Perfectly located in the heart of Gibson Island, this exquisite American Craftsman residence offers timeless architectural character and tranquil views overlooking Otter Pond. A stone walkway winds through mature landscaping to a striking covered entry, where a handcrafted wood front door, lantern-style gas lit sconces, and exposed wood eaves introduce the home’s thoughtful design and refined craftsmanship. Originally built in 1930, this property was comprehensively rebuilt and expanded in 2023 by the current owners. Designed by architect Bryian Swanson, Swanson Design, and constructed by acclaimed builder Delbert Adams, the home blends classic, high-quality Craftsman elements—textured stucco, copper gutters, architectural shingles, deep overhangs with natural wood detailing, custom mahogany vaulted ceilings and front hall cabinetry, and custom Andersen windows—with modern enhancements. Throughout the home, tranquil pond and woodland vistas reinforce a sense of privacy and connection to nature. Both welcoming and secluded, the setting captures the essence of Gibson Island living--architectural integrity, natural beauty, and year-round appeal. With an interior footprint of 6,348 square feet above grade and a 1,150-square-foot finished basement, the floor plan includes six bedrooms, five full baths, and two half baths across three finished levels. A chef’s gourmet kitchen designed by renowned kitchen designer, Jennifer Gilmore, is at the heart of the home. The house includes a breakfast room, living room, “pond room,” den, and stunning wet bar. The private, wooded property spans 1.1 acres, is thoughtfully landscaped and has an irrigation system for the upper lawn and garden areas. The property conveys with a separate 3,225-square-foot waterfront lot off Stillwater Road below the house, ensuring permanent views and direct access to Otter Pond. If a dock is to be built there, it must be approved by the Gibson Island Corporation Architectural Committee, the Gibson Island Corporation, and Anne Arundel County, and other governmental entities. More information on this may take additional time. The grounds are thoughtfully landscaped.
