Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, a lovely shingle style house sits quietly nestled on a prime 1.1-acre waterfront lot offering stunning, panoramic views of the Magothy River, serene, wooded grounds, and wonderful privacy. Relax with your family and friends while watching bald eagles and osprey soaring and enjoy countless resplendent sunsets over the Magothy from the oversized open porch complete with a wet bar. Delicious apples, pears, and peaches await you from the trees in the yard! Built in 2001, this five-bedroom, three and a half bath three-level home is filled with natural light, magnificent water views throughout, high ceilings, clerestory windows above the stairway and skylights galore. On the main level is a welcoming great room with a large Maryland sandstone fireplace opening into the kitchen, a large open porch off the great room, and a first-floor master bedroom with en suite bath and laundry room, and a study. Ascend the second level to three oversized bedrooms, all with fantastic waterfront views, two with walk-in closets, and a bathroom suite with a large jetted soaking tub. With lovely views of the Magothy throughout, the lower level has a large recreational room with a wet bar, a pool room with an Endless Pool with radiant heat ceiling tiles, and a good-sized storage room that could potentially be finished and made into conditioned living space. This level also offers a waterfront guest suite with its own private entrance, a sitting room, full bath and washer/dryer. Additionally, there is a large walk-in cedar closet and FEMA emergency hurricane shelter room. A virtually invisible solar array provides electricity to the house and power is stored in a Tesla Powerwall which provides power automatically during utility power outages. Just wait until you see the electric bills! Also included is a whole house water filtration system. With plentiful room for parking, a large detached three car garage, and more than 4,800 square feet of living space, this waterfront home awaits its new owner for many years of unparalleled enjoyment. Information on Gibson Island:
Gibson Island is a private island within one hour of Washington, D. C. and Baltimore offering an absolutely extraordinary setting. The Island comprises 1000 acres with seven miles of shoreline. Two thirds of the Island is undeveloped and is owned by the Gibson Island Corporation, the homeowners' association. The remaining third is residential home sites. Gibson Island is located on the western shore of Maryland, so there is no need to cross the Bay Bridge. On the Island is a 43-acre spring fed freshwater lake in which one may enjoy non-motorized watercraft activities such as paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and swimming. The Island offers enormous privacy and security--there is an entry gatehouse staffed 24+Hours and the Island is patrolled by the Gibson Island Police Force (GIPD). The Gibson Island Corporation Service Department offers yard maintenance and landscaping and other services for homeowners. There is a full-service yacht yard. From the Island, it is just a 20-minute drive to BWI Airport and the neighboring Amtrak train station. The Island houses a private country club (membership by invitation) offering yachting, fine dining year-round, tennis, an award-winning Charles Blair Macdonald designed 9-hole golf course, swimming, croquet, skeet shooting, and more.
