HAMPDEN

Circa 1663

Welcome to "Hampden," an exceptional estate located on picturesque La Trappe Creek. This remarkable property is a testament to architectural history. The main house envelopes the original structure, which dates to 1663 (now a charming den) with additions spanning the 300+ years since. The present owner has meticulously renovated the entire house in 2018 including restoring the structural integrity, wiring, HVAC systems and the addition of kitchen/mud room and primary bedroom wings.

The formal entrance is flanked with two large rooms, exquisite woodworking detail and original yet pristine wood floors. The front hall leads to an elegant sunroom. From here, take in the view towards the water and the majestic specimen trees which create breathtaking shadows across the rolling lawn at sunset, and a magical park-like setting when the landscape lighting illuminates them at night.

The recently added first-floor primary suite is quietly removed from the rest of the house and a sanctuary unto itself including its own sitting room with fireplace, wet bar and his/her bathrooms with heated floors each with its own walk-in closet.

The brand new kitchen addition is a culinary masterpiece that will delight even the most discerning chef, boasting top-notch Sub Zero and Wolfe appliances, including a steam oven and a space for a large wine cooler or extra refrigerator. Just off the kitchen is the quintessential Eastern Shore Mud Room, with plenty of counter space and storage: perfect for flower arranging, coat and boot storage and, of course, muddy dogs.

The pool has a charming pool house with two changing rooms and a summer kitchen. The multi-slip dock is deep water (5’ at mean low tide) and powered to host large boats.

For guests, there is a charming accessory building with two bedrooms and a bath. Other buildings include an office or studio with full bath, perfect for remote work, fitness center, media room or studio (fabulous southern exposure and lighting). There is also a two car garage and separate two bay shop/garage offering ample space for storage and hobbies.
