Property Description

Welcome to this charming Chesapeake Bay cottage at 526 James Avenue in the desirable Fairhaven community of Tracys Landing! Set on a rare half-acre lot just one block from the water, this classic waterfront retreat offers timeless coastal appeal and abundant outdoor living space.
Inside, the bright, light-filled interior features beautiful hardwood floors, generous windows, and relaxed cottage character perfect for easy bay living. Recent major upgrades include a brand-new roof, a new chimney, a fully renovated bathroom, a professionally encapsulated crawl space, and a dehumidifier system, ensuring peace of mind and comfort for years to come.
Step outside to enjoy multiple entertaining areas, including a spacious deck, screened porch, and a beautifully designed circular fire pit patio nestled in the trees. The private, tranquil backyard—enhanced by an additional wooded lot and a handy storage shed—provides excellent privacy and room to roam. The generous lot also offers ample off-street parking for up to four vehicles or even a boat.
Located in the heart of Fairhaven, this home puts you moments from deep-water marinas (including Herrington Harbour), scenic bayfront boardwalks, waterfront dining, and the vibrant Chesapeake Bay lifestyle. Yet it remains conveniently commutable to Annapolis, Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, and beyond. This listing includes two lots (526 James Ave and 525 Duckett Ave) for a total of .688 acers.
A peaceful escape with authentic coastal charm on a premium lot, this James Avenue beach cottage is ready for its next chapter!
