Built in an era when homes were meant to last, when you left your doors unlocked at night, when the dinner gathering was the event of the day, when your windows were left open at night to catch the sound of the distant train whistle, and when Walter Cronkite brought you the evening news. Priced $11,000 under the Jul 2021 appraisal, this lovely 2500 s/f brick rancher sits on .46 shaded acres with mature trees, and has 3 bedrooms and 1-1/2 baths. There is room enough to convert the 1/2 bath into a full bath. The eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances and 2 separate kitchen sinks (one for food prep) has been nicely upgraded with plenty of granite counter space and cabinetry with under cabinet lighting. The spacious dining room has built-in cabinets, and the great room has a lovely wood burning fireplace. The rear brick sunroom, with laundry, overlooks the generously sized yard and the rear porch is fully enclosed for extra living space. The bedrooms and closets in this home are well proportioned and large. The pull down stairs to the fully floored and full expanse attic space is ideal for extra storage. There is no HOA, no land lease, the taxes are low (about $3200 a year.) If you are coming from other Mid-Atlantic or western shore locations, think what you could do with the tax savings alone. This home is served by public water and sewer so no well or septic to contend with and the Carrier heat pump is only 4 years old. Walk into the downtown of Preston or take a short drive to Easton, St Michaels, or Oxford. Park your boat or RV on your property, erect your own pool or fencing, let your imagination soar. This residence is very close to the Choptank River and the Chesapeake Bay. Inventory is low, so don't miss your opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Consumer is advised, all interior photos are virtually staged for visual effect.
