The large columned wrap-around front porch provides plenty of space to host those special dinner parties, or simply just sit in the rockers and sip your coffee (or wine).And don’t forget the enclosed outdoor shower located right out the back door so you can wash off all the sand and go right into the house from there.Come in off the porch through the vestibule. After entering the grand first-floor foyer, complete with a sitting area, gather the family for TV viewing or enjoy an adult beverage and conversation in the spacious living room after the children are safely snuggled in bed. Families will have more than enough room to enjoy meals together, whether it is a quick breakfast in the sunroom with a table seating 6 and a sitting area, or in the formal dining room seating 8, complete with a beautiful marble fireplace and a 100 plus-year-old pump organ (both for aesthetics only).The bright white kitchen has modern appliances and is thoroughly stocked with anything you could possibly need to cook family meals at home if you are seeking a break from dining out at the fabulous local restaurants. Coffee lovers delight as it has a regular brewing coffee pot, Nespresso, and Keurig. Set off the kitchen is a lovely wood-paneled office with an oversized leather chair and oak desk for those who need a workstation. Through the office is a half bath, leading to the laundry room which provides a washer, dryer, a sink, a wine refrigerator, and a stand-alone freezer for additional storage for extras such as bait for the fishermen or perhaps a large ice cream cake for those special celebrations.Up the original carved banister staircase, the second floor provides a queen master with an ensuite bath with bay windows looking down onto the tops of the crepe myrtles surrounding the house, a coastal beachy children’s room with 4 twin beds (one a fun trundle!), and a beautiful Victorian bedroom with a double bed. There is a spacious second-floor bathroom for these two bedrooms to share.Take the next flight of stairs to the third-floor retreat, consisting of a king master ensuite with an extra twin bed. There are two window seats to curl up and read a book or catch a peek of the bay with exquisite sunsets. A table and chairs provide an additional workstation or extra space for games and puzzles.Amenities include broadband internet with secured WiFi, 3 televisions (one on each floor) with satellite TV, a DVD player with a collection of movies to enjoy. Card decks and games are provided for some extra family fun in the evenings or on rainy days. The home is climate controlled with split-level HVAC units and for the winter months still uses snuggly radiant heat to warm those extra chilly nights. No matter what time of year you want to take a vacation or even a quick getaway from urban life, the owners of Chesapeake Dream welcome you and your family with a nice gift of gratitude for your visit to their home.For those curious about the surrounding area, Cape Charles is a historic Victorian railroad town hugging the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.
