622 Magothy Road

Available for the first time in decades, 622 Magothy Road is a true legacy property with jaw dropping Magothy River water views, exceptional privacy, and storybook architecture. On more than two acres, this magnificent property is accessed by a long private driveway. Renovated in 1999 and substantially updated in 2015, this approximately 11,000-square-foot, six bedroom, seven full and three half bathroom home includes a spectacular guesthouse connected to the main house. On three finished levels, both the main property and guest house blend Norman Esque architectural character with modern systems and amenities. Most rooms capture panoramic water views, while seven fireplaces, generous entertaining spaces, and comfortable gathering areas make the property equally suited for everyday living and large family gatherings. The dramatic entrance hall is anchored by a hand-crafted pewter stair railing, one of the home's defining features. At the center of the home, a beautifully designed gourmet kitchen features French stone floors, a remarkable 19-foot center island, premium appliances, a pizza oven, and a deep window seat for onlookers to lounge. A casual family room perfect for relaxed family gatherings while the kitchen is in use adjoins the kitchen. From the main foyer, one enters a stunning large sitting room framed by a wall of French doors with panoramic Magothy River views opening directly to the waterfront terrace. A great room features soaring beamed ceilings, parquet wood floors, oversized arched windows with magnificent waterfront views, and a substantial wood-burning fireplace with a carved stone mantel. An elegant dining area is connected to the great room. A spacious and private primary bedroom suite includes a sitting room with beautiful views, a luxurious primary bathroom, and an oversized walk-in closet. There are three additional ensuite bedrooms on the second level, with a fifth bedroom on the lower level and an additional bedroom in the three-story guest house. Broad lawns extend from the residence to approximately 260 feet of protected Magothy River shoreline, creating one of Gibson Island's finest waterfront settings. Mature trees, established landscaping, and multiple bluestone terraces surround the home, while the heated lap pool, waterfront firepit terrace, and expansive outdoor entertaining areas take full advantage of the western exposure and spectacular sunsets. Stone pathways lead to the private pier, equipped with a boat lift and generous docking facilities for boating, fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and exploring the Chesapeake Bay. Just an hour from Washington and 45 minutes from Baltimore with no Bay Bridge crossing, this extraordinary waterfront property is one of the Chesapeake Bay's finest offerings. 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.

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).
