Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in this stately circa 1874 farmhouse, set on 2.5 idyllic acres in the quiet, coastal town of Cheriton. From the moment you arrive, mature landscaping and undeniable curb appeal welcome you home; an impressive magnolia anchors the front yard, while a variety of flowering hydrangeas and productive fruit trees frame the property in seasonal color. Brand-new landscaping throughout adds the perfect finishing touch. Inside, this light-filled home is full of character, showcasing original architectural details and handsome wood floors throughout. The spacious, flexible floor plan offers three (potentially four) bedrooms, plus a versatile bonus room, giving you room to grow, host, or work from home. Move-in ready and freshly updated, the home also features brand-new carpet on the stairs and fresh paint. Original hardwood pine floors are in gorgeous condition. Outdoor living is just as inviting as indoor living here. Relax on the classic front porch overlooking a deep, fenced, tree-lined yard, or unwind on the enclosed back porch, which opens onto a charming brick patio, perfect for morning coffee or evening entertaining. A detached outbuilding offers excellent storage or workshop space for hobbyists, gardeners, or extra equipment. Location is everything, and this property delivers: you're just minutes from the Oyster boat ramp on the seaside, ideal for boating and fishing enthusiasts, and only a five-minute drive to the charming town of Cape Charles, where you'll find a sandy beach, waterfront restaurants, boutique shops, and full-service marinas. Rich in history this remarkable farmhouse offers the rare combination of privacy, character, and coastal convenience. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Eastern Shore bliss.
