Welcome to 644 Ayrlie Water Road, a vintage 1930s cottage with stunning views of the Chesapeake Bay, forever protected by the property’s ownership of the land directly across the street, 643 Ayrlie Water Road. Designated a conservation easement, this secondary property, which is .4 in acreage, runs with the land and may not be built upon. Enjoy the glorious daily sunrises and Bay views from the enclosed front porch of this delightful cottage located on a very quiet, beautiful street off the beaten path. Walking distance to the Gibson Island Club, “Secret Beach” is across the street right next to the lot belonging to 644 Ayrlie Water, and available for a dip in the Bay, picnic, or just digging your toes in the sand while reading your book! Enter this quintessential cottage through a spacious enclosed porch into a simply magnificent wood-stained Great Room with Cathedral ceilings, visible beams, and two matching staircases on either side, each staircase leading to two bedrooms and a full bath. A huge woodburning fireplace graces the Great Room. Also on the main level is a spacious dining room perfect for entertaining, a renovated Kitchen, inviting Den, and Primary Bedroom with Full Bath. A lovely wraparound porch runs along on the backside of the house overlooking the woods, and a screened porch off the Kitchen provides delightful water views. A garage is connected to the house and may be accessed through stairs inside. 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 through the Gibson Island Yacht Squadron, fine dining year-round, tennis, an award-winning Charles Blair Macdonald designed 9-hole golf course, swimming, croquet, skeet shooting, and more.
