Real Estate Stunning

Exquisite EquestrianThemed Living

By Lisa J. Gotto

Located on more than 13 acres of pristine waterfront property along the Wye River in Queenstown, this home is palatial and well-suited for lovers of the equine lifestyle. This custom-designed Old World-style estate offers best-in-class appointments and amenities.

Gracious open-plan living glides along floors of re-claimed and refurbished barnwood. The statement-making kitchen is an homage to living, cooking, and entertaining in the French manor style. Rich, dark wood lower cabinets are off-set by rustic, white upper cabinets and a large white central island with thick slate top. Every appliance, with the exception of the six-burner gas range, is expertly hidden behind custom cabinetry. Charming arched casement windows add the finishing touch to this memorable gathering space.

The main living area is warm and inviting and serves as the location of one of the home’s four impressive fireplaces. Styled after a grand reception room, it is bathed in natural light from several sets of French doors and flows into open-plan dining space. The home’s main level also includes a luxurious master bedroom and bath suite, a family room, study, and game room.

Peaceful Creekside Colonial

By Lisa J. Gotto

Idyllic and serene best describe this 4,000-square-foot, waterfront home situated just steps from Cox Creek on Kent Island. This piece of paradise offers everything that makes living in the Chesapeake Bay area so desirable. Walking into the foyer, you get a great sense of scale for the main level, which includes a large open-plan living area. Dark hardwoods and natural light abound, as does many custom touches and features. Several cozy seating options frame the space around an efficient kitchen with curved center island with farmhouse sink. This is a perfect room for gathering and entertaining.

Just off the kitchen is a unique pantry space where most if the room’s extras are stored. It features an old-school custom sink with drainboard, generous shelving for dishes and other kitchen wares, and enough space for an additional refrigerator. The main living space with its large central Federal fireplace is framed with numerous windows, which look out into the tranquil waters of Cox Creek. This level also features a separate formal living room for conversation and great water views and a master suite.

This level opens up to a covered back patio with gorgeous wood beams overhead and vertical floor-to-ceiling wood blinds on either side creating a spacious outdoor living room with a panorama of creek views. Just

steps ahead, you can walk out to the property’s private boat dock, which is large enough for its own private seating area—perfect for reading and daydreaming.

In addition to three generous bedrooms with water views on the home’s upper level, the property offers attached living quarters with a separate entrance. Like the main house, the quaint retreat features custom touches, a large bedroom, and central living space with its own fantastic creek views.
