Welcome to 5457 Bayford Road

On the Eastern Shore you’ll find long, winding roads, quiet towns with charming boutiques, some of the best sandwich dives you’ll ever experience, and a divine residence at 5457 Bayford Road in Franktown. A contemporary waterfront retreat built for exquisite sunsets with an unobstructed view of the Chesapeake Bay. 

There is much to behold about this substantial property, positioned on 2.3 acres and boasting 4,625 square feet, and that’s just the main house. As you explore the home, you’ll encounter rich materials like ¾-inch maple flooring, double fireplaces with rustic-washed brick, slate floors, heart pine beams, and Labradorite countertops. The more you look, the more there is to see in every nook and cranny of this meticulously planned abode. 

As if the home itself is not enough, just outside has even more waiting with an inviting fire pit waiting for friends and family to catch up after a day of travel. You’ll find a large workshop adjacent to the main house with full power, heat, and air conditioning and plenty of room for boats, prized cars, or RVs for Eastern Shore adventuring. Cross the expansive path down to the deep water access dock with all the amenities the water lover could desire, with a fish cleaning station, dock box, lights, and a covered boat lift. One of the hallmarks of the Eastern Shore are its beloved oysters. The home at 5457 Bayford Road has a privately owned oyster bed lease for the full length of the property’s waterfront. 

This one-of-a-kind home has a personality that is all of its own. You’ll feel its warmth in the winter and during the cooler months, and come spring and summer, see the foliage erupt! Your private orchid awaits with apples, cherries, plums, and olive trees. Smell the rosemary lining the driveway on the way to the pole barn, countless bushes of lavender, and the salty sea air greeting you each day. Your Eden awaits on the Eastern Shore!
