1725 St Giles Rd Gibson Island, MD 21056

Cozy and hidden from sight quietly sits a custom brick mid-century modern home on a private, wooded lot. A nature lovers delight, enjoy the multitude of birds and wildlife from this property! A path to a small bridge leads to a lily pond full of koi and frogs in the middle of the circular driveway in front of the house. Another path by the pond has an inviting bench on which to sit and enjoy this beautiful property. Two driveways enable access on this .63-acre corner lot.

Walk along the stone path to the front door with covered entryway. Opening to the central foyer, there are beautiful, beamed wood ceilings and painted wood paneling throughout most of the main floor and walls along the stairs to the lower level. Step up from the foyer to the living room and woodburning fireplace to the right of the foyer. The living room flows to a light filled sunroom with a glass roof and curving wall of windows descending from the roof overlooking the beautiful, wooded backyard and terrace. The dining room adjoins the kitchen, and there is a large laundry room next to the kitchen. Conveniently carry your groceries from the secondary entrance inside the carport into the kitchen. To the left of the front door is a hallway leading to three bedrooms and two full baths. The primary bedroom overlooks the wooded backyard of the property and opens into a large sitting room. The above-ground lower level has a generously sized recreation room, an additional room that could easily be used as a fourth bedroom (and indeed, was used as such in the past), and a utility room. An exterior door from the recreation room opens to a path and small patio leading to a storage shed that is built into the house and the side yard.

This warm and welcoming home is centrally located on Gibson Island. It would make the perfect getaway or primary residence. Still under original family ownership, the house was designed and built by its architect owner in 1957. If you seek a small foothold on Gibson Island in a beautiful, wooded location with the option of one level living, this house is for you!

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)
