Experience the Chesapeake Bay waters from your very own front row seat at Murphy Point on the Chesapeake! Watch dolphins, turtles, sea rays, crabs and gamefish forage for food on one side, and waterfowl prowl the shallow side. Surrounded by water on three sides, the living area is 1300 sq feet with an indoor walk up/utility area on the first floor. The layout is open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living room facing the Chesapeake with stunning views out the large atrium doors. This property offers a 2nd level wrap around deck with water views on 3 sides. Fish feed on the surface before your eyes. Crab or fish from the property. A birder’s paradise—adjacent to marshes, and tidal pools lee-side of the property. Regular residents include diving ducks and dabblers, egrets, blue heron, sea gulls, gannets & terns. Osprey nest within sight and a bald eagle visits late afternoons. Launch the kayaks from the private beach and paddle to attractions north and south. Take a swim or float in the shallow 4-foot water next to the property, or sit on the deck and watch ships roll down the channel.

Meet The Host
Patrick And Annie
Owner
The Murphy Property was established in 1979. Patrick Murphy and and his sister Annie carry the legacy from their father, James Michael 'Mike' Murphy. Mike Murphy designed the Smithsonian American History Museum and oversaw construction & maintenance of many Smithsonian buildings in DC for over 20 years before retiring at the house in North Beach to conduct oyster research under grants from Univ. of MD and Univ. of NC. During World War II, he worked as a physicist on the Manhattan project at Los Alamos. In 1986, he designed/engineered the building to withstand hurricane force winds with a 12-telephone pole foundation driven 34 feet into the ground. A category 4 hurricane (Isabel) has since passed in 2003 without disturbing the solid construction. He also engineered the tidal pool in the rear of the property to attract wildlife and serve as a boat launch. Patrick Murphy is an avid fisherman and retired small businessman. Annie Roberts is a health care provider.
