Description
1623 St. Giles Road is an absolutely lovely four-bedroom, four full bath, waterfront cottage on the lake with magnificent sunrises and simply stunning views of the lake, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Bay Bridge. The cottage was completed in 1950 and has a 45-degree radius turn specifically designed to capture the water views and prevailing summer breezes. The original cottage was expanded in 2011 with a Charleston inspired addition built by top tier builder, Delbert Adams, who built the Gibson Island Club. A long, winding gravel driveway lined with hollies and hardwood leads to this private lake retreat. A sunny bluestone patio faces the lake, and a shaded deck overlooks the waterboth are perfect for gatherings, just simply relaxing, and bird watching. A flagstone path leads to a firepit circle for continued outside enjoyment. Steps continue to the private dock where one can continue to bask in the glorious views, fish, rod, canoe, kayak or paddle board on Otter Pond, a 42-acre freshwater lake. Alongside the house is an outdoor shower. This solid inviting cottage has enjoyed many significant upgrades. The original cottage is masonry block construction finished in stucco. With two bedrooms and two renovated baths on the main level, a cozy living room with a large woodburning fireplace overlooks the lake and the Chesapeake Bay. There is a curved, beautifully paneled den off the living room and a spacious dining room overlooking the water. An updated kitchen is centrally located in the house. With an inviting sunroom off the deck, stairs lead to the lower level also boasting lovely water views, where there is a finished rec room, a sunlit ensuite bedroom with updated full bath, a recently built laundry room, and a storage/utility area. The Charleston inspired addition has matching stucco and maintains the integrity of the original cottage, providing a first level screened piazza leading to the cottage, and a second level screened piazza off the spectacular, substantial private guest suite and large full bath. The addition connects to the original cottage via elevator and descending stairs to the piazza on the ground level. An oversized garage with plenty of storage space is part of the 2011 addition.
