Property Description
Set on a picturesque 0.7-acre (30,492 sq ft) lot, the property offers privacy, sweeping lawn space, and direct water access via private steps leading to the shoreline. The cedar shake exterior, slate roof, striking stone chimney, and blue stone walkway openings to a charming bluestone terrace, and lantern-lit entry create a memorable arrival, framed by mature boxwoods, flowering vines, crepe myrtles, and seasonal daffodils.
Inside, 2,867 square feet of curated living space reflects a polished coastal aesthetic, featuring designer wallpaper, tailored lighting, and carefully selected fixtures throughout. Expansive windows and glass doors welcome abundant natural light while framing tranquil water views from multiple vantage points.
The residence offers five bedrooms and four full bathrooms, providing versatility for guests, family living, or work-from-home needs. Seamless indoor-outdoor flow leads to the expansive waterside lawn and inviting terraces, ideal for enjoying the serene Bay setting.
Additional highlights include a spacious driveway and golf cart garage, supporting the relaxed island lifestyle that defines Gibson Island living.
817 Broadwater Way represents a rare opportunity to own a turnkey waterfront retreat in one of the Chesapeake Bay's most sought-after private communities.
Information on Gibson Island:
Gibson Island is a private island within one hour of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore offering an absolutely extraordinary setting. The Island comprises 1000 acres with seven miles of shoreline. Two thirds of the Island is undeveloped and is owned by the Gibson Island Corporation, the homeowners' association. The remaining third is residential home sites.
Gibson Island is located on the western shore of Maryland, so there is no need to cross the Bay Bridge. On the Island is a 43-acre spring fed freshwater lake in which one may enjoy non-motorized watercraft activities such as paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and swimming.
The Island offers enormous privacy and security--there is an entry gatehouse staffed 24+Hours, and the Island is patrolled by the Gibson Island Police Force (GIPD). The Gibson Island Corporation Service Department offers yard maintenance and landscaping and other services for homeowners. There is a full-service yacht yard. From the Island, it is just a 20-minute drive to BWI Airport and the neighboring Amtrak train station.
The Island houses a private country club (membership by invitation) offering yachting, fine dining year-round, tennis, an award-winning Charles Blair Macdonald designed 9-hole golf course, swimming, croquet, skeet shooting, and more. (C)
