SOLD: Chesapeake Bay

Exceptional location - views forever. The Chesapeake Bay is at your doorstep. Spend your days watching the amazing Swan Creek boat parade from every floor of this beautiful custom-built home. Then, stay put for the incredible sunsets that seem to never quit. This outstanding location offers almost immediate boating access to the Bay, while actually being tucked inside the mouth of Swan Creek. A private sandy beach allows for swimming and launching kayaks, canoes, or jet skis - right from your yard. The pleasant sound of gently breaking waves can be heard and enjoyed throughout the house and is unique to this special spot. Waterside floor to ceiling tempered windows (Anderson 400 series) on all floors offer dramatic, ever-changing views of the Bay, pleasure boats, cruise ships, freighters and wildlife including blue heron, osprey, and ducks of all sorts. A large, brick-floored screened porch on the first floor provides an oasis at the water's edge. A spacious and very private deck off the third floor master suite offers extended 180+ degree views of Swan Creek, Tavern Creek, and the Chesapeake Bay from the Key Bridge to the Bay Bridge. Quality finishes are found throughout, including Hickory hardwood flooring, crown molding, built-in bookcases/cabinets and extensive use of granite. A gorgeous, fully-equipped gourmet kitchen is wrapped around a huge, built-in granite island, and is truly the centerpiece and gathering area for the home, with the glistening Bay as a backdrop. A large formal dining room with dramatic 18-foot high, wood-clad clerestory provides natural light from high windows. Three gas fireplaces (including one in the Master Bedroom), built-in Bose speaker systems on all floors, and a 50-year roof all add to the comfort and enjoyment aspects of the Eastern Shore lifestyle offered here. A 260 foot pier with "L" seating/fishing area, electric, water, 10k boat lift and a double jet ski lift. Sailboat depth water enhances the versatility of the pier. The inside of this home provides a fantastic private living experience and entertaining environment with water views from almost everywhere, all while located on a charming street, on a peninsula, in the Gratitude area of Rock Hall. World class sunsets provide a wonderful ending to every day, and when youneed a cool breeze after a hot day, the Adirondack chairs at the end of the pier never disappoint.
