976 Arden View Place Crownsville, MD 21032

Spectacular, panoramic sunrise AND sunset views of the Severn River from 976 Arden View Place -- a striking home on a point of land with 560 feet of waterfrontage! Facing Bluff Point, this incredibly private setting of 1.25 acres includes a three-bedroom home, separate pool house (with full bath), screened cabana for outside dining, a pool, and a pier. The 100 ft private, multiple-slip dock has 12+ ft water depth and two boat lifts. The covered slip measures 85 ft -- WOW!

The inside of the home is as exciting as the pier. The open floor-plan and cathedral ceiling mean there are waterviews from all rooms. As you walk in, there is a spacious living room with fireplace and three sets of glass sliding doors. At the ceiling height, there is an open loft which is currently used as a home office though it also makes a wonderful library. The ktichen was just expanded and remodeled a couple of years ago and has gorgeous granite counters, bleached maple cabinets and a ceramic tile floor. Currently, the dining area is part of the living room, though there is a separate room that could be a formal dining room; it is used now as a family room. There are maple floors in these public rooms.

In one wing of the home, there is a bedroom, with sliding doors to the waterside, and a bathroom that was beautifully remodeled three years ago. The other side of the home -- up a few steps -- has the master suite. There is a bedroom, facing the Severn River of course, that opens to a deck with a hot tub. There is also a master bathroom (redone three years ago) that has two vanities, and several "California" closets. Other rooms on the main level include a large mud room and a separate laundry room. Downstairs, there is a two-car garage and third bedroom. Because of the slope of the land, this third bedroom also has waterviews and outside access.

The pool house and screened cabana offer total privacy for the pool. The cabana is a great place to eat outside with a view. The pool house has a bathroom, comfortable sitting area, and kitchenette. There's a brand new heat pump in the pool house, and new automatic pool cover. A paver patio wraps around the pool and leads to a series of decks to the water. As of March, 2011, there is a new well and new nitrogen-reducing septic system: these improvements were required before any additions could be made to the home. There are county-approved permits to enlarge the home with a media room.
