Spectacular West River waterfront! A serene lot with panoramic water views, a custom-built home that exudes coastal style, a private dock with two boat slips, a detached 3-car garage with a storage loft, a spacious yard for playing and entertaining, an exquisite vantage point for enjoying the area’s natural beauty, from waterfowl to sunsets. Welcome to 1100 Steamboat Road, offering the best of Chesapeake Bay living on the picturesque West River in Shady Side, MD. Privately sited at the end of Steamboat Road on a gated 0.5-acre lot, this superb property boasts approximately 133 feet of water frontage with expansive, 180-degree views of the West River. The 300-foot private dock features an ideal configuration for both sailors and powerboaters: a rare, deep-water boat slip with mean low water depth of approximately 7 feet, and a second slip with mean low water depth of approximately 3.5 feet, also equipped with a 20,000-lb motorized lift. The dock provides easy access to the channel in the river and the Bay beyond and is outfitted with electricity, water, two dock boxes, and two floating docks to accommodate dinghies, kayaks, SUPs, or other small watercraft. A dream come true for those looking to embrace the waterfront lifestyle! The meticulously-maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was expertly designed to enhance the setting. Most living spaces enjoy sweeping, unobstructed water views. Among the many highlights are a main level with an airy, easy-flow layout great for entertaining, a gourmet eat-in kitchen, an attractive elevator for convenient access between floors, a main-level bedroom (currently configured as an office), a masonry chimney and gas fireplace, and a deck with gas fire pit - a favorite spot for savoring the sunsets year-round. The second level includes a primary suite with two walk-in closets and a spa-like bath with separate WC, a family room with prime views and a private balcony, plus two additional generously-sized bedrooms sharing a hall bath. Two staircases allow for privacy between the primary suite and guest spaces. The detached garage provides covered parking for 3 vehicles plus a substantial upper-level storage space with great potential: consider converting it to a bunk room, teen hangout, separate work studio, or other creative use. The home is equipped with three zones of HVAC and a whole-house backup generator, and the well-tended yard includes an irrigation system for lawn and landscaping. This special property also holds a place in local history: from the late 1800s to early 1900s, the steamboat “Emma Giles” docked here on a regular route from Baltimore to points on the Bay (hence the name Steamboat Road). Today, it’s ready for your enjoyment as a weekend retreat or full-time residence, conveniently located less than 40 miles from downtown DC, approximately 20 miles from Annapolis, and less than 40 miles from BWI Airport. A must-see! Agent related to owners. Square footage estimated per recent floor plan drawing; all measurements approximate.
