Property Description
Sited along the storied Chesapeake Bay, with breathtaking views and beautiful landscaping, this spectacular waterfront Gibson Island property offers the perfect family setting to enjoy the marvels of life along the Bay. The five-bedroom, five and a half bath home sits on a rare double lot, and offers a 63-foot heated lap pool and panoramic views from Bay windows across the entire width of the house. Whether enjoying the mahogany paneled screen porch, the spacious and beautifully designed kitchen, the lovely sun porch or the cozy but richly fashioned library, you will be drawn to the natural setting around you, with lovely morning sun and 180-degree views of the Chesapeake Bay, Bay Bridge and extended Magothy River shoreline. Follow the beautiful hardwood floors throughout the house, including a first-floor bedroom suite with separate entrance. Ascend the elegant staircase to a gorgeous primary bedroom suite and enjoy all its amenities, including a steam bath and gas fireplace. Doors from the primary suite open to outer decks with crafted wooden railings. The second level includes three additional bedrooms, two full baths and a large cedar closet. The family experience extends to the finished basement, containing a pool table, weight and exercise room, and fully equipped sauna. A property of this caliber and scale—offering a lovely, well-cared for home, exceptional Chesapeake Bay waterfront and a double lot—rarely comes to market on Gibson Island. Whether sitting next to the Bayside pool or enjoying the views from the 10 rooms or porches that look out toward the Bay, your family will be surrounded by a natural charm and friendly intimacy befitting the special home that you have chosen. 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. Gibson Island provides 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 fully equipped yacht yard for boating needs, both power and sail. 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) with a magnificent clubhouse, an award-winning and challenging Charles Blair Macdonald designed 9-hole golf course, swimming, yachting, both power and sail, year-round fine dining, tennis, paddle, pickle ball, summer camp for children, croquet, skeet shooting, and more.
