The lot encompasses 3.44 acres of private woods with approximately 270 ft of lake frontage. Exterior re-claimed redwood blends the home naturally with the surrounding forest.

Enter your home through the huge solarium with the colors and fragrances of your favorite plants to welcome you. The solarium gives you a year round growing season. Lemons, figs, and peppers do well in it.

The interior great room features warm re-claimed redwood walls, continuing the theme of connection to the surrounding outdoors. The main level features a large, open floor plan with outdoor views and deck access from all rooms.

Walk directly out from the open great room to deep-breathe fresh air scented by evergreens. From either main level bedroom step out in complete privacy - no one can see you - before or after bedtime. When you come back inside enjoy a crackling fire in the great room fireplace.

The second floor is perfect for whatever fits your lifestyle. You decide. The current owners used the entire second floor as a master suite - with space for reading, TV, and exercise. Pamper yourself in the private dressing and makeup room. A large walk-in closet is cedar lined.

The suite also has its own large balcony in the solarium, to savor the taste and aroma of morning tea or coffee while watching the sunrise paint with the colors of peach skin. Additional storage lines both sides of the structure on this floor.

The attic is unfinished storage space, or a blank slate waiting to be re-imagined.

The private lower level includes a second kitchen, wood stove, and workshop, and can be accessed through its own sliding door to the rear yard.

Or, being less than an hours drive from Washington, DC, make this your very peaceful, lake front weekend getaway home! The beaches and restaurants of Chesapeake Beach, North Beach, and Herrington Harbor are all minutes away. Launch your canoe or kayak from your own back yard lake frontage. Fishing is good and is reserved for community residents. Wildlife delights you.

Eighty four species of birds were seen here. Cuckoos preach, thrashers rustle, and pileated woodpeckers laugh. If you echo the night birds, they'll answer. Frogs peep in the spring.

Set game cameras to watch the animals at night when they are far more active. Deer, foxes, raccoons, flying squirrels (yes, the cute tiny gliders), owls, bats, and with luck, bobcats emerge.

Star-gazing is easy in the low light pollution and, like the other features here, can be addicting.

Here you have solace and solitude.
