It took 65 volunteer firefighters from the St. Michaels, Oxford, Trappe, Easton, Grasonville, Tilghman Island, Cordova and Queenstown fire companies approximately one hour to get the blaze under control.
Investigators determined the fire started in the 9,000-square-foot home's two-story garage and spread to the second and third floors dwelling. No one was injured in the fire.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
