5084 FERRY NECK ROAD

ROYAL OAK, MD 21662

Tucked within a canopy of trees along Maryland’s Eastern Shore, this remarkable home rests quietly beside the Choptank River. The setting feels worlds away, eighty acres of meadows and woodland that open gently to more than 1,800 feet of private shoreline, where a western exposure captures breathtaking sunsets reflected across the water. The residence at 5084 Ferry Neck Road was shaped by owners whose careers in fine contemporary art inspired a deeply thoughtful approach to design, one that explored geometry, light, and proportion with an almost abstract eye. The resulting octagonal plan draws the landscape into every room, creating a calm rhythm of space and view. A low, horizontal brick façade settles the home into its surroundings, while a lifted roofline and generous overhangs give shelter and balance. Inside, a sweeping staircase curves upward through the central volume, a graceful gesture that anchors the home with quiet strength. In 2024, the property underwent a comprehensive renewal. Porcelain countertops, new glazing, and refined lighting bring a fresh modern sensibility while honoring the original architecture. Approached by a long, tree-lined drive, the home reveals itself gradually, first a glimmer through the woods, then an opening to water and sky. Beyond its immediate beauty, the land itself offers a rare opportunity, with the potential to create a divisible waterfront homesite should the next owner wish to explore it. What remains most striking, however, is its sense of comfort, a home that is inviting, shaped by art, nature, and time.
