Property Description
An exceptional opportunity on the Chesapeake Bay. Set on approximately 1.49 acres with approximately 167 ft of private sandy beach and panoramic Bay views, 159 Shipwatch Lane offers approximately 5,800 sq ft of combined living space across two residences.
The main residence features 4 BR/4 BA, 9' ceilings and a light-filled open living area overlooking the Bay. Each bedroom offers a private bath and walk-in closet. The spacious kitchen features a gas cooktop, double ovens, generous cabinetry and large granite island, opening to the waterfront living space. Tray ceilings enhance the dining room and primary suite.
The waterfront primary suite features beautiful Bay views, a gas fireplace, two oversized walk-in closets and jetted tub. A Bay-facing screened porch is the perfect place to relax and enjoy spectacular sunrises.
The separate 3 BR/2 BA barndominium provides additional living and guest space and operates as an established 5-star Airbnb.
Outside, enjoy your private sandy beach, pier with boat lift, waterfront patio with fire pit and built-in seating, fenced yard and three RV hookups. Pier includes power and water for added convenience. Enjoy direct access from your private waterfront to the Chesapeake Bay—ideal for boating, fishing, crabbing, kayaking and days spent on the water. Additional features include whole-house generator and dual-fuel HVAC.
From morning sunrises on the porch to days on the beach and evenings around the waterfront fire pit, experience an exceptional Chesapeake Bay lifestyle.
Mostly furnished, with boat included if desired. Sellers are ready for their next chapter and serious offers are encouraged. A rare opportunity at the new price of $2,449,950. Per current FEMA mapping, property is not located in a Special Flood Hazard Area; buyer to verify.
