201 E Chew Ave

Gracing a large corner lot in the heart of Saint Michaels, welcome to this 3,694 square foot one-of-a-kind home, custom built in 2017-18. Surrounded by established evergreens, native plantings and stately trees, it combines modern open concepts and conveniences with St Michaels’ classic turn-of-the-century charm, all just a stone’s throw from the town and the harbor! Upon entry, you are greeted by nine-foot ceilings, sunny rooms and gleaming hardwood floors. Each room on the entry level has a family feel while the entire space can be ‘combined’ to host large holiday gatherings and parties because the flow and design of this first floor is exquisite and so well planned. The first level also has custom built-ins, millwork throughout, a wood-burning fireplace, massive pocket doors, and an extensive kitchen. Its spaces can accommodate different styles and groupings of furniture. It all leads to the relaxing screened porch that is a serene getaway nearly year-round. This home already has four large bright bedrooms, a dedicated laundry room on the 2nd floor, 2.5 baths and multiple closets for an exceptional amount of storage. The generous, vaulted flex space on the third level inspires endless possibilities to go even further: The third level is already fully climate-controlled, spray-insulated, and has plumbing roughed in for a full bath. Currently the perfect area for home office and storage, it could become e.g., another bed and bath, a cavernous bonus room, or whatever your dreams steer you toward. The home’s elevator which serves all three levels including the third-floor flex space is perfectly yet discreetly positioned to take you with ease to each one, which makes every floor of the home wheelchair accessible. The attractive staircase with hardwood and millwork on all three levels is uniquely set off to one side of the home to allow greater and better use of central space on every floor. The entire home operates on solar (owned) (gas just for cooking) and, with spray foam insulation and Andersen SmartSun windows throughout, the house is highly energy efficient. Even the poured-cement fully-encapsulated crawl space with interior access, is fully climate controlled. The home’s exterior materials are high quality but low maintenance as are its professionally rebuilt lot and landscaped gardens which still provide plenty of gardening options. They are all designed in keeping with, and with respect for, their pretty neighborhood. The delights of St Michaels are immediately around you here, truly mere moments to its waterfront and marinas, to its fabled eateries, distilleries and bistros, to its art galleries and shops, to its bike and watercraft rentals, to its nature trail and so much more. This home is also within easy distance of Golf at the Links at Perry Cabin as well as the countless and year-round activities of the Eastern Shore. Welcome home.
