PLANTING AND MAINTAINING:

By Lisa J. Gotto

The new owners of this coastal-style, three-bedroom charmer on Bodkin Creek will just love their location, location, location—with its quick, 15-minute access to the Chesapeake Bay.

Tucked into a boat-centric community in Pasadena, this home offers more than 2,000 square feet of living space and everything a family that loves waterfront living could want. Every inch of the main level floorplan is expertly designed to provide maximum Creek views and high-end interior choices and finishes can be found throughout.

Walking into the home’s main living area is a real treat for the eye with its elevated vaulted ceiling of stained knotty wood bead boarding and trusses. Three large picture windows with sidelight windows pull the eye to the stellar water view across to the opposite side of the creek. Gorgeous, richly-toned hardwood floors and a textured wall of stacked stone—which offers advantageous sightlines to the water through a generous pass through—make the space warm and inviting.

From here it’s just a step up into the home’s dining room and kitchen. Over the years the home has been smartly updated and provides wide entry access to the dining room from the kitchen and from the living area to the dining room. The kitchen offers another vaulted ceiling with beadboard and skylights, the continuation of those lovely hardwood floors, a center island breakfast area, and an all stainless-steel appliance package. The spacious dining room easily seats six and offers clear sightlines to the water.

On this level, the new homeowners will also enjoy the convenience of a main level laundry and a main bedroom suite with full bath. The suite is light and bright, and offers a knotty wood accent wall, a large sliding barn door closet with deep-shelf storage, and an attractive en suite bath with a granite vanity and large shower. The bedroom also offers access to an upper-tier study, perfect for that out-of-the-way, working from home space. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the home’s lower level.

“What made this home so special was the combination of the large living room overlooking the water and the expansive waterside decking,” explains Listing Agent, Reid Buckley. “The primary bedroom and bath are on the main level—also a plus for today’s buyers.”

Back upstairs, the home’s main level living area opens to the gorgeous view and the property’s outdoor, waterside living environment with a seating and barbecue grilling area perfect for entertaining. A shed on the water’s edge offers a convenient place to store all the family’s water accessories, and the property’s private pier provides two slips and six feet of mean low water, that makes getting out to that Bay even easier.
