THE CROWN JEWEL OF BAY AVENUE: A Modernized 3.5-Lot Legacy Estate overlooking the Chesapeake Bay and Cape Charles beach. Experience "Bayholme," a 1914 brick masterpiece that stands as the most significant residential offering in the history of Cape Charles. Situated on an unprecedented 3.5 lotsânearly double the land of neighboring estatesâthis property offers a level of privacy, scale, and modern infrastructure that is simply impossible to replicate. A MASTERCLASS IN HISTORIC LUXURY From the iconic columnsârestored with custom mahogany bases (2017)âto the 900+ sq. ft. wrap-around porch, Bayholme commands attention. Inside, 10.5-foot ceilings, original pocket doors, and a grand foyer staircase anchor the home. The main level features a forward-thinking open flow designed for grand-scale entertaining, featuring a formal dining room, cocktail lounge with gas fireplace, a designer guest powder room, and a sun-drenched family room. Architectural integrity is preserved with a slate roof, copper gutters, and updated double-pane windows. CHEF'S KITCHEN & HOSPITALITY PANTRY Reimagined for the modern host (2023-2025), the kitchen features Quartz counters, floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, a 42" SubZero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher. The 2023 Hospitality Pantry features black marble, a large sink, custom cabinetry, and wine refrigeration. Off the kitchen, a cozy back porch leads to the fenced-in backyard, creating a seamless transition to the outdoor oasis. THE SECOND LEVEL & SPA-PRIMARY SUITE The second floor features five generous bedrooms and the home's second private balcony overlooking the Bay. The Primary Suite is a true sanctuary, featuring custom built-ins and a decorative original fireplace. The 2018 Primary Spa renovation is a masterpiece of design, offering heated floors and shower seating, an ADA-compliant shower with spray system, a freestanding soaking tub, custom cabinetry, and a premium Toto heated bidet. THE PENTHOUSE SANCTUARY (3RD FLOOR) The entire 3rd floor is a 5-star destination featuring a high-end home theater (2023 system), a full kitchenette, gym/office, and a full bath with a Jacuzzi. This level maximizes guest capacity with custom window-seat beds and leads to the highest private balcony on Bay Avenue for unobstructed sunset views. SUPERIOR INFRASTRUCTURE & PEACE OF MIND ELECTRICAL: Heavily updated with modern Romex wiring in all high-load areas (Kitchen, 3rd Floor, Primary Suite, and Garage). HVAC: 3 high-capacity heat pumps (1st floor NEW July 2025) plus a NEW 2026 propane furnace. MASSIVE BASEMENT: One of the home's greatest assets is the expansive, full-footprint basement. Comprising four large rooms with professional storage shelving, it is a storage powerhouse. The basement is equipped with dual sump pumps and a dedicated dehumidifier for total peace of mind. A service stairwell off the pantry leads to a direct-access door to the backyard, creating a perfect "mudroom flow" for beach gear and pets. ESTATE GROUNDS, PARKING & OUTDOOR OASIS Directly across from the beach, the 3.5-lot grounds feature a comprehensive exterior French drain system. The estate includes a private well and Rain Bird irrigation for curated native gardens. The private backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring brick patios, an Ipe deck, and a luxury outdoor shower with hot/cold water. Storage and parking are unrivaled: an epic 10+ vehicle driveway leads to a detached 2-car garage with rear alley access for golf cart, a massive 10'x20' workshop/kayak storage, and a hard-wired Tesla Charger.
