Property Description

SECOND WIND is a remarkable Eastern Shore sanctuary where history, privacy, and the beauty of the water define everyday living. As noted in The Eastern Shore Dependent in 1963, “Nature provided the idyllic setting.” Set amid nearly 3 acres of magnificent landscaping, with more than 400 feet of protected and licensed shoreline, this property captures sweeping broad water views and unforgettable sunsets from almost every room. The historic c. 1800 two-story section enjoys random width Georgia pine floors. On the main level you will find a fireside den with built-in bookcases plus a private office with fireplace and two bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. The more contemporary additions include multiple living areas offering a welcoming blend of historic character and comfortable living, including living/dining room, an inviting county kitchen and a main-level primary suite with vaulted beamed ceiling and en-suite bath. The kitchen features a breakfast bar and casual dining area, opening to a patio and heated pool and spa – an inviting setting for relaxation and entertaining. A private pier and protected and licensed shoreline incorporating a living shoreline enhance the waterfront setting, while magnificent perennial gardens, an attached garage, a detached workshop with artist studio above, and several outbuildings add to the property's appeal. Recent improvements include a new roof. Lovingly maintained and exceptionally private, SECOND WIND offers a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive waterfront property steeped in Eastern Shore history.
