Nestled amidst winding, wooded roads, 1346 E West Shady Side Road is sited on a private 2.5 acre parcel with more than 300 ft of West River waterfrontage. The private pier has lifts for jet skis and a power boat and the location gives immediate access to the Chesapeake Bay. Coming to market for the first time, this grand home is a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship and luxury, while embracing indoor/outdoor living and the property's expansive water views. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by an awe-inspiring double story foyer that opens into the great room and out onto the waterside porch with gorgeous West River views. The marble floor of the foyer is offset by two floating staircases that rise in symmetry to the spectacular chandelier overhead. A mezzanine overlooks the foyer and the great room's floor to ceiling windows, offering views of the water and beautiful sunsets. The floor plan was thoughtfully designed to capture the home's grandeur while maintaining lots of distinct living spaces for family and friends to congregate. Two main level primary suites, each with gas fireplaces and seating areas, are graciously appointed at either wing of the home. In addition to formal seating in the great room, there is an informal dining area and family room anchored by a gas fireplace. The adjoining chef's kitchen has Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. All these rooms overlook the water and have terrace access. Fabulous hardwood floors are found in almost every room on the first and second floors. Unique features, such as a water view window through the stone fireplace, abound. In addition to the powder room and the main level bedrooms' ensuite bathrooms, there is another full bath that was created for use on summer days after spending time on the water. Tucked in a tiled area off the garage, there is an oversized walk-in shower with lots of space for storing towels and water related gear. It's a perfect example of how the home was designed for the waterfront lifestyle. An additional stairwell next to the kitchen provides convenient access to the 2nd level. An elevator which lands on all three floors is another option. Four spacious bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms and large closets, are spread across the second floor. In addition to the bedrooms, there is a wonderful bonus room which offers the opportunity for any number of functions: a fitness center, playroom, billiard room, or screening room.The third floor has two bedrooms, a hall bathroom, a casual seating area, and plenty of storage -- perfect for when you have a full house of guests and need all 8 bedrooms. This level could also serve as an au pair or in-law suite. The oversized four-car garage has two regular car bays and one double wide / extra tall which could store a boat or RV. Outside, a spacious terrace is framed by the backyard which extends to the private beach and pier. A comprehensive set of industrial systems support the home, including geothermal cooling and heating (electric bills average $300/month!), 4 hot water heaters, and 2 back-up, 18 KW Kohler generators. This property is on public sewer. Just an hour drive to Washington DC and 40 minutes to Annapolis.
