This 1925 classic colonial, three story residence, with both front and back gardens, is uniquely situated in the center of the favored 100 block of North Water Street, in historic Chestertown. The formal main entry, with dual brick steps approaches a generous landing, faces away from the street. At first a curiosity until you learn that a prominent family discovered the architectural plans for their "dream house" would not fit horizontally to face the prized road. During its' 100-plus years of life, the front porch (or was it the side?) was converted to a remarkable library, with requisite bookcases, and enjoys light from three sides. The formal parlor, with wood-burning fireplace and reclaimed 19th century moldings and mantle, is left of the straight-through center hall with classic black and white porcelain tiles. The intimate, yet well-proportioned dining room enhances the exceptional flow of the first-floor public rooms. A discreetly positioned powder room and butler's pantry with window and original cabinetry is conveniently placed before entering the large and sunny kitchen with premium custom cabinetry, appliances and finishes from a 2012 renovation. Two distinct patios, one screened and accessed from the dining room and the other from kitchen, overlook the large, rear garden with mature trees and landscaping. The center stairs, with a palladium window bathing light onto the steps, takes you to the first of two oversized landings that have served many lifestyle-uses over the years. The water view primary suite was renovated in 2022 by locally acclaimed Taylor Loughry LLC and boasts a timeless, luxurious aesthetic with custom built closets and Waterwork bath fixtures. Two additional bedrooms and refreshed bath with Restoration Hardware finishes, occupy the second floor. The third floor, with its own generous landing gives access to an ensuite bedroom with walk-in windowed closet (perfect for a future cedar lined closet) and a substantial sized fifth bedroom or multi-purpose space facing the Chester River and exquisite neighboring architecture. Rear yard might accommodate a pool.

Some houses are finished. This one is full of opportunity. Built circa 1920, this Victorian sits in one of Downtown Chestertown's most desirable neighborhoods — and it's waiting for someone who can see what it is meant to become. The hard work and the expensive work have already been done: new cedar siding, blown-in insulation, and original hardwood floors throughout. What remains is the fun part. The kitchen and baths are a genuine blank slate, ready for your design, your finishes, your vision. And the bones… remarkable. Solid construction, generous proportions, and historic detail at every turn — the kind of craftsmanship that simply isn't built anymore, and can't be bought back once it's gone. Start with a house of real character and your renovation adds value instead of merely keeping up. Upstairs, five generous bedroom and two full baths. A rare third-floor primary suite offers space and privacy set apart from the rest of the home — a true owner's retreat, a guest wing, or a quiet work-from-home floor of its own. Outside, a fully fenced backyard is ready for pets, play, and entertaining, a large shed could easily become a garage, studio, or workshop. The driveway provides off-street parking, a definite bonus for Chestertown. And the location is the whole point. You're roughly three blocks from everything Chestertown offers — the shops, restaurants and galleries along High Street, the Chester River waterfront, the farmers market, and the historic charm of one of the Eastern Shore's best-loved small towns. Bring your contractor, or be your own. Come see the possibility.
