Classic elegance and a sense of grace define Birdwood, an extraordinary WATERFRONT ESTATE set on 11.4 ACRES of protected deep water just off the East River & minutes from the Chesapeake Bay. A magnolia-lined drive leads to this magnificent circa-1937 Georgian-style residence, thoughtfully updated while preserving its character and architectural integrity. Every detail speaks to QUALITY, CRAFTSMANSHIP, and timeless character, yet Birdwood remains comfortable and relaxed in the best tradition of Virginia country living. Welcoming foyer opens to formal living & dining rooms rich in period detail, with substantial moldings, chair rail, & original wd floors. A light-filled sunroom, framed by arched windows and brick flooring, offers broad water views. Beautifully updated kitchen features a Thermador gas range, Bosch dishwasher, new refrigerator & new farmhouse sink. An impressive 1000 SF PRIMARY WING offers windows on 3 sides, coffered ceiling, luxurious ensuite bath, custom wardrobe/walk-in closets, and wide river views. Upstairs are 4 generous bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, 2 full bths, and access to a floored attic. The home features Buckingham slate roofing, new Utica boiler, and newer HVAC. Separate 4-car carriage house includes a recently completed GUEST SUITE above w/ full kitchen, ideal for guests, extended family, or as a great rental. The combination of acreage, independent living space, and exceptional waterfront creates wonderful potential for a private family compound, where generations can gather while maintaining their own space and privacy. A private pier with water and electricity, floating docks, 7,000-lb. boat lift, and new dual boat/ jet-ski lift, patios & pathways provide an exceptional setting for water enthusiasts. Gazebo and Williamsburg-style utility building add charm + storage for equipment and water toys. Beyond Birdwood, the surrounding waters are remarkable for their beauty. This is a rare offering—character, DEEP PROTECTED WATER, and the small-town charm of Virginia’s Chesapeake.
