Maryland’s Eastern Shore, no doubt, has one of today’s hottest real estate markets. This gorgeous 10,000-square-foot home is the perfect example of just how robust it is: It sold so quickly, there was no time to take images of its interiors. “This is what I call a complete waterfront package,” says Brad Kappel of TTR Sotheby’s International Real Estate, of the property’s expansive and secluded flat lot with mature landscaping, its deep-water pier, waterside pool, and five-car garage. “This type of property rarely comes to market and it’s no wonder that it sold the first day…for over list price!”

Rest assured, this striking waterfront estate nailed it when it came to the superior quality of its interior finishes. Upon first step inside the home, guests are greeted with a soaring, two-story foyer that is bright and sunny, and provides a focal point of a grand and gracious architectural staircase.

Specifically designed for entertaining both indoors and out, the home’s main level offers a brand-new chef’s kitchen loaded with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a main level master suite with fireplace, and a 600-square-foot main level in-law suite. This property boasts five additional bedrooms and the baths to go with each. Downstairs, there’s a fully-equipped family entertainment zone with a seven-seat theatre room with 88-inch screen.

As far as views go, it just doesn’t get any better than this. Exquisitely located on the banks of Crab Alley Bay in Serenity Farms, this 2.6-acre property features 383 feet of water frontage offering the opportunity for breathtaking sunrises. These views can be enjoyed from the home’s expansive, waterside screened-in porch or the property’s exclusive private beach.

Primary Structure Built: 2005 Sold For: $3,100,000 Original List Price: $2,999,000 Bedrooms: 7 Baths: 7 Full, 2 Half Living Space: 9,974 Sq. Ft. Lot Size: 2.58 Acres

Outside, the new homeowners will also enjoy the benefits of a saltwater, heated pool, pool house, and hot tub. Its private deep-water pier with eight-feet of water depth is a boat enthusiast’s dream as it is equipped with a 24,000- and a 10,000-pound boat lift, floating jet ski lifts, and 100-amp shore power pedestal.

“My clients were looking for a home which could accommodate them, their children, and grandchildren as a gathering place for the family,” says buyers’ agent, Laurie Dellane of Chesapeake Real Estate Associates. “With the gorgeous water views, deep water pier, pool, theater room, multiple bedrooms with en suite baths and so many other amenities, it was the perfect fit. They are now enjoying making lasting memories and all the Chesapeake Bay area has to offer.”
