Property size: 6,700-square-foot home has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and one half-bathroom, and a two-car detached garage. The 1.9-acre lot includes 70 feet of waterfrontage, a pier and a boat lift.
Unique features: Even in January, the views of the Magothy River can take visitors’ breaths away. This elegant modern house is perched on top of a hill, and ample windows look out on a professionally landscaped yard descending in gradual steps to the water’s edge. The yard is set off with a stacked stone wall and riprapped shoreline. A large patio includes a built-in barbecue, two fire pits, an outdoor bar, a lighting system, an outdoor sprinkler system, a new well pump and HVAC systems.
The house is a series of rectangles punctuated with windows, with an open floor plan to let in the light. Standout design elements include a dramatic, multiple-story foyer, hardwood floors, a sweeping wood and metal stairway, and open secondfloor hallways that emit a loft-like vibe.
The owners love mosaic tile, and it’s everywhere and in all colors: green around the living room fireplace, a cobalt blue for a shower and around the soaking tub, red on the walls and floor of another bathroom and embedded into the floors.
The detached garage can double as a workshop, artist’s studio or home gym. Views of the river or of the greenery surrounding this home are everywhere, including in the main suite’s extra-large walk-in closet.
