The Arthur K. Easter House, St. Michaels, Maryland 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… Read More 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. Read Less
