Perched above the Chesapeake Bay, this exceptional waterfront home offers sweeping views, and a setting that feels like a retreat every single day. Set on over an acre with 200+ feet of shoreline, the property blends natural beauty with thoughtful upgrades, creating a space that is both refined and relaxed. Inside, you'll find over 4,000 square feet of living space designed to capture the water from nearly every angle. The main level features a primary suite, making everyday living easy and flexible. The kitchen opens to dining and living areas, all filled with natural light and framed by the Bay beyond. Upstairs and down, the home offers room to spread out, including a finished lower level with a full bath and bar area, ideal for entertaining or extended stays. Step outside and the property truly shines. Professionally designed ornamental gardens surround the home, creating a layered landscape of color and texture. Hardscaped patios, including a slate circular patio and paver terrace, offer perfect spaces to gather. Enjoy evenings by the firepit, quiet mornings on the screened porch, or host on the expansive deck overlooking the water. A shoreline revetment is already in place, and extensive drainage and stormwater systems have been thoughtfully installed to protect and preserve the land. Major systems have been upgraded for comfort and efficiency, including a geothermal HVAC system with three-zone climate control, a new hot water heater, whole-house water filtration with UV sanitizer, and Andersen rear picture windows that frame the view beautifully. Located in the Western Shores community, this property offers a rare opportunity not just as a primary residence, but also as a potential income-producing asset. Short-term rentals are permitted, making this an ideal Airbnb or second home investment in one of Calvert County's most scenic waterfront settings. There is no HOA, giving you flexibility and fewer restrictions, but the community does have a Civic Association. The annual fee is just $75 for a single-family home. If you choose to take advantage of short-term rental opportunities like Airbnb, the Civic Association fee is $750 per year. Just a short drive to Washington DC, Annapolis, and Solomons Island, you get the best of both worlds. A peaceful waterfront escape with access to everything you need. If you've been waiting for a true Chesapeake Bay property that combines views, land, privacy, and flexibility, this is the one.
