By Hubble Bisbee

Nestled on the desirable and private Gibson Island, 1812 Skippers Row is a beautifully renovated Nantucket-style retreat that perfectly blends timeless charm with luxury in a picturesque waterfront setting. This 4 bedroom, 4 bath home offers an impressive 3,000+ square feet of living space, featuring thoughtful architectural details and stunning water views. With a seamless open layout, high-end finishes, and a guesthouse to match, this residence is the epitome of coastal living.

The main level invites guests into an expansive great room, boasting a coffered ceiling, a wood-burning fireplace with a shiplap accent wall, and custom built-ins. French doors along a wall of windows flood the space with natural light and lead to a full-width patio overlooking the water. Flowing from the great room is the dining area and gourmet kitchen, a chef’s dream outfitted with Yorktowne cabinetry, granite countertops, and professional-grade appliances. A spacious walk-in pantry adds convenience to this well-designed space. Three generously sized bedrooms and three full baths are also located on this level, each thoughtfully appointed for comfort and style. A mudroom with access to the side yard ensures practicality without compromising elegance.

The upper level is dedicated to the luxurious primary suite. This private sanctuary features a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, built-in bookcases, and French doors that open to a sprawling 530-square-foot covered porch, offering sweeping harbor views. The suite also includes a study with custom built-ins, a spa-like bathroom with a walk-in shower and rain showerhead, and a custom walk-in closet. The porch, accessed from both the study and the bedroom, is an idyllic spot for morning coffee or an evening retreat.

For added flexibility, the property includes a charming guesthouse, complete with its own living room, kitchenette, bedroom, and full bath. French doors from the guest bedroom open to its own patio, mirroring the main home’s connection to the outdoors. This space is ideal for hosting overnight guests or as a private office or studio. Both the main house and the guesthouse feature full-width patios.

Set on a beautifully manicured lot, the home’s exterior features are equally impressive. The private dock includes a boat lift, catering to water enthusiasts eager to explore the Chesapeake Bay. A fenced side yard, semi-circular driveway, and additional parking pads add convenience to this idyllic property. Whether you’re gazing at sailboats from the porch or enjoying the peaceful harbor breeze on your patio, 1812 Skippers Row offers an unmatched blend of beauty and functionality in one of Maryland’s most premier waterfront communities.
