This 2,600 sq ft home sits on a 26,000 sq ft yard with a bluff just 12 feet above a mile-long stretch of beach on the Chesapeake Bay. The expansive bay view stretches about seven miles across to Taylors Island on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The water remains shallow to 60 ft out with small waves - great for kids. We have spectacular sunrises. Enjoy rooftop yoga, fishing from the shore or jetty, beach fires, and a 5 minute beach walk to the Flag Harbor Yacht Haven -- a great place to explore. You'll see ships traveling between the Baltimore Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean, and you'll spot plenty of wildlife, including herons, eagles, hawks, and egrets. Bring along a kite for windy days!

Descend the steps from our front yard to a mile of sandy beach. On the backside of the property, you will find a private entrance to the beach where we keep the kayaks and rowboat. You'll also find an exterior closet with chairs, sand toys, personal flotation devices, and oars. You'll also find a large "Breezeway Bench" overlooking the ravine and stream where the water flows from the village down to the bay. Where the stream flows onto the beach is a fun spot for making sand castles. We love to lap swim when the conditions are right, so bring along your goggles!

Our ground floor mother-in-law suite with beach and bay views includes a king-size bed; private full bathroom with walk-in shower, heated floors and marble vanity; and kitchenette with sink, mini fridge, microwave and Keurig The ground floor of the main house features a half bathroom; the sun room with mini refrigerator, and French doors to access the yard overlooking the bay; living room with two granite desks that overlook the bay flanking a non-working fireplace, 55" smart (Roku device) with surround sound; the well-stocked kitchen with drip coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, plenty of spices and utensils; and dining room.

Upstairs, we have two large bedrooms (both with king-size beds) and a shared full bathroom. Both upstairs bedrooms have their own sinks, and the north-facing bedroom also has its own commode (a half bath). Both bedrooms have access to the rooftop patio. Bring along yoga mats for your sunrise practice!

Our main kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals. We have a gas grill and a double crab cooker in front of our detached garage. You can buy locally-caught crabs from 'Chesapeake's Bounty' farmer's market in our village where they also sell fresh, local produce and other seasonal fish. Have a crab feast on our picnic table overlooking the bay! Enjoy the fire-pit and two hammocks on the bluff, which overlooks the bay.

Our beach is private with neighborhood access only. No lifeguards are on duty. Neighbors may access the beach via the stairs at the distant side of our parking circle. You have a private entrance to the beach on the backside of the house where you'll find the kayaks, rowboat and an outdoor closet holding 6 chairs, life jackets, oars, and plenty of sand toys.

Our rooftop patio is accessible from both bedrooms on the first upper level and overlooks the beach and Bay.
