Welcome to this extraordinary waterfront estate, gracefully sited on 6.92 lush, landscaped acres with sweeping views of Leadenham Creek. Designed by architect Alan Meyers, constructed by Ilex Construction, and masterfully styled by interior designer Skip Sroka, this 10,000+/-sq. ft. residence is a showcase of timeless craftsmanship and elevated design.
The custom brick exterior is crowned by a new cedar shake roof with copper caps and bands, creating a refined profile that blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings. Double mahogany doors with full-view, artistically designed leaded glass open to a luminous foyer with immediate, breathtaking views of the water.
Inside, riff-sawn red oak floors flow through expansive formal and informal living areas. Vaulted ceilings add architectural drama, while curated lighting provides warmth and sophistication throughout. The main level features formal living and dining rooms, a stunning gourmet kitchen, and multiple spaces designed for both relaxation and entertaining.
The kitchen is a chef's dream--equipped with top-tier appliances, a large center island, sitting area with fireplace, and an eat-in dining space. Just off the kitchen, a beautifully crafted screened porch with an octagonal ceiling offers a peaceful, year-round retreat. A walk-in pantry and custom-designed bar enhance both function and hospitality.
Also on the main level is a striking private office wrapped in Anigre wood paneling, featuring custom built-ins and a circular backlit ceiling. A separate guest wing includes a spacious family/recreation room with spectacular river views and two guest suites with ensuite baths.
The primary suite enjoys its own private wing, with serene water views, a cozy sitting area and fireplace, dual walk-in closets, and an elegant dressing hall. The luxurious, spa-inspired bath includes a soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower, creating a true sanctuary of comfort and privacy.
Upstairs, dual wings on opposite sides of the home offer two additional guest suites with ensuite baths, a bonus/music room, and a dedicated fitness room. Five fireplaces handcrafted by Collecio Brothers Stone Masons bring warmth and timeless character throughout the home.
Modern systems include geothermal heating and cooling, a new Honeywell HVAC control system, Vantage lighting automation, a fully encapsulated crawlspace, and a Generac generator. In addition to the oversized 3+ car attached garage, a separate detached two-bay garage offers equipment storage, a workshop, and a half bath.
Outdoors, the estate is designed for both grand entertaining and quiet waterfront living. Features include an extended waterside patio, beautiful pool house with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, two dressing rooms, an outdoor shower, and an in-ground pool with heated spa. Over 1,000 feet of riprapped shoreline and a 210-foot private dock with two slips, a floating dock, and 7-foot MLW offer direct access to the Chesapeake Bay.
This remarkable estate was built for luxurious living, effortless entertaining, and a deep connection to the natural beauty of Maryland's Eastern Shore.
