BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Saturday September 12th 12-3. Rich in history, timeless in character, and unmatched in location, this extraordinary waterfront estate traces its origins to the early 1900s as the historic Girton House Hotel. Perfectly positioned at the tip of Curtis Point, where the West River meets the Chesapeake Bay, the property later became the beloved Danes on the Bay restaurant, a cherished local landmark. Today, this remarkable estate offers an exceptional blend of historic significance, architectural character, and one of the Chesapeake Bays most spectacular waterfront settings. Encompassing more than 9,000 square feet of living space, this waterfront estate is gracefully sited on a premier point of land just under one acre, with over 250 feet of protected shoreline and a private deep-water pier with approximately six plus feet of mean low water depth, ideally suited for both elegant sailing vessels and substantial power yachts. Located just 20 miles from historic Annapolis and approximately 45 miles from Washington, D.C., the residence offers an extraordinary balance of secluded waterfront luxury and effortless access to major metropolitan destinations. Commanding sweeping vistas of the Chesapeake Bay and West River, the estate features multiple boat lifts, eight bedrooms, and an array of expansive, thoughtfully designed entertaining spaces. A truly rare offering, it stands among the most compelling values for a luxury waterfront estate in the region.
