Unique features: The round windows could pass for portals on a ship. A ceramic mermaid embellishes the master bath. And a 100-foot pier begs a plunge into Middle River, on sultry summer days. This contemporary home, near Essex, speaks to the sea.

A three-story residence, it sits at the mouth of Middle River and the edge of Turkey Point Park — a true surf-and-turf setting. A gated entrance leads to the multi-turreted structure, which features a two-story living room and hardwood floors. With nearly 6,000 square feet of living space, it boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms, the fanciest of which bears the mermaid statue.

Windows abound; some are floor-to-ceiling, offering panoramic water views, others are graceful circles that give a cruise-line feel to the place. Stylish curved walls and three gas fireplaces add to the aesthetics of the home, built in 2004. There’s also a fitness room, a full porch (with retractable screens, for easy power washing) and an eight-seat theater with leather chairs.

The quiet property — the last stop on a dead-end road — includes a three-car garage, an in-ground irrigation system and a private dock with a boat lift and three jet ski lifts.
