Tucked away off a private, tree-lined driveway in the charming neighborhood of North River Forest, this custom-built beauty on almost 2 acres is the one you've been waiting for! A lush lawn with professional landscaping and flagstone hardscaping welcomes you inside. Gleaming hickory hardwood floors grace the main level, an open-concept design perfect for everyday living or entertaining. A large, granite center island anchors the updated kitchen and is adjacent to the fabulous step-down family room. Light-filled and spacious, this room is the epicenter of the home. The vaulted ceiling and windows give it an airy feel, the wood-burning fireplace makes it cozy, and a sliding glass door leads to the tiered back deck, complete with a hot tub to enjoy at the end of your day. The main level also features formal living and dining rooms, a full bath, a much-desired main level bedroom, and an oversized mudroom/laundry room just off the 2-car garage. A contemporary floating hardwood staircase leads to the upper level. The primary suite is generously sized with luxe details such as access to a private sundeck, a deep walk-in closet with barn door entrance, and an attached bath with a heated floor, skylight, and jetted tub. There are 2 additional bedrooms on this level, as well as a beautifully renovated hall bath. Host the most amazing parties in the walkout lower level, complete with a game room, recreation room, and an entertaining kitchen in between. There is also an additional full bath and tons of storage space. Outside, enjoy the expansive and secluded grounds featuring an extra-large screened-in porch, fire pit, huge side yard, and more. The cherry on top of the sundae is the amazing detached 2-car garage with even more parking/workspace options. Private, yet inviting, this home is like no other - all just minutes to Historic Downtown Annapolis, Navy stadium, commuter routes, and the water. Come see this gorgeous home today!
