13532 Rustling Oaks Drive

Welcome to 13532 Rustling Oaks Drive: where meticulous pride of ownership truly shows on this classic Cape Cod in the land of pleasant living on the Eastern Shore. Situated on over an acre of land with towering pines providing excellent shade and privacy, this 5 bedroom, 5,500+ square foot home has been recently upgraded and offers something for the whole family. 10 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, arched hallways, crown moldings, columns, chair rails, are just a few of the timeless interior finishes while a brand new saltwater gunite pool elevates the exterior space. Inside, an expansive first floor primary suite offers total main level living and complete privacy. With a tray ceiling, bay window and double walk-in closets, it is a retreat in its own; punctuated by an updated ensuite bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and oversized glass walk-in shower. The true heart of the main level is the upgraded kitchen and living room areas. These large complementing spaces are perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen has all new stainless steel appliances including a double wall oven and is finished with wood cabinets and granite countertops. The large island has a propane cooktop and overhanging bar seating. A breakfast area looks through a large bay window to the back yard. A new wood burning stove insert with wood mantel is the centerpiece of the living room just off the kitchen. A formal dining room and separate laundry/mud room complete the first floor. The main living area seamlessly flows into everyone's favorite space: the back yard, anchored by a brand new saltwater gunite pool and sweeping patio with lounging, grilling and fire pit areas. An additional screened-in porch with a tv is perfect for summertime crab feasts or morning coffee. Back inside, the basement is another world of its own with 9 foot ceilings and over 2,000 finished square feet. A 2nd full kitchen opens the possibilities to a private guest space or mother-in-law suite. There is a large game area, a private home office, a 5th bedroom with full bath and an unfinished utility space with room for more storage or workout equipment. Moving upstairs to the 2nd floor, one will find an additional primary bedroom with ensuite bath, two more generously sized guest bedrooms, a shared bath and a comfortable reading area atop the stairs. In addition to the two-car attached garage, a detached two-car garage with space above offers additional storage and workshop potential. A large garden shed and underground sprinkler system completes the backyard. A few of the recent updates include a saltwater gunite pool (2024), all new stainless steel kitchen appliances (2024), updated primary bath (2025), first floor dual-fuel 5-ton high efficiency heat pump (2025), fireplace wood stove insert (2023), leaf gutter guards (2025). Minutes away from a public boat ramp serving the picturesque Wye River and the enduring beauty of the Wye Island Nature Preserve. Major marinas are close by at Kent Narrows, St Michaels, or Oxford.
