Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, a lovely shingle style home sits quietly nestled on a prime 1.1-acre waterfront lot offering stunning, panoramic views of the Magothy River, serene, wooded grounds, and wonderful privacy. Relax with your family and friends while watching bald eagles and osprey soaring and enjoy countless resplendent sunsets over the Magothy from the oversized open porch complete with a wet bar. Offering many specimen trees, delicious apples, pears, peaches, and grape and berry vines await you!
Built in 2001, this five-bedroom, three and a half bath three-level coastal home is filled with natural light, magnificent water views throughout, high ceilings, clerestory windows above the stairway and skylights galore on every level of the house. On the main level is a welcoming great room with a large Maryland sandstone fireplace opening into the kitchen, a large open porch off the great room, a study, and a first-floor master bedroom with en suite bath and laundry room. Ascend to the second level to three oversized bedrooms, all with fabulous waterfront views, two with walk-in closets, and a bathroom suite with a large jetted soaking tub.
With wonderful views of the Magothy throughout, the lower level has a large recreational room with a wet bar and hardwood piano alcove, a pool room with an Endless Pool with radiant heat ceiling tiles, and a large bonus room formerly used as a workshop that could potentially be finished and made into conditioned living space. The lower level also offers a waterfront guest suite with its own private entrance, a sitting room, full bath and washer/dryer. Also on the lower level is a large walk-in cedar closet and FEMA emergency hurricane shelter room.
A virtually invisible solar array provides electricity to the house. Power is stored in a Tesla Powerwall, which provides power automatically to key components of the house during utility power outages. With plentiful room for parking, a large detached three car garage, and more than 4,800 square feet of living space, this waterfront home awaits its new owner for many years of unparalleled enjoyment.
ABOUT GIBSON ISLAND:
Gibson Island is less than an hour from Baltimore with no Bay Bridge crossing! Located on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Magothy River, Gibson Island is an enchanting, two by three mile private island in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The Island is accessed by a private, man-made causeway. There is an entry gatehouse staffed around the clock and the Island has its own police department.
The topography varies and includes low-lying, tidal wetlands, a 44-acre spring-fed lake, and rolling hills. Home sites account for about one third of the land, and the remaining two thirds of land is devoted to open space, natural woods, a bird sanctuary and recreation.
The Gibson Island Harbor is a broad cove of the Magothy River sheltered from all sides, offering safe anchorage to both power and sail boats. A place of natural beauty and with no Bay Bridge to cross, Gibson Island is less than an hour from Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis, and less than 25 minutes from BWI Airport and the train station, yet feels like it is a world away.
The Island has just over 200 homes and houses a private country club (by invitation only) offering golf, tennis, swimming, yachting and year-round fine dining —the Island is a special sanctuary indeed!
