This is the one you have been waiting for featuring the trifecta of hard to find amenities including expansive bayside pool, spacious boathouse with boat lift and 160+ ft. of private sandy beach located right on the Chesapeake Bay. Sweeping panoramic views abound from this stately Bay front home offering the perfect setup to celebrate the waterfront lifestyle. Sit back and watch the ships go by from this serene, private setting, enjoy dazzling sunrises and savor the picturesque views from this elevated 1.11-acre vista. Complete Remodel/Renovation in 2005, this home has been updated to create an open floor plan while still preserving its original charm. This property is the perfect family compound and provides plenty of room for everyone. From the large open kitchen with eat-in area, formal Living Room and stunning wood-beamed ceiling Family Room with endless views, to the main level Primarys suite with Bay views and spacious guest rooms; there are numerous opportunities inside to gather and soak in the views. On those beautiful summer days and even into the chilly spring/fall evenings you will want to head outside to appreciate everything this property has to offer. Cool off in the refreshing in-ground pool, dine al-fresco on the waterside brick patio, run around with the kids and dog on the private sandy beach, or spend hours tinkering with the boat in the boathouse after a relaxing day on the Bay. Additional amenities on the property include the oversized detached 3-car garage with workshop which offers ample storage space, circular driveway and the conveniently located bath house adjacent to the pool. Gibson Island and Beach Club is just up the street where membership (by invitation only) provides access to the country club, pool, beach, tennis, deep water marina, award-winning Charles Blair Macdonald designed 9-hole golf course, swimming, croquet, skeet shooting, and more.
