This remarkable custom-built waterfront home offers breathtaking, expansive views of the Chesapeake Bay and its surrounding wetlands. Thoughtfully designed from the ground up, this property showcases stunning vistas from nearly every room, immersing residents in the beauty of the Bay year-round. The living room is a true centerpiece, with 8-foot sliding glass doors that provide a seamless connection to the outdoor scenery. A striking floor-to-cathedral ceiling stone fireplace with a cantilevered hearth adds warmth and charm to the space, making it an inviting area to relax. The main house includes four bedrooms, two of which feature en-suite bathrooms, with one conveniently located on the main floor. Oak hardwood floors flow throughout, creating a cohesive and elegant aesthetic. The home includes built-in bookcases, a whole-house sound system, and an intercom, for a blend of convenience and sophistication. Dine formally in the dedicated dining room, or start the day in the breakfast room, where morning sunlight enhances the dining experience. The property’s expansive deck offers an idyllic spot to unwind while overlooking the Bay and a tranquil stone pond with a waterfall. The deck provides the perfect vantage point for appreciating the Bay's natural offerings. Seasonal wildlife sightings include tundra swans in winter, ospreys in summer, and eagles year-round, as well as a variety of other birds and waterfowl. Beyond the main residence, a detached carriage house adds both function and versatility to the property. The upper floor of the carriage house includes views of Carr’s Creek and the Chesapeake Bay, a full bathroom and Murphy bed for guests. Below is a workshop and utility room, enhancing the property’s practicality. This custom-built waterfront home combines luxurious living with the serene beauty of the Chesapeake Bay, offering an exceptional retreat with the comforts of modern amenities and the charm of timeless architecture. The cherry on top -- a whole house generator!
