About this property

Starlight Waterfront Retreat: 3 bed 2.5 bath home with separate apartment rental

Welcome to your riverside retreat — a contemporary haven of beauty, comfort, and tranquility overlooking the majestic Chesapeake’s Elk River. Here, you’ll enjoy boating, fishing, crabbing, and playful days on the water, all framed by some of the most spectacular sunsets you’ll ever see.

Bedrooms & Baths

This home offers three inviting bedrooms:

Main floor master suite (King) with private balcony, smart TV, walk-in closet, spa-like en-suite bath featuring double vessel sinks, a two-person shower, and a jacuzzi soaking tub.

Two upstairs bedrooms (Queens) on the third level share a full bath and open to a spacious upper deck — perfect for star-gazing with a glass of wine or simply soaking in sweeping river views.

A convenient half-bath and washer/dryer are located on the main floor.

Living Spaces

The open-concept main floor features a comfortable living room with a 65” smart TV and surround sound system, a fully equipped modern kitchen, and a dining area designed for gathering.

Step outside onto the covered deck, furnished with a sofa, loveseat, and swivel chairs for six, plus casual dining for six more under the shade sail. Whether you’re enjoying a family meal or watching the sunset, this outdoor space is made for relaxation.

Outdoor Enjoyment

The backyard offers a private fenced area with:

Picnic table for crabs or casual meals

Fire pit for evenings under the stars

Bulkhead steps leading into the water — perfect for launching the provided kayaks or floating tubes (beach towels included seasonally)

A hammock is available for warm summer days, and a private chef can be arranged upon request (with regular, dairy-free, or gluten-free menus).

Location & Surroundings

This home sits adjacent to a local marina for easy boat access (slips arranged directly with the marina) or anchoring out front. You’ll be minutes from charming towns offering unique shopping, wineries, and restaurants, as well as multiple state parks for hiking and biking. Canoe and boat rentals are nearby in North East.
