Property Description
From the moment you arrive, it is clear: this is no ordinary house. Located on one of St. Michaels' most sought-after streets, the circa 1889 Arthur K. Easter House seems to have stepped from the pages of a storybook—one filled with golden light, quiet elegance, and a sense of belonging. This stylish historic home was relocated to its current site in the 1940s, where it rests on a modern foundation while preserving the grace of its era. Step inside and you'll find a home that doesn't shout—but sings. Golden sunburst wallpaper greets you in the entryway, a quiet hint of the artistry to come. Grass cloth walls add texture to the front room, while Asian-themed wallpaper in the powder room nods to a worldly, well-traveled spirit. The kitchen blends form and function with custom cabinetry, Japanese tansu, an antique center island, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Just beyond lies a laundry room and pantry, offering additional storage and a private side entrance through a door so charming it might have been borrowed from a Hobbit hole. Refinished heart pine floors flow throughout the main level, which includes an elegant living room, a cozy library with built-in bookcases and a wood-burning fireplace, and a dining area ideal for both casual meals and formal gatherings. Just beyond, the sunroom wraps the rear of the house in warmth and light, with a beadboard ceiling, tiled floor, and French doors that blur the line between home and garden. Bathed in natural light and surrounded by greenery, it's a space that feels less like a room and more like a quiet corner of the outdoors—perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or an evening glass of wine. The living and dining spaces flow easily, whether you're hosting friends or savoring a quiet moment. Upstairs, the primary bedroom serves as a peaceful retreat, with a sitting area, a full wall of closets, and a luminous, sepia-toned mural that evokes a distant landscape seen through time's soft focus. It's a space meant not just for rest, but for dreaming. A second bedroom and a beautifully updated bathroom with classic tile finishes and a glass shower complete the upper level. Outdoors, a handcrafted moon gate from Walpole Outdoors beckons you into the garden—a serene and curated landscape designed for both visual delight and peaceful retreat. The current owners, avid gardeners, have begun implementing a landscape plan that adds privacy and seasonal beauty to the in-town lot, with roses, weeping peach, dogwood, crape myrtle, holly, and arborvitae creating a park-like setting. Every feature of this house has been thoughtfully updated over the past four years, including a new HVAC system, faux-slate roof, fresh exterior and interior paint, and a curated collection of wallcoverings. Just down the street lies the harbor, and within a short stroll are the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, the county landing and kayak launch, a scenic nature trail, and the town's beloved shops and restaurants. The Arthur K. Easter House isn't just attractive—it is deeply intentional. A canvas for creativity, a haven for quiet living, and a rare opportunity to own a piece of St. Michaels' history—timelessly updated and ready to welcome its next chapter.
