About 10703 Piney Island Dr
Custom brick-front contemporary on 1.43 wooded acres in Piney Island, one of Bishopville's most sought-after neighborhoods: a quiet, established community of custom homes on large wooded lots, most of them on the water, tucked well off Route 113 with bay views at the end of the street. Minutes from the Delaware line and about 15 minutes to Ocean City. Roughly 6,300 finished square feet on three levels: 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 1 half bath, a main-level primary suite, an oversized 3-car garage, an in-ground pool with automatic pool cover, and something almost nobody on the Lower Shore has, a full finished sep-out basement. The two-story foyer opens to a formal dining room with wainscoting and plantation shutters. The kitchen has cherry cabinetry, granite counters, a center island with propane gas cooktop, double wall ovens, stainless appliances, and bar seating, and flows into a sunlit breakfast room with a bay of windows over the pool. The two-story great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace framed by arched windows, with built-ins and an overlook from the upper landing. The main-level primary suite has a remodeled bath with a freestanding soaking tub, frameless glass shower, double granite vanity, and a fully built-out step-in closet, with a second bedroom also on the main level. Upstairs are three more bedrooms and two full baths. A large additional room over the garage, reached by its own staircase off the laundry room, works as an office, sixth bedroom, or playroom. The main-level laundry room is a proper workroom: oversized washer and dryer new in 2022, long folding counters, plenty of cabinets, and a plumbing rough-in ready for a utility sink. The lower level is the party floor: fully finished, metallic epoxy floors, a full wet bar with refrigerator and dishwasher, full bath, an additional room for guests or crafts, and wide-open space for a game room, gym, or theater, with sliders straight out to the pool. Basements are rare here because of the water table, and this one is dry, bright, and finished end to end. The 3-car garage is a showpiece in its own right: epoxy flake floor in Maryland-flag colors, new doors and wall-mounted openers, upgraded lighting, finished and painted walls and ceiling, built-in cabinets, and a side entry. Room for the weekend car and the daily drivers, and for the hobbyist, a laser engraver in the workshop corner that can convey with the house. Outside, a covered paver patio with curtains sits under the rear deck and opens to the fenced pool with new paver surround, plumbed for a propane heater, all backed by mature woods for privacy. Three geothermal heat pumps, well with softener, septic, 200-amp service, irrigation system, propane for the cooktop, and a 2022 80-gallon water heater. Flood zone X, no HOA.
