Cottage

Nestled on Gibson Island overlooking the Chesapeake Bay and the Gibson Island Golf course is a simply exquisite, turnkey, white shingle cottage. Completely rebuilt in 2020, this extraordinary three bedroom, three bath, two half-bath property offers an enchanting nod to many of its original features. Inspired by the original 1925 cottage, the custom house is built with meticulous attention to detail using only the finest materials and top-of-the-line craftsmanship. Glorious sunrises from virtually every room rise over continuous honey-colored quarter-sawn oak floors. The magnificent eat-in gourmet kitchen will delight any serious chef. Relax by the fire in the large, beamed Great Room overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. The Great Room’s eastern wall opens completely to the large Ipe deck where spectacular views and the gentle break of the waves are enjoyed. The screened porch off the Great Room offers plenty of space, cool breezes, and more spectacular water views. A stunning ensuite bedroom/office is located on the main level. Upstairs is a primary suite with jaw dropping views of the Bay, another spectacular ensuite bedroom, and a thoughtfully designed laundry room. A matching auxiliary building on the property can accommodate multiple cars, offering a two-door bay, a one-door bay, a fabulous potting room, a second half bath in addition to the one in the main house, and two sinks. Sitting up high from the Chesapeake Bay and back from the road with golf course views, the house has a basement, is equipped with a whole house generator and an outdoor shower and has geothermal heat. This very special property is a five-minute stroll to the Gibson Island Club. 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.
