    What's special

    An exceptional opportunity presents itself with this magnificent Mediterranean villa, encompassing over 14,000 square feet of unparalleled craftsmanship and offering sweeping vistas over the Chesapeake Bay within commutable distance of Washington D.C. and Baltimore. Situated on more than three acres of meticulously landscaped grounds atop a prominent elevation within the exclusive enclave of Gibson Island, this historic estate seamlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary luxury. Completely renovated in 2009 to include all new systems, including geothermal temperature control, the villa, originally constructed by Robert Garrett to graciously entertain two to two hundred friends, boasts five en suite bedrooms, six full bathrooms, three powder rooms, a wine cellar, and a sauna. Distinguishing features include artisanal finishings, a serene library, an expansive great room with a grand fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen that flows into a glass conservatory and family room, all opening to terraces with breathtaking water views. The estate's outdoor amenities feature pergolas beside a heated pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, and lush gardens, complemented by a fully appointed Coach House with a movie theater and studio apartment with additional full bath and half bath. Gibson Island offers unparalleled privacy and security, a private country club (membership by invitation) with an award-winning nine-hole golf course, yachting, fine dining, tennis, swimming, croquet, and skeet shooting. This legacy estate epitomizes refined waterfront living.
