Located in the gated community of Epping Forest, this nearly 3,000-square-foot home feels like you’re living in a forest fairytale with a collection of unique features, plus all the tranquil views and perks of living on the Severn River near Annapolis.
The original structure was built in 1927 so it has sound bones, and a solid offering of modern-day amenities. It’s a treat walking into the home from its wraparound front deck that offers separate areas for dining, grilling, and gathering. A set of French doors welcomes visitors to the home’s spacious open-plan living space offering plenty of natural light and warmth from its rustic knotty pine floors.
A large, center island with gas cooktop and breakfast seating for four makes a statement in the contemporary, all-white country kitchen. Outfitted with a high-end stainless steel appliance package, the kitchen also boasts large windows with views out to the treetops, an apron sink, and miles of additional countertop prep space. Above, a weighty wood beam provides rustic ambiance.
The kitchen flows past a gracious, informal dining area with banquette seating along one wall and into an inviting family room with a charming wood-burning stove and bead board ceiling with recessed lighting. Two walls of windows here flood the space with light. A glass front door leads guests to one of the home’s landscaped patio areas with its rustic slate walking path.
To the left of the open-plan entry area is the home’s more formal living space with its gorgeous stone-front fireplace with thick, wood mantel. A set of glass sliders lead guests to the dining area of the wraparound deck.
Across the hall from the living room there’s plenty of space to work from home with a large, dedicated office concealed by an attractive sliding wood barn door. This room can also serve the purpose of the home’s fourth bedroom. An adjacent area outside the doors provides plenty of expanded office space, as well. The main floor of the home also offers a full bath.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers the perfect woodsy retreat from the day with its gorgeous, stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, a rustic, screened-in balcony, and a newly remodeled bathroom with Italian tile and an opulent, glass, three-sided shower feature.
The entire upper level has newly installed multi-tonal oak wood floors that flow into the additional two bedrooms on this floor. One offers a spacious twin suite, and the other has a charming loft feature capable of holding a double futon for extra sleeping quarters.
The home’s location within the development of Epping Forest offers a plethora of community perks such as a private sandy beach area, clubhouse, hiking trails, tennis and pickle ball courts, as well as a marina and exclusive access to the Severn.
