Description
Modernized Waterfront Living on the C&D Canal – Chesapeake City, MD
This beautifully revitalized waterfront home on the C&D Canal offers a stunning transformation from dark and dated to bright, open, and timeless. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, every space reflects quality upgrades, cohesive design, and an effortless coastal style.
Upon entering the main living area, you’re immediately drawn to breathtaking water views that span nearly the full length of the home. Natural light pours in, creating an inviting and spacious atmosphere. Upstairs, both bedrooms enjoy canal views, while the light-filled sunroom—positioned at the rear of the home with a desirable southern exposure—offers the most captivating vantage point of all.
Step outside to the brand-new waterside deck, the perfect place to relax and watch international ships glide past as they travel north and south along the canal—an ever-changing and truly unique backdrop.
The updated kitchen is as functional as it is attractive, featuring abundant cabinetry, a pantry, an additional storage closet, and striking granite countertops that provide ample space for meal preparation and entertaining.
Both upstairs bathrooms have been stylishly appointed with refined ceramic tile flooring, walk-in showers, granite-topped vanities, and modern lighting. The second floor also offers two generously sized bedrooms—one with a comfortable sitting area and the other with direct canal views.
A wraparound front porch extending along the side of the home provides another inviting outdoor space—ideal for morning coffee, reading, or casual porch dining.
Located in the heart of Chesapeake City, this charming historic waterfront town is known for its preserved 19th-century architecture, quaint shops, waterfront dining, breweries, B&Bs, and its unique setting along the working C&D Canal. Situated midway between Philadelphia and Baltimore, this home is perfectly suited as a primary residence or a weekend retreat.
Now is your opportunity to embrace a relaxed yet vibrant waterfront lifestyle in one of Maryland’s most distinctive communities.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
