HOME REAL ESTATE
Resort-Style Luxury on Maynadier Creek By Lisa J. Gotto
A
grand set of mahogany doors with inset accent windows lead you to the spacious, two-story foyer of this 7,000-square-foot waterfront home in Crownsville. Once inside, the new homeowners will enjoy the benefits of an abundance of natural light streaming in from its many windows offering wraparound views to Maynadier Creek and out toward Round Bay and the Severn River.
There is also a striking custom staircase off the entry that curves its way to the upper level making a statement with every step. Off to the right, a welcoming family room awaits with its central wood-burning fireplace. Gorgeous, chestnut-colored hardwoods flow throughout. Above, the room has a stunning coffered ceiling treatment, below which a wall of windows affords peaceful views of the tree canopy that fall to the waterfront below.
This space flows into a spacious gourmet kitchen with a huge, multi-purpose center island with cooktop, breakfast bar seating for four, and prep sink. This space was definitely designed with more than one cook in mind, with granite countertops that seemingly go on for miles. Lovely custom cabinetry abounds so everything one needs is easily assessible. And, while the home has a separate and luxurious formal dining room, the kitchen’s informal dining area is exquisitely placed within a panoramic wall of windows with eyes to the water. A fabulous outdoor living area—the word, “porch” just doesn’t cut it here—has an attractive stone fireplace wall with gas insert, beadboard ceilings, rustic wood floors, and a nostalgic belt-driven fan, all creating an amazing treehouse effect.
