Historic St. Michaels and close to the water! This gracious, historic home known as the John Thompson house is located on one of St. Michaels most sought after streets. Close to a waterfront park with kayak launch, county landing and the St. Michaels trekking trail and pathway as well as the many amenities this Eastern Shore town has to offer. Dating from c. 1790/1850, many original features have been carefully preserved including original wood floors, 4 fireplaces (not all wood burning) and the beautiful bannister leading to the 2nd floor. This once modest house has been enlarged and modernized with the addition of a sunroom, main level bedroom and bath and a blue stone patio overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. The main level consists of the primary suite, living room, dining room, casual dining/den, family room and kitchen. The upper level has 3 generous bedrooms, an updated full bath and office/BR accessed by the original "back staircase". A driveway provides for off-street parking and the alley running behind the house provides access for additional parking and the possibility of building a garage (to be confirmed by the Town of St. Michaels). A charming garden shed provides for additional storage. Full, unfinished walk-up attic. Irrigation system in yard and landscaped beds.
