The neighborhood consists of a mile-long peninsula of Dorchester's finest homes, stretching far into the Little Choptank River. The quiet street invites scenic bike rides or long walks to watch the sunsets. Madison Bay with its restaurant and boat ramp is virtually next door and the Chesapeake Bay with it's fishing, cruising, and endless sunsets is a stone's throw away.
The town of Cambridge is less than ten minutes away, and it is not much further to visit the Maryland towns of Oxford, Easton, or Saint Michael's to walk the streets, take in the restaurants, or visit art shops and galleries.
TO DO:
* On the Property - relax! Go no further than the shoreline to find great swimming, crabbing, fishing, sunning, or boating. The sandy beaches are a luxury all year long, and the heated pool provides for a warm swim during colder days and nights. Endless porches and a stone fire pit are the centerpiece for many nighttime get togethers.
* In the Neighborhood - bike or walk down the neighborhood's "private" peninsula and enjoy marvelous sunrises and sunsets among the finest of Maryland's summer and weekend retreats.
* Sports - Water and Land - Fishing Creek provides wide, almost endless passages for quiet kayaking, fishing, or pleasure boating. The waterskiing is excellent. The other side of the peninsula faces the Chesapeake from Madison Bay and provides an open door to sailing or to the many top fishing spots.
In town, the yacht club has boats to rent for a sail on the Choptank. Bike tours from all over the world flock to the eastern shore because it is flat, the roads are good quality, the traffic is light, and the sights are endless.
