About 1576 Bay Head Rd

As you make your way down the quarter-mile private road, passing one of the area's last working farms and historic tobacco barns, you arrive at 1576 Bay Head Road—a breathtaking waterfront sanctuary in the historic enclave of Podickory Point. Set on over an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds and boasting 250 feet of unobstructed water frontage along the Little Magothy River, this stunning estate offers an unmatched lifestyle of luxury, tranquility, and effortless connection to the Chesapeake Bay. Built in 2015 with meticulous attention to detail, this 7,000 sq. ft. home invites you to immerse yourself in a world where everyday living feels like a vacation. Imagine spending the day out on the bay, crabbing, fishing, or exploring the waterways, and returning to your private 60-foot pier, where two boat slips and a spacious landing make docking a breeze. Fully equipped with water and electric, the pier becomes the heart of your waterfront living, whether you’re unloading the day’s catch or hosting friends for an impromptu evening of sunsets and cocktails by the water. Outdoor entertaining reaches new heights with two expansive decks that capture the beauty of the river. One deck is covered for a shaded, serene retreat, while the other features a retractable awning, giving you the freedom to bask in the sun or relax under the shade. These spaces are ideal for summer barbecues, holiday gatherings, or quiet evenings watching the changing colors of the sky reflect on the water. Step inside, and the home’s sophistication and warmth envelop you. Sunlight pours through walls of windows, illuminating a thoughtfully designed open floor plan that maximizes both comfort and function. The two-story family room, with its soaring ceilings and breathtaking water views, is a showstopper and the perfect backdrop for cozy evenings by the fire or lively family celebrations. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, a six-burner stove, and an oversized island that’s perfect for preparing meals or gathering with guests over wine and laughter. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast area offers a front-row seat to the river’s serene beauty, making casual meals feel extraordinary. The main-level primary suite is your private haven, where you can wake up to the soft glow of the sunrise over the water. Crown molding, a romantic coffered ceiling, and a spa-like en suite bath with a soaking tub and walk-in shower create a space that is as elegant as it is restful. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and beautifully appointed baths provide ample space for family and guests, ensuring everyone feels at home. Downstairs, the fully finished basement is an entertainer’s paradise. Host movie nights in the private theater room, mix drinks at the wet bar, or let guests unwind in the recreation area while you enjoy a workout in the home gym. The seamless flow of this home makes it just as suited for grand celebrations as it is for intimate gatherings, with every detail designed to bring people together while still allowing for peaceful retreats. This property offers more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re crabbing from your dock, kayaking along the shoreline, or enjoying the simple pleasure of sitting on your deck as the water laps against the shore, life here feels unhurried, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature. Despite its serene setting, the home is ideally located just minutes from major commuter routes, including Route 50, I-97, and Route 2, and a short drive to downtown Annapolis, where you can enjoy dining, shopping, and cultural landmarks. Perfectly blending timeless elegance, modern convenience, and the unmatched beauty of the Chesapeake Bay, 1576 Bay Head Road is more than just a place to live—it’s a place to create memories, build traditions, and embrace the best of waterfront living. Don’t miss your chance to call this extraordinary property home.
