Situated where the Patuxent River meets St. Leonard Creek, this serene 8.21-acre waterfront retreat offers exceptional privacy, sweeping views, and a timeless home rich in character and history. Built in 1907 and lovingly maintained by the same family since 1935, this four-bedroom, three-bath residence blends timeless character with comfortable living. A welcoming grand foyer opens to an expansive Living room and an elegant Dining room featuring built-in cabinetry and gleaming hardwood floors that extend throughout the home. The bright, open kitchen is equipped with newer stainless-steel appliances and flows seamlessly into a casual Dining and Family gathering area. Custom built-ins provide dedicated desk and computer space, while a nearby laundry area and secondary staircase add everyday convenience. A spacious half bath completes the main level. Generous room sizes and graceful flow make the home ideal for entertaining—having hosted weddings, receptions, holiday celebrations, and countless gatherings where guests enjoyed the peaceful setting and remarkable water views. Upstairs, a striking staircase leads to four bedrooms and two full baths. The Primary Bedroom offers beautiful river frontage views. A large open area with commanding views of the Patuxent River offers the perfect space for relaxation, or the opportunity to expand the existing Primary Bedroom, creating a luxurious suite. A wide staircase provides easy access to the attic for additional storage. Three additional bedrooms and a second staircase complete the upper level. The riverfront wrap around screened porch creates an inviting setting for dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding while enjoying cool breezes and breathtaking sunsets. Panoramic views from the river bank stretch from the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge to Broomes Island, offering an ever-changing waterfront backdrop. Approximately 380 feet of shoreline extend along the Patuxent River into the mouth of St. Leonard Creek, known for its excellent sailboat anchorage. History enthusiasts will appreciate that the largest naval battle fought in Maryland during the War of 1812 occurred just off this shoreline. The property’s waterfront also reveals abundant marine fossils along the water’s edge. This private eight-plus-acre retreat adjoins the neighbors over 20 acres of protected farmland, enhancing the sense of seclusion and natural beauty. The original owners were avid gardeners, and many of their plantings remain part of the landscape today—including magnificent Southern magnolias planted around 1936, along with black walnut, holly, weeping cherry, and hemlock trees—creating a truly picturesque and enduring setting. Point of interest---Home to the second largest Atlas Cedar tree in Maryland!! Additional features include a detached three-car garage, a gardening shed, and the freedom of no HOA or restrictive covenants. Modern updates enhance efficiency and peace of mind, including a four-zone geothermal heating and cooling system, a new roof installed in 2023 with CertainTeed architectural shingles (limited lifetime transferable warranty), fresh paint and recently refinished hardwood floors by Wells Flooring. Properties offering this combination of premier waterfront location, significant acreage, rich history, and meticulous care are exceedingly rare. This is a truly special opportunity for a discerning buyer seeking something extraordinary. Property lot lines as seen in photos are approximate.
