The perfect weekend getaway does exist — and it’s affordable. Escape the city / suburbs and spend your weekends in the quintessential Eastern Shore town of St. Michaels, known for its picturesque streets, quaint shops, vibrant dining scene, wineries, and distilleries. This charming waterfront community has everything you need to relax, recharge, and truly enjoy life on Maryland’s Eastern Shore - the perfect escape and recharge from your weekly routine. Welcome to 204 E Marengo Street, St. Michaels, MD — where coastal charm meets small-town living. Just two blocks from the Historic District and 1.5 blocks from water access, including a marina and boat ramp, this fully modernized cottage perfectly captures the laid-back Eastern Shore vibe. Carefully designed for minimum maintenance and effortless living, it offers main-level living, sun-filled rooms, modern appliances and HVAC and a beautifully updated full bathroom to optimize lifestyle comfort and minimize effort. Step outside and discover your own backyard retreat — an entertainer’s dream with an in-ground pool, detached garage, with electric, refrigerator, and large workbench, and a beach-inspired outdoor bar (with cable TV) that’s perfect for hosting friends or unwinding after a day on the water. The home has been thoughtfully maintained with key updates, including a new roof (2024), water heater (2018), HVAC (2018), washer/dryer (2022), and stove and refrigerator (2023), beautiful plantation shutters, and Thompson Creek Windows (2018) and updated crawl space (2025 - new French drain, insulation and vapor barrier) — making it completely move-in ready. And being outside the Historic District provides freedom of home and grounds changes without Historic District oversight. With coffee shops, boutique shopping, dining, and the waterfront all within easy reach, this home is ideally situated to enjoy everything St. Michaels and the Eastern Shore has to offer. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of paradise — a true weekend getaway that’s closer, cozier, and more affordable than you ever imagined. Open House, Saturday, 4/4, Noon-2:00pm
