117 High St, Cambridge, MD 21613

This Victorian beauty (circa 1889) is in the heart of Cambridge (founded in 1684) on Maryland's Eastern Shore, situate on High St., location of many other historic homes, along with the Dorchester County Courthouse (1853) and Christ Episcopal Church (1684, with present structure 1883). The property is one block from the Choptank River and one block the other way from the City's business, restaurant and retail district. The dwelling has better than good bones and has aged quite well, teeming with period accents, including 9 ft ceilings, plaster walls, door transoms, pocket doors, ornate wood stairway, detailed crown molding, and much more, all of which were skillfully crafted. The front has a wrap-around porch to enjoy the Iron Man and Eagle Man finishes, nighttime Xmas parade, or to just sit and relax. Upgrades in the past four years include complete exterior painting, architectural shingle roof, remodeled bathroom, with other upgrades in the not too distant past such as the gourmet kitchen with cherry cabinets and 2 zone heating-a/c The attic has 4 rooms with finished flooring and electricity, ready for living space expansion. Cambridge is in the midst of a rebirth and is rated by the Smithsonian as a top 15 small town destination point in the US. Many who have come from afar find it a wonderful landing spot for visiting and living. Please come visit our city and while here schedule a showing by calling 443-205-3038. (P.S. Rarely do single family homes on High St become available, so don't let this pass you by.)
