A life best-lived and sublimely serene awaits the new owners of the 7,400-square-foot property properly located on a 3.45-acre peninsula with 700 feet of pure shoreline. Exquisite views, a meticulous landscape, and understated luxury at every turn creates this property’s “Can’t think of a reason-to-leave” vibe.
Built in 1979, this incredible estate-like residence has been expertly upgraded to add extra accommodations for guests, and square footage and embellishments for entertaining and to enhance its wow factor.
Stunning first impressions are made clear upon entry to this coastal traditional home’s expansive and light-filled open floorplan. A gorgeous foyer is accented with a handsome Palladian window feature above the front door. Sightlines through the formal living space and out to the magnificent view of the Wye River transports guests to this private paradise bordered by wetlands.
A tasteful, neutral palette enhances the soaring architectural element of the cathedral ceiling in the living room. Crisp white walls are enhanced with board and baton detail in this space which includes a floor-to-ceiling feature fireplace wall, handsome backlit built-ins, and gleaming, wide-format tile floors.
This room transitions into the main level’s enormous great room with its dramatic high ceiling detail, and its clean, bright, and all-white central kitchen with all stainless-steel appliances and a spacious island that seats six. The counter surfaces and backsplashes in this room are all fashioned from luxurious marble. The space flows into a large, family seating area on one side and there’s a separate informal dining area that offers incredible views of the water.
There’s seamless entry to the residence’s screened circular porch, which is perfect for dining al fresco, and its outdoor living area features a lovely pergola and great views to the meticulously landscaped grounds with enchanting plantings and flowerbeds. The patio includes an exquisite in-ground pool and lounge area, which is also accessible via the home’s first of two primary suites; one of which is located on the main level.
This spacious suite overlooks the water and provides the ultimate retreat with its expansive river views and cozy fireplace. An impeccable spa-like bath beckons relaxation with its modern, gleaming finishes, large soaking tub with waterfall faucet, and large, glass shower with waterfront views. A relaxing hot tub is also easily accessible from this room from the private deck off the primary suite.
The main level also boasts a gorgeous, water-facing home office and full-bath that provides easy access for guests enjoying the pool.
A second primary suite is located on the upper level with its own private waterside deck and a deluxe full bathroom. This upstairs suite also features several additional rooms that would provide perfect future accommodations for an exercise room, a second office, or a nursery.
Additional guests will be well-hosted in residence’s fully updated in-law suite above the garage. This stylish space includes a living room, a full kitchen with an island, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and a bunk room.
With all this extra space, a totally tricked out game room on the main level, and access to its own private pier and boat slips, it’s no wonder that this home is exuding those “Can’t think of a reason to leave” vibes.
