This may be the most attractive home you have seen in a long time. Architect-designed and built to the highest standards in 2013, it is artfully proportioned, oriented to southerly and westerly views over Barrett Cove, and outfitted with high end appliances and every am.enity for the comfort of both owners and guests. The 3200 +/- sq. ft. main house is augmented by a charming guest cottage. ***

The location puts you right next to St. Michaels and an unimpeded 20-minute drive to Easton. ***

Entertaining is a pleasure with a flowing floor plan that leads from the gracious entry hall to the water-facing living room and adjacent dining room, and decks beyond. The 18 x 24 sq ft gourmet kitchen is a chef’s delight with silestone quartz countertops, Wolf oven, warming oven, microwave and gas range-top, two refrigerators (one in the butler’s pantry), custom cabinets, instant hot water, trash compacter, and a monorail lighting system. There are four gas fireplaces in the house -- in the family room/den, in the sun room, the living room, and outdoors on the wrap-around deck. Ceilings are high, inspired by a converted barn that was once the owner’s home; most floors are sawn white oak save the Bluestone floor in the Sunroom. Windows and doors are Kolbe. The primary bedroom has its own water views, a private deck steps from the pool and a sumptuous bathroom with heated floor. The secondary bedroom is en suite and can double as office. ***

The cottage completes the offering with a bright living room, good bedroom space, bathroom and kitchenette. Close by is the gunite pool, a private oasis set amid professionally designed gardens, hardscaping and woods where colorful camelias grow. The recently renovated two-car garage provides workshop space, and the double circle driveway handles parking for many vehicles. The pier sports a gazebo, has water and electricity and a boat lift, with spaces for two boats. The shoreline is protected with a Living Shoreline/Riprap combination. ***
