducks and swans that call Little Bay home. This special property includes 3 parcels: the waterfront home on 2.5± acres plus 2 additional buildable lots with neighborhood boat-launch access. Minutes to White Stone favorites including Old Farm Truck Market, Adrift, Sandpiper, River Market, Pink Lemon and Point Provisions, and less than 15 minutes to Kilmarnock, Irvington and the Tides Inn. A wonderful mix of old-house charm and casual coastal living.
