Bayhouse

by Bruce Palmer Interior Design

Welcome to the Chesapeake Bayhouse situated on 26 acres of wetlands, located at the mouth of the Choptank River. This new construction home was modeled after the original 1920’s farmhouse which incorporates multiple family activities including a full size tennis court, huge swimming pool, badminton and volleyball area, and a dock for recreations such as jet skis. The interior boasts a complete full size billiards room, additional game room, sound proofed music room, and a luxurious theater room. You will even find a built-in pizza oven at the pool lounge with an exquisite outdoor fireplace modeled after the Thomas Point lighthouse. Exotic materials were placed throughout the residence to include a custom tiger-eye semiprecious countertop at a fully stocked entertaining bar. As you walk through the Bayhouse, you’ll notice the flooring, which is made of Australian spotted gum. In addition, a custom mosaic floor in the breakfast room was incorporated to reflect its coastal surroundings complete with crabs, ships wheel, seaweed, and waves. In the formal powder room, the vanity has attached legs from an old fish aquarium. Original shutters from the structure were salvaged and used for the lighthouse and the son’s bedroom headboard. Antiques were collected over a period of time, which took a total of 6 years. The end result was a unique, one of a kind, waterfront home that will be enjoyed for many years to come.
