(Being Prepped for Professional Photos and Showings start Friday at 5pm) Idyllic Waterfront Cottage Retreat — Out of the Flood Zone! Discover your slice of Essex waterfront paradise with this charming, fully renovated waterfront cottage tucked away on picturesque Norman Creek, just minutes from the Middle River and a short jot to the open waters of the Chesapeake Bay and Eastern Shore. Perfectly positioned outside the flood zone, this home lets you enjoy waterfront living without all the stairs and elevation challenges. Set on an expansive 100 ft wide, deep lot framed by mature trees and lush shrubs, the grounds are designed for effortless entertaining and relaxed living — whether it’s children, pets, or guests running freely, or friends gathering around the private dock and bulkhead sitting area. The matching detached garage adds convenience and charm, while the gentle hillside slope guides you gracefully to the water’s edge. Originally reimagined in 2012, the interior and exterior updates included a new roof, siding, energy-efficient windows, cabinetry, appliances, updated wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems — offering peace of mind and move-in-ready comfort. Live simply and beautifully, whether as your primary residence, weekend getaway, or a perfect safe harbor for your boat — just a quick cruise to the Chesapeake Bay and beyond. Enjoy easy access: only a few miles from Baltimore City and seconds off I-695 & Rt 702, connecting you effortlessly to points North, South, East & West. Embrace the best of waterfront lifestyle without compromise — stunning grounds, shade from mature trees, level lot, water access, and a lovingly redone interior ready to welcome family, friends, and unforgettable memories. The entire property is being sold as-is and the sale is to include the furniture, bedding, televisions, dishes, plates, flatware etc.
