Step into a piece of Eastern Shore history with this charming, beautifully maintained American Four Square, where original craftsmanship and timeless character create a home that feels truly special. Original doors, staircase, picture windows, plaster and lath walls, beautiful trim and floors, classic built-ins, and a welcoming wraparound porch evoke a simpler pace of life. Adding to the property's unique story is the retired U.S. Post Office building, a remarkable historic feature that gives this property a sense of place and a connection to the town’s rich history. With its own parking, the Post Office offers an excellent opportunity for an on-site professional office or cottage industry. Inside the house, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths are complemented by a country kitchen with newer appliances, downstairs laundry, parlor, living room, and formal dining room with built-in cabinetry. Upstairs, the original bath has been renovated and features an antique mahogany vanity matched with the original tub, to which a shower has been added. A second spacious bath has been renovated and features an antique walnut vanity with marble countertop and a step-in shower. A new heat pump upstairs and a split unit downstairs were added in 2023. The water heater was replaced this summer. There is a screened rear porch off the kitchen that backs to woods and a fenced yard. The entire property is complemented by mature landscaping, including many natives, a small water feature, plus pawpaw, persimmon, and fig trees, making it the perfect setting for entertaining, birdwatching. Programmable landscape lighting shows off the property each evening. Additionally, the cellar, attic, storage shed with lofts, and detached garage with workbench and loft add versatility and plenty of storage. Conveniently located on Alt. Rt. 404 near Rt. 309, the property offers quick access to the boat ramp at Hillsboro, Adkins Arboretum, Frederick Douglass Park, and nearby Tuckahoe State Park. Annapolis is only 45 minutes away, and BWI Airport is approximately 75 minutes away. More than a home, this is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive century property and make it part of your own story.
