Move-in ready entertainers dream home perfect for hosting friends and family is waiting for you this summer! Country living near the Chesapeake Bay yet close to shopping, Andrews AFB, Capital Beltway and plenty of marinas. Come see this custom built 5 bedroom, 3-1/2 bath brick colonial on a 1.2 acre corner lot in the established northern Calvert County neighborhood of Lyons Creek Hundred. Walk up the brick walkway and wide curved steps to the stately leaded glass double doors. Once inside you find yourself in a spacious 2-story foyer with tile flooring, a sweeping staircase to the bedroom level and your first glimpse down the center hall (past the 2nd pantry and the updated half bath) through the kitchen to the lush backyard and pool area. But first turn left through the archway into the living room with a bay window (just add cushions to make it a seat), through the French doors, and into your very own ‘corner office’, with views of the wooded side yard and the backyard. Or, instead, turn right through the other archway into the formal dining room with chair railing and wainscoting and another bay window. On your way to the kitchen you’ll have a chance to pass the hallway to the garage where you’ll find the front-loading Whirlpool washer and dryer and 2 storage closets to serve as a mud room/area to hold your ‘stuff’ when you enter the house from the oversize 2 car garage with lots of built-ins. Then walk past your main pantry on your way to the kitchen. Once in the kitchen you’ll be surrounded by custom cherry cabinets that go up to the ceiling, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and a Viking gas cooktop. On the other side of your 2-level 7-foot peninsula is your spacious breakfast room with yet another bay window and French doors that bring you back to the office. But we aren’t done with this level yet – walk out of the kitchen through the wet bar area (with mirrored backsplash, built-in mini fridge, and tons of storage) and into the family room, with soaring ceiling, twin granite-shelved niches that bracket the star of the room – the floor to ceiling brick fireplace with a newer gas insert. Upstairs, off the landing that overlooks the foyer, is the master bedroom with 2 walk-in closets, a dressing/make-up area, and a separate water closet with toilet and tiled step-in shower. There’s also 3 other spacious bedrooms, all with double closets and a large full bathroom with double sinks and tub/shower combo. In the lower level you find yourself in a large area for entertaining, gaming, you name it. You’ll also find another big bedroom, some unfinished storage rooms, lots of closets, and a few more finished rooms that are ready for you to personalize – craft room, toy room, music room, or even a 2nd office! There’s a full bathroom right next to the lower level mud/wet-from-the-pool room where you walk out/up to the backyard and pool. And that backyard! Extensively landscaped, full of color with a stacked stone retaining wall beyond the pool and stacked stone steps that go up to the terraced park-like open space for lawn games (Psst – that’s where you could put the band or DJ for the pool parties!). And right in the middle of all that lushness is the heated 16'x32' gunite pool with programable Hayward superpump and Jenair saltwater system. The 22'x22' Fiberon PVC composite deck with grill bump-out has room for multiple seating areas and is right outside the family room and wet bar. 3 year old roof has a Weather Stopper lifetime transferable warranty for peace of mind. Don’t wait on this one – enjoy this summer in your very own Shangra-La! Already has an invisible fence and underground sprinkling system. 1 finished and 2 unfinished rooms in lower level were not included in 3D tour or floor plan and square foot count.
