Crisfield, Maryland sits at the southern tip of the Eastern Shore, right on the water, and this town has been working the Chesapeake Bay for over a century. You can get a 1,900 square foot house there right now for $65,000.
The house was built in 1900 and it shows that in the right ways. There are original details throughout the interior that have survived more than 120 years. The layout is classic for the period, meaning defined rooms with actual walls between them rather than one large undivided space. The enclosed front porch adds room you can actually use across most of the year in this climate, not just three months of it.
The footprint is generous. At just under 1,904 square feet across three bedrooms and a bath and a half, there is real room to move around. The attached garage is included, which matters here because it is not a given on a house at this price anywhere. The lot is a quarter acre with a large backyard behind the house and off-street parking out front.
Crisfield calls itself the Crab Capital of the World, and that is not just a sign on a highway. The town has deep roots in the seafood industry and a working waterfront along Tangier Sound where that history is still visible and active. The surrounding area is part of what draws people to the lower Eastern Shore, with the Chesapeake Bay nearby and the kind of flat, marsh-edged landscape that is particular to this corner of Maryland. Local shops and restaurants are close.
The listing is honest that this house needs updates and vision. The original details are there but so is the work that comes with a 125-year-old building. The price reflects that.
At $65,000 you are getting nearly 1,900 square feet, an attached garage, a quarter-acre lot, and a house that has been standing since 1900 in a waterfront community on the Chesapeake Bay.
