Description
Designed by William Draper Brinckloe, one of Easton's best early 20th Century architects, this Mission house, "Edgemar", is nestled on a private 4.5-acre double lot and offers an exceptional blend of character, comfort, and serenity. The property boasts a dock with a highly coveted boathouse (that can no longer be built), a natural shoreline, and mature landscaping highlighted by 100-year-old boxwoods, flowering magnolias, lush hydrangeas, and a majestic 100-year-old oak tree. Renovated in 2008 with premium finishes, the home features top-tier appliances and fixtures from Miele, KitchenAid, Fisher & Paykel, and Kohler, complemented by Pella windows and sliding doors. Additional highlights include a roof with 50-year architectural shingles, underground electrical wiring, and beautifully preserved original brick floors. This 4,000+ square foot Spanish-inspired home masterfully balances preserved historic features with modern amenities. The gourmet kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring a Miele steam oven, cooktop with barbecue grill, two Fischer Paykal dishwasher drawers, imported Italian ceramic tile, and a custom, cement island topped with an inlaid Chesapeake Bay fossil--perfect for entertaining or everyday use. The home offers generous gathering spaces including a grand living room, great room, dining area, and cozy library. Period details have been thoughtfully retained, including original heart pine floors, Delft tiles, antique tiles salvaged from Easton's historic roadways, and a charming antique bar complete with copper sink. The home boasts two primary suites, one upstairs, and a secret bedroom hidden off the kitchen on the main level, and two convenient laundry facilities. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, three full bathrooms including a luxurious spa-like bathroom, two sleeping porches, and a versatile flex space ideal for a home theater, playroom, or den. The septic system is approved to accommodate 5 bedrooms. Completing the property are a detached two-bay garage with John Deere lawnmower, circular driveway, and a powered storage shed--offering functionality as well as timeless Eastern Shore charm. This historic home is rich with character and ready for your personal vision to bring it to life.
