Severna Park Waterfront Gem – A Boater’s Deep-Water Paradise: Stunning waterfront, contemporary, custom-built home in Severna Park with panoramic views, deep-water private dock, and pool in the sought-after Manhattan Beach community. This unique property was completely rebuilt from top to bottom in 2013. The owners, both engineers, wanted an energy efficient and green residence that would meet higher standards than conventional construction. Their goal was to achieve a solid, healthier, more resource-efficient and cost-effective waterfront home. Architect Teresa Todd and builder Perry Bonner from Delta Building Corp. captured their dream.
This 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 5,339 square foot gem boasts water views from almost every area. The .25-acre property is nestled on Cypress Creek that feeds into the Magothy River, a tidal sub-estuary of the Chesapeake Bay. The deep water (5ft MLW) 55 feet private dock with 3-boat lifts and mooring whips are perfect for the boating enthusiast. Water activities at your footstep include power boating, sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, rafting, swimming, fishing, crabbing and endless others. This is also a wonderful home for entertaining; open-floor layout, outside deck with water views, pool with Tiki Bar, and an additional “catering” kitchen with direct access to patio. This is the perfect waterfront lifestyle.
This modern home has three levels. When you enter the elegant foyer there is a beautiful marble tile with geometric inlay, high ceilings and immediate water views. The main level has an open-layout floor plan and is all with hardwood floors. Also, a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and bay windows, a hard find as most properties do not have bedrooms on a main level. The kitchen, living and dining areas have floor to ceiling Anderson windows so you can enjoy the breathtaking water views. The state-of-the-art kitchen, which is between the open living and dining areas, creates a symmetry and balance between those two spaces. The gourmet kitchen which is equipped with a Thermador 48” six gas burner/griddle cooktop among other stainless-steel appliances, has a mosaic backsplash, a large island all with granite countertops, and a breakfast bar with pendant lighting and seating for at least 6-people. Behind the breakfast bar there is an alcove with bay windows and a stunning wood floor medallion compass rose inlay. This medallion creates a focal point that gives flow and continuity between the living and dining rooms. The living room has a gas fireplace and direct access to the outdoor, low maintenance, aluminum deck. The dining room also has access to the outside deck and butler pantry. You can also enter the main level directly through the oversized 2-car garage with door access into the tile floor mud room.
The upper level, mostly with hardwood floors, features a primary bedroom with ensuite spa-like bathroom, 2-bedrooms with jack and Jill bathroom and a large laundry room with utility/mop sink and under counter storage cabinets. The stunning primary suite has water views, vaulted ceilings, and ample walk-in-closet with island. The lower level consists of a large family/recreation room with a fully equipped kitchen. Through this area you can enter the patio that has electric heaters and access to the pool and dock. Also, 2 additional bedrooms which are currently used as home office and fitness room. Other rooms include fully equipped workshop, “water toys” storage with roll-up door, utility, and a wine cellar. This Severna Park waterfront gem is part of the desirable Manhattan Beach community which has access to several beaches, a boat ramp, and a clubhouse. Blue Ribbon Schools and the Baltimore-Annapolis bike trail, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and bus transportations. This Boater’s Deep-Water Paradise is a short distance to Annapolis (18-miles), the Eastern Shore (25-miles), Baltimore (39-miles) and Washington DC (60 miles).
