Colonial, Dutch

A rare opportunity to own one of Pocomoke City’s grand historic homes, beautifully preserved, thoughtfully updated, and truly turnkey. This stately Dutch Colonial pairs the gracious scale and craftsmanship of another era with the comfort and confidence of significant modern improvements, all in the heart of historic Pocomoke City, a charming waterfront town, with the Pocomoke River just blocks from the front door. Documented as built in 1920, this home is a contributing structure within the National Register of Historic Places-listed Pocomoke City Historic District without local historic district restrictions. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is captivating. Three classic dormers, handsome brick steps, mature landscaping, and a beautiful corner setting introduce a home filled with architectural character. Inside, a grand center hall and exceptionally generous rooms create an immediate sense of space. Original hardwood floors, detailed millwork and dentil molding, original glass doorknobs, three sets of French doors, and original cast-iron radiators preserve the home's authentic character, while replacement windows throughout bring added comfort and efficiency. The expansive living room is a showpiece, with a wood-burning fireplace, charming built-in seating, beautiful natural light, and room to gather on a grand scale. An adjoining window-wrapped sunroom offers a wonderful retreat, while the elegant dining room features an original built-in corner cabinet and gorgeous period detailing. At the heart of the home is a remarkably spacious, beautifully renovated kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Custom-crafted solid wood cabinetry includes soft-close features and pull-out pantry storage, complemented by under-cabinet lighting, abundant counter space, a separate pantry, and breakfast-bar seating. An additional breakfast area offers wonderful flexibility as a casual dining space, den, or sitting area. Just beyond, a screened porch overlooks the level, fully fenced backyard, an inviting setting for morning coffee, summer dinners, and relaxed evenings outdoors. Upstairs, a gracious staircase opens to a broad landing and wide hallway, continuing the home's wonderfully open proportions. The primary suite is an unexpected luxury in a historic residence, offering a generous bedroom and substantial private bath with a walk-in shower and separate jetted soaking tub. Two additional light-filled bedrooms share a full hall bath, and the convenience of upper-level laundry is another welcome surprise. From the laundry area, stairs lead directly to the walk-up attic, providing exceptional additional storage and flexible utility space. The property continues to impress outside with mature landscaping, a fully fenced yard, off-street driveway parking, and an Amish-built garage with automatic opener. A huge, dry full basement provides even more valuable storage. Meticulous stewardship is evident throughout, with major improvements including a new roof in 2023 with 47 years remaining on its warranty, dual high-efficiency heat pumps that remain under warranty, updated plumbing, upgraded electrical, replacement double-hung vinyl-clad windows, and an oil boiler providing backup heat. The location is every bit as magical as the home itself.. Pocomoke City is a historic Eastern Shore waterfront town situated along the banks of the Pocomoke River. Enjoy easy access to public docks and boat slips, Cypress Park, the scenic riverfront walking trail, athletic courts, theater, shops, and waterfront dining. Ocean City, Chincoteague Island, Assateague National Seashore, Berlin, and the Atlantic Coast are all within easy reach, while the location remains accessible to major Mid-Atlantic metropolitan areas. Grand yet welcoming, historic yet wonderfully livable, this exceptional home has the space, craftsmanship, character, and updates that are so rarely found together. A beautifully maintained Eastern Shore classic.
