But, wait, there is more to share with you... once a Ticket House, a Tea House, and soon-to-be Your House by the Bay, 6568 Clagett Avenue has significant historical provenance. The center room and rooms above were originally from the 1850's. These rooms comprised the Ticket House for steamships navigating the Bay, carrying passengers and produce from local farms to the ports in Baltimore. Originally, the Ticket House stood across the street at the end of a pier. However, after a storm in 1933, which destroyed the pier, the building was placed on rollers and relocated to its current location. With that, the front room (originally a porch) was added and a Tea House was established providing a tranquil spot for folks to come and sit, have tea, and enjoy the beautiful waters of the Chesapeake Bay and Lake.
The center room commemorates the Ticket House with its original hard pine floors and exposed beams overhead. The doors and window leading to the front room are also original.
After the Sellers moved in, a long-time resident of Fairhaven Cliffs presented them with the chair you see at the bottom of the staircase. It, too, has claim to the original Ticket House. With interest to preserve it, the Sellers replaced the caning and cushion.
Highlights of Living Here: Literally across the street, youll find community access to Little Beach where stairs lead down to the water, providing easy access for small craft (kayaks, canoes, paddleboards), searching for sharks teeth, or simply enjoying the lapping of the waves.
You will find yourself surrounded by nature and wildlife. Geese and ducks are often found milling about; while the Tundra Swans (at times, as many as 100 or more) make a stop along their migratory path arriving mid-November and staying until mid-March. The ushering in of Spring welcomes the Ospreys return to fish and raise their young. And, Bald Eagles are often found soaring overhead or perched in the trees surrounding the Lake.
A special note from the Sellers: to say well be sorry to leave is an understatement but, its time time for us to pass along the opportunity for another to live this dream.
