Upstairs, rich hardwood floors carry through an open, light-filled living level anchored by a granite-and-stainless kitchen with pantry, breakfast counter seating, and pendant lighting. Sliding doors open to a balcony for grilling, while a gas fireplace warms the living room. The top floor adds a game room and lounge with wet/dry bar, powder room, and private deck for evenings at home. A garage and off-street parking round out the ease.

Along the water’s edge on Tilghman Island, this waterfront retreat pairs Eastern Shore charm with direct access to Knapps Narrows.

Inside, nearly 1,400 square feet unfolds into expansive, light-filled living and dining areas designed for both conversation and calm. The space is anchored by a massive quartz island, naturally drawing guests in—whether for entertaining, hosting intimate fundraisers, or a relaxed weeknight meal. Two bedrooms plus a den offer flexibility for work, reading, or hosting, while a beautifully updated bath adds a polished finish. Life here feels distinctly Capitol Hill: measured, walkable, and quietly engaging.

Also on the main level, the primary suite includes a sitting area, spa bath, and walk-in closet. Upstairs, additional bedrooms share a loft and full bath. A finished basement offers flexible room to expand, with resort-style amenities—pools, fitness center, dining, tennis, pickleball, and trails—just beyond.

Along the water’s edge in The Woods at Seaside, this custom, reimagined residence brings refined luxury into easy reach of Rehoboth Beach.

Top-tier designer finishes and custom appointments carry through the living spaces. Expansive windows and outdoor living areas frame a serene natural vista over protected lands and a peaceful, babbling brook. Steps from the community pool and near a bike trail, days can flow from quiet mornings to beachbound rides and evenings at home in a hot tub retreat.
