Property Description
âKendall Grove Pointâ, just north of Historic town of Eastville on Virginia's Eastern Shore, marries the natural beauty of an exclusive waterfront estate with a colonial-style residence that epitomizes Eastern Shore elegance of a bygone era. Timeless, yet unpretentious. Genteel yet inviting. Refined, yet gracious. Featured twice in The Garden Club of Virginia's annual Eastern Shore tour and included in a book of Eastern Shore architecture, this property is a landmark. Thoughtfully conceived and meticulously designed, the 4,800 sq. ft. house is set within mature gardens on high banks, offering nearly 360 views with water visible from every window. Originally built in 1957 and enlarged through 2007, each addition captures unspoiled vistas of Mattawoman Creek and its abundant wildlife (ducks, geese, blue crabs, striped bass, and an occasional blue heron gliding across the water). Oak floors, chair rails, crown molding, and Chinese Chippendale elements in the railings and under exterior windows add classical interest without ostentation. Much of the home was built by legendary Eastern Shore craftsman Hiawatha Wyatt, who restored several historic landmarks and constructed many other notable buildings, the home's craftsmanship is impeccable. The bespoke woodwork around the front door foreshadows careful attention to detail throughout. A âHiawatha houseâ is a point of pride for Eastern Shore residents. The foyer leads to a comfortable reception room with double-aspect windows and a fireplace, then to a three-season garden room that opens to a brick terrace ringed with heirloom plantings. Heading west from the foyer, a transitional room with a built-in bookcase leads to a spacious, light-filled living room for elegant entertaining. Sunset-facing windows dominate, alongside an imposing fireplace with a magnificent oak mantel. A practical open kitchen and ample dining area flow naturally from the space. A few steps down is a vibrant sitting room overlooking a long, water-facing porch with large windows ushering in views of the lush greenery outside. This leads to a newer addition comprising a capacious primary bedroom, walk-in closet, and an ADA-compliant bathroom, plus another full bath and den. On the second floor are three bedrooms, each with windows looking out past mature trees to the creek. The current primary suite incorporates sitting and sleeping areas and faces west, taking full advantage of wide vistas and changing colors on the creek. The grounds encompass the entire point, ensuring serenity and privacy. The large swimming pool, deep-water dock, generous lawns, porches, and terraces invite outdoor gatherings throughout the year, while a circular drive and large Japanese maple lend the property a sense of privileged seclusion. A venerable magnolia, tall crape myrtles, mature oaks, maples, and loblolly pines frame the house. Heirloom plantings and curated landscaping create garden spaces that blend seamlessly into a harmonious whole. The 25-by-50-foot pool is specially painted to reflect the beauty of trees and sky. Both the house and pool are closer to the water than current Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act regulations permit, a grandfathered intimacy unmatched by today's builds with their considerable setbacks and strict rules governing waterside vegetation. High creek banks (17 to 18 feet tall) overlook the deep-water dock, accessible on foot or by vehicle. The main slip is approximately 28 by 14 feet, with two additional tying spaces along the outside edge. Water depths of 3 to 6 feet, you are minutes from cruising the Chesapeake or catching your dinner. This cottage-vernacular house, with its thoughtful additions, harmonious proportions, and refined details, presents boundless opportunities for lives well-lived, a serene retreat with every lively, water-linked activity at your doorstep. Cape Charles beach, restaurants and galleries 10 minutes away. Home has permit for 4 bedroom home with health department.
