Resort-Style Luxury on Maynadier Creek

By Lisa J. Gotto

Agrand 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.

The floorplan of this home is remarkably accommodating with excellent situations for working from home, that include a dedicated home office, a library with fireplace, and a loft office space on the upper level of the library.

Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom suite also benefits from a panoramic window effect. Its separate seating area offers a handy coffee bar and cozy, wood-burning fireplace. There’s tons of room for handbags and such in the large, walk-in closet, and the bathroom is every bit as spacious with large separate vanity areas, granite countertops, and a two-person, jetted soaking tub. Radiant heat can be found underfoot.

The home offers three additional bedrooms with their own assorted perks such as water views and a fireplace. An in-home elevator is available for transport to the home’s lower level where a home theater and an all-inclusive home gym experience complete with an indoor endless swimming pool can be found.

Completing our tour, there is an impressive pier complex with more than eight feet of water depth capable of housing a 120foot yacht with additional slips for smaller vessels.
