Property Description
Beautiful Breton Bay Custom Retreat. A sprawling 6800+sqft one-of-a-kind gem. Over 325' of stunning, coveted, waterfrontage on Breton Bay and quick access to the Potomac River. This expansive 5BR/5 Bath home is nestled perfectly on a lovely 4 acre lot and accessed down its long, pretty, maple-lined lane. The original owner, Laura Mae Mako, was a renowned interior designer and two of the bedroom suites in this home are named for her dear friends and frequent guests, Bob Hope and Helen Hayes. The original wood floors through much of this custom home were sourced in Maryland, then hand-hewn with a peg installation. True master craftsmanship, quality construction and timeless design flow seamlessly throughout this coastal sanctuary. Custom fireplaces grace 5 of the expansive rooms. Stunning water views abound across the entire back of the home. Custom built-in cabinetry in the vaulted living room, Primary Suite and the south suites hall provide so much storage and display space. All bedroom suites have ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets. The rooms are all grand with views of water or gardens and bedrooms are all substantial in size. Lovely bay windows, French doors, arched halls, millwork, vaulted ceilings, beams, custom lighting and special premium touches throughout. Multiple screened porches, both water and garden-side. Private sitting areas, niches and nooks are tucked across this fabulous floor plan. Deep decks across the back of this home provide incredible waterside dining and entertaining spaces. Enjoy the 8'wide and 100+' pier with 10,000lb boat lift and a 2nd lift for kayaks or SUP's. Relax on the sun-bathing platform or take your sunset seat for cocktail hour or sunrise seating for Osprey and Bay life watching. Truly, every door and window has something lovely to see. Take refuge from the every day hustle and bustle to enjoy the gardens and lane, the large, screened Gazebo and the water activities, oysters, crabs and fishing just steps from this home. The circle drive allows for fantastic parking for friends and family. The brick-paved port cochere provides ample covered parking. The large detached shed stores all your lawn and garden gear. Separate exterior stairs lead to the 2nd story private apartment over the port cochere. This cozy 1BR/1BA apartment with kitchenette is wonderful for over-flow guests or a private office or studio. The basement has significant extra storage too. This home just exceeds expectations as soon as you open the front door. Just a short 10 minute drive (or quick boat cruise) from Historic Leonardtown and it's charming restaurants, shops and events. Close to all area shopping and schools. Only 1.5 hours from DC/NOVA. Shown by Appointment only to pre-qualified buyers. Please Do not walk property without an agent. Occupied Home.
