This picture-perfect location doubles as an event venue.

A one-of-a-kind, expansive waterfront inn located in St. Michaels, Maryland, is now being offered for sale by Long & Foster Real Estate, the No. 1 privately owned real estate company in the United States and the exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate in the Mid-Atlantic. Located at 205 Cherry St. and built in 1865, Aida’s Victoriana Inn still features many Victorian-era touches, including original wainscoting, millwork mantels and hardwood floors. The property is exclusively listed by Gary Marquardt with Long & Foster’s Easton, Maryland, office for $1.975 million.

“Being off of St. Michaels’ main street and nestled on the harbor on nearly an acre of private land, you will find the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life,” said Marquardt. “Enjoy an afternoon with a book or an evening with your favorite beverage on the porch and let your mind drift to a simpler time.”

Built in the Second Empire style, the Victoriana gives a snapshot into St. Michaels’ rich history. The inn overlooks the old navy point, the original location for the town’s oyster and canning houses, and now home to the Chesapeake Maritime Museum. The inn is also just two blocks from Talbot Street, which is home to a variety of wonderful shops and restaurants.

With seven bedrooms and eight-and-a-half bathrooms, the 4,364 square-foot home has been operating as an inn since 1987, but it can also be used as a private residence. Situated on a 0.73-acre lot, this property is one of the largest residences in town. The Victoriana is also the only inn operating in downtown St. Michaels that has a private owner’s house. This 1,000 square foot, two-bedroom, two-bath cottage allows for the inn owner to have privacy while still enjoying the Victoriana’s stunning harbor-front location.

Its waterfront location truly makes this property shine and offers several spots for relaxation. The expansive front porch is has several rocking chairs on which guests can sit and chat. The front yard even has a small beach area with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit, for enjoying the beautiful St. Michaels evenings.

Aida’s Victoriana Inn presents a unique opportunity for a buyer in search of a turn-key business. The inn itself is being sold fully furnished and also doubles as a stunning event and wedding venue. Also included with the sale are seating, tables, flatware and stemware for up to 120 guests. Occupancy averages out to about 70 to 73 percent year-round, but remains fully booked during the spring and summer seasons. Profit and loss statements are available for potential buyers.
