Property size: 4,096-square-foot house has four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom, plus a four-car detached garage and in-ground swimming pool. The 5.2-acre lot includes 280 feet of waterfront.
Unique features: The new owners of this 5-acre property can choose among three different options for enjoying the water: They can boat in Eastern Bay after sunning themselves on their small private beach. They can do laps in the outdoor swimming pool located just feet from the warmth of the fire pit. And they can enjoy cocktails at the edge of their personal pond, which attracts bald eagles, osprey, deer, duck, blue herons and other wildlife.
Located in the Bennett Point community, this property comes with three deep-water boat slips at the community pier. Two of those slips have boat lifts that provide easy access to the Wye River.
Sunsets here are spectacular, and can be enjoyed in warm months from a deck chair on the pond’s edge, and during cooler months from the screened sun porch in the rear.
When they tire of the water, the new owners can shoot hoops into a net from the paved patio, work out in the home gym or shoot pool in the game room.
This home lends itself to entertaining a crowd. The extensive outdoor patio is wide enough to accommodate multiple groupings of chairs and tables and even a game of table tennis, while the outdoor covered portico and wooden walkway make it easy to navigate the property.
The interior features an open concept kitchen and living room, with two stories of windows large large enough to frame mature trees from roots to crowns. The home has three fireplaces, Brazilian cherry floors, crown moldings and a stone wall. The kitchen has a large central island and separate dining area and includes wine storage. The living room, kitchen and some bedrooms have water views.
