STEVE SHANUS

Description

"Quail Hollow", with the Chesapeake Bay in view, is the quintessential estate property for both a multi-faceted, active lifestyle and slowing down of the clock kind of days. A private, serene, nature and wildlife rich environ, each day is unique and you will always feel "grounded" within this 18-acre waterfront enclave. This carefully maintained red-brick colonial-style residence first floor features several flowing rooms for relaxation and entertainment, and some extend to blue-stoned terraces. Welcoming foyer, warm library with gas fireplace, dining room with corner cupboards, "great" living room, also with gas fireplace and an entire waterside of true-divided light windows and doors. The updated island-kitchen with breakfast room and bay window is adjacent to one of the newer additions to the residence, "The River Room". This window filled room greets every sunrise and experiences the sun setting blazes as well. The second floor features the primary suite, a waterfront bedroom with two room sized walk-in closets (one with a discreet laundry) and bathroom complete with porcelain soaking tub. The most inviting guest suite, with ensuite bath, features a private staircase to the first floor, and bookends the primary suite with two additional bedrooms and tiled bath. An attached two car garage, powder room, mud room with laundry, multiple closets and a temperature-controlled wine room complete the heart of this special place. A full-size attic with dormer windows tops the house. Space does not allow for adequate descriptions of the remaining outbuildings and features of Quail Hollow. The photo gallery will provide a sneak preview of its impeccable barn (designed by owner), detached garage with a game room above, a well-crafted two-story building that could be a generous guest house, luxury canine kennels with fenced yard, and two rustic garden sheds that rival those of Martha Stewart. Fenced spaces were carefully designed and nurtured for gardening: Kitchen, Sculpture, Flower and Nursery. The salt-water pool and small pool house for refreshments, water side gazebo and a perfectly designed regulation Bocce court grace the property's waterside. A premium slip is deeded at the completely rebuilt community dock (2024) and an approved permit is in place to build a private dock. Deer privileges for owners and friends only and two duck blinds strategically placed too!
