Property Description
A picturesque, winding driveway leads to the one-of-a-kind contemporary home, built by A. James Clark for his family. Completed in 1978, Sunnyside was the culmination of a 3-year collaboration between the legendary builder and philanthropist, his son, architect Paul Clark, and prominent DC architect, John Henry Sullivan. Mr. Clark hand-picked every remarkable detail on the property, from the materials to the craftsmen, many of whom would later join him to form the iconic Clark Construction.
Meticulously maintained over the years, the main house features floor-to-ceiling windows throughout offering stunning water views from every room. The thoughtfully designed layout of the main level easily accommodates both large and intimate gatherings. Highlights include a striking 24ft x 24ft sun-drenched atrium, an expansive main level primary bedroom suite complete with its own fitness room and sauna, 4 fireplaces, a living room with 20ft+ tall ceilings, a greenhouse, and a temperature-controlled wine room. The Great Room, the perfect spot for a casual gathering with friends and family, boasts striking custom woodwork throughout and incredible expansive western views of the property.
The second-floor features three bright and sunny bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom, balcony, fireplace, heating systems, and distinctive views of the Miles River.
The portico along the front of the home leads to an easily accessible, but completely private guest house with its own cozy living room, bedroom, full bath, fireplace, and kitchenette. Just outside the main house with idyllic garden and river views is the pool with its own full bath. The tennis court, livestock barn, and equipment barn are just a short stroll through the carefully designed and bucolic landscape.
Resting on a point on the Miles River, Sunnyside boasts approximately 2000ft of waterfrontage, of which approximately 1550ft is riprapped. A 135ft deep-water pier (approx. 6 ft MLW) offers 2 boat lifts. Less than 10 minutes to Downtown Easton and just a short boat ride (or less than 15 minutes by car) to St. Michaels, legendary Sunnyside proudly sits at the heart of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
