Description

Tatman- Smithers House, built in 1856 and set in the heart of Chesapeake City's beloved Historic District, 210 Bohemia Ave is the kind of home that doesn't just tell a story — it invites you to live one. Nestled on one of the largest lots along Main Street and just a short stroll to the waterfront, local boutiques, and award-winning restaurants, this residence blends timeless architecture with the relaxed elegance of small-town, water-oriented living. From the moment you step inside, the home's heritage is unmistakable. The central foyer welcomes you in and gracefully separates two inviting living rooms—each with its own fireplace—creating distinct spaces for gatherings, quiet moments, and seasonal traditions. Original hardwood flooring carries throughout the home, complemented by preserved historic hardware and details that celebrate its 19th-century roots. Recently freshly painted throughout and boasting a re-centered foundation, the home marries period authenticity with thoughtful modern stewardship. Toward the back of the main level, the spacious kitchen opens seamlessly into the sun-filled sunroom, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame garden views and bring in soft natural light from every direction. It's the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, reading nooks, or hosting friends on a summer afternoon. A convenient half bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, two charming bedrooms offer comfort, storage, and character—one with original hardwood floors, the other carpeted with views overlooking Chesapeake City's iconic historic streetscape. Built-in cabinetry adds practicality and charm throughout. Between the bedrooms is a well-appointed full bath featuring a jacuzzi tub and a separate standing shower. Just across the hall, you'll find an entire walk-in closet room, offering the kind of spacious storage rarely found in historic homes. In one of the bedrooms, a staircase leads to the attic—a space full of potential to become a finished loft, studio, or creative retreat with the right vision. Outdoors, the property is just as captivating. Recently professionally landscaped, the grounds feel open, curated, and ready for entertaining, gardening, or enjoying the peacefulness of small-town living. A detached one-car garage and off-street parking add everyday convenience—another rare find in the Historic District. And with the waterfront, marinas, shops, and beloved restaurants just a short stroll away, this home delivers the very best of Chesapeake City's lifestyle: scenic walks along the canal, vibrant community events, boating afternoons, and unforgettable sunsets over the water. 210 Bohemia Ave is more than a beautifully preserved historic home—it's an experience. A place where every room has a story, every detail has meaning, and every day feels connected to the charm and rhythm of Chesapeake City.
