Did George Washington once sleep here? Probably not, but this beautiful home was originally built in 1780 and is believed to have once been a tavern, so anything is possible! The location is hard to beat: 10 minutes to Berlin; 20 minutes to Assateague Island; 25 minutes to Ocean City; 30 minutes to Salisbury; 55 minutes to Rehoboth; While the house itself is almost 240 years old, it has been lovingly maintained and updated throughout the years. So you get all of the modern comforts like central air conditioning, baseboard ambient heat, new kitchen appliances, 200 amp electric service, modern bathrooms, etc.--while also getting tons of historic charm that you just can't get in a newer home. Not to mention almost 1.7 acres of land! The front entry hall contains a lovely staircase and access to a large formal dining room (where you can fit a dozen friends and family easily!) and amazing library. The library is a perfect retreat for any owner, featuring a wall of built-in shelves that can host an impressive collection of books. To the rear of the foyer is a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace and access to the back yard. A hallway which accesses a bathroom w/ shower and pantry closet leads to the kitchen, which has modern appliances and is spacious for a house this age. The second floor houses 4 good-sized bedrooms that can be configured in a variety of ways to suit different lifestyles, as well as a large hall bath with shower tub. Fixed stairs lead to the unfinished attic, which has a generous amount of storage space. If you want great space with historic charm at an unbeatable price, call to schedule a showing today!
