Mid-Century Modern

A hidden gem sits quietly back from the road on two extraordinary acres of prime waterfront property. Offering spectacular views of the Magothy River from virtually every room, this vintage mid-century modern house has gorgeous custom wood paneling throughout with parquet floors on most of the main level. Enter the front door to an attractive center hall that opens to a Great Room with fabulous, panoramic water views of the Magothy and a large wood-burning fireplace. Separated from the Great Room by a striking staircase and brick divide is a handsome Dining Room also looking over the Magothy. Adjoining the Dining Room is an attractive Galley Kitchen with a breakfast nook with the swimming pool beckoning in the back. Three ensuite bedrooms are located on the main level. Descend the switch back staircase to a large screened in porch from where one can descend to the large backyard with splendid plantings and swimming pool. The Lower Level boasts a generously sized Family Room with a wood burning fireplace and lovely water views and door opening to an outdoor patio. This level is complete with two additional ensuite bedrooms, a recreation room, a built-in vintage kitchenette, a laundry room, a large storage hall and utility area room. With enormous privacy on the waterfront side, there is a carport with access to the main house and plentiful parking in the front. 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.
