2 L ocated in the heart of Maryland s prestigious Eastern Shore, Talbot County was established in the 1600 s and offers a unique combination of rich historical ambience and a world-class reputation. The Eastern Shore is the true gold coast, with both the prestige and the privacy of a waterfront estate. The historic River Houses of the Chesapeake Bay are among the world s finest manor homes. It s proximity to major cities and international airports make it the location of choice for anyone desiring an estate with international accessibility. Set on more than 153 sweeping and private acres with a commanding almost three-quarters of a mile of direct waterfront on Harris Creek and Dun Cove; tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. This 18th century brick Colonial estate is a true treasure of Talbot County and one of the best-kept examples of colonial architecture known to exist. Originally built sometime in the 1700 s, the home has been expanded and renovated around its original frame to its present state of more than 10,000 square-foot residence featuring nine bedrooms, six full baths and one half bath, hardwood floors with inlaid patterns, elaborate crown and dentil moldings, woodwork, 11 wood-burning fireplaces, several accentuated by carved mantels, exposed brick features, built-in bookcases, hand-painted wallpaper, original brick floors, and exposed beams. The property, which dates back to a land patent of 1659, was once known as Bridges Chance by its then owner, Daniel Lamdin. The farm was later renamed Hebron, after the biblical city south of Jerusalem, by Lamdin s daughters in the early 1800s. One of the many unique features of the home is its wide center receiving halls and grand parlor. The various wings of the home, added on over time, hold a state-of-the-art kitchen with brick floors and granite countertops, a partially wood-paneled dining room, a sunroom with glass doors and a view of the water, a half-bath, tranquil library, a family room and den with a brick floor, wood and plaster walls, built-in cabinets and book shelves, a wet bar and access to a rose garden.

3 The living room offers beautiful wood floors, water views and detailed moldings, while the river room, with its flagstone floors and brick walls, opens to an outside brick terrace. The two bedrooms also located on the first floor share a full-bath. The second-floor master suite includes his and her walk-in closets and bathrooms and two fireplaces, one of which is in the adjoining sitting room.

The staff quarters also have a living room, two bedrooms and a bath. A third floor attic provides additional storage space as well as additional storage rooms, each paneled in cedar wood. There is also a basement accessible from inside, as well as outside. Most of the home s rooms feature wood-burning fireplaces and nearly all offer beautiful views of the surrounding water and the property s many award-winning gardens. A delightful two-story dwelling originally built for the farm s herdsman and now the guest/caretaker s cottage features three bedrooms, two full baths, a living room, dining room, den and kitchen. Additional outbuildings include a four-bay garage, an equipment barn, a dairy barn and a greenhouse. There is also a farm office, workshop, hunting room, utility room and a billiard room on the property. Encompassing the pastoral setting are many formal English gardens that embrace the pool and spa.
