Description

Sited along the storied Chesapeake Bay, with breathtaking views, proximity to the water, and exceptional landscaping, this spectacular Gibson Island listing offers a once in a generation opportunity to capture and enjoy the unique marvels of life along the Bay. The five-bedroom, five and a half bath estate, sitting on a rare double lot, offers generous living spaces and a timeless casual elegance perfectly suited to its idyllic location. The house also overlooks expansive stone terraces, lovely seasonal flowers and grounds, and a 63-foot heated lap pool with 180-degree panoramic views of the Bay. Built in 1928 and beautifully renovated and expanded over time, the interior of this spectacular home unfolds with gracious rooms, inviting gathering places, classic architecture, a restful and spacious primary bedroom suite, superbly designed Bayside porches, hardwood floors, a main level guest bedroom with separate entrance, and a host of unique features and amenities befitting such a stunning property. The rooms offer carefully designed finishings that speak to both entertaining and comfortable family living. A property of this caliber and scale—combining a cherished residence, exceptional waterfront positioning, and a double lot—rarely comes to market on Gibson Island. With the Bay Bridge in the distance, it stands with the finest examples of Chesapeake Bay and Gibson Island waterfront property. 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.
