Backyard view of Maggie's new waterfront vacation cottage in Mechanicsville, Maryland. Maggie purchased the home with the assistance of Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.

Maggie and her husband, Stan, love the breakneck pace of living in downtown Bethesda, Maryland. But the traffic, noise and lack of elbow room just outside the Washington, D.C., border can sometimes be overwhelming. So Maggie decided it was time to pursue her longtime dream of owning a quiet vacation cottage along the water. She contacted Jerry Kline, realtor with Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, to make that dream come true.

Seeking a small but tasteful cottage in a location where she and her family could spread out and breathe, Jerry & Maggie toured a dozen or so waterfront homes on the lower, eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay. There are great deals to be had in such areas, and they’re only an hour or two south of the nation’s capital.
