Fabulous Vernacular Victorian farmhouse, (circa 1873) is beautifully sited on 5.02 serene acres with waterfrontage on the deep and scenic East River, in Mathews County. Minutes to open waters of the Chesapeake Bay and beyond. Ancient towering Magnolias, heirloom perennials, a host of fruit trees and serene meadows await. Large light filled rooms, high ceilings, heart pine floors, multiple staircases and endless possibilities await. Pier, dock with deep sailboat depth water and breathtaking East River views await. Previously known as "The Davis House", this property has stood the test of time and been an eyewitness to the bustling steamboat era, when commerce, trade, recreation and travel took place on the waterways of the Chesapeake Bay Region and beyond. Towering ancient Magnolias have stood watch for generations to the ebb and flow of everyday life here. This charming Victorian possesses good bones and loads of appeal for the purist. Ready for restoration and updating. Located in an area of fine historic and riverfront homes. Marina nearby.
