MLS# MDAA2079970 – 1864 Milvale Road, Annapolis, MD 21409

Resting on top of spectacular hillside peninsula off Mill Creek sits 1864 Milvale, a triumph of design and craftsmanship. This home sitting on 1.34 acres was designed by Vince Greene AIA, and built by Lynbrook Homes of Annapolis in 2013. It is a true yachtsman’s retreat that boasts a 4 slip pier with a 10,000 lb. boat lift and 2 jet ski lifts on 8-10 ft of MLW that was home to the seller’s 65′ motor yacht and additional watercraft. The western positioning of the home site allows for 360-degree views of both the water and the pastoral fields nearby, thus allowing for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The gradual professionally landscaped and irrigated slope to the water provides many entertaining areas including a designated dining area with a propane fire pit for friendly gatherings. A waterside pool permit and design has recently been obtained for the home and conveys to the new owners. Blending both modern and traditional elements this light-filled home was designed to be both a cozy empty nester’s retreat and also provide multiple spaces for all the seller’s friends and family when they visit. The home has been meticulously maintained by the builder and is easy to lock and leave for seasonal periods of time or while traveling. Some of the features of the home starting with the exterior is the courtyard entrance with its pool and sculptural fountain. Materials were chosen to age well over time such as hand-picked stone and stucco sheathed walls, huge corner windows were separated by cement board and overhangs of roof soffits were added in mahogany and oversized galvanized steel gutters were chosen to blend in with the stone. The interior features a 2 story foyer with marble floors and cherry paneled walls. Custom cherry furniture coat closets were added to look like wardrobes. A handsome artful chandelier is invisibly suspended within the foyer tower. Nearby is a floating cantilevered stairwell with custom wrought iron balustrades leading to both the upstairs and the lower level. 6X2 Stained white oak flooring runs throughout the main and upper levels. The lower level and primary bath have heated tiled flooring. Massive floor-to-ceiling windows showcase the water views in the living room, dining room and sunroom. Most windows have automatic shades to follow the sun and ghost screens to allow summer breezes. The open floor plan incorporates a double-faced gas fireplace separating the living room and sunroom. A step-down dining area with a stunning chandelier allows for water views while cooking from the kitchen. The gourmet kitchen is comprised of furniture-grade custom cabinetry from Hagerstown Cabinets, granite countertops and back splash, Wolf appliances including a wall oven plus 2 Asko dishwashers. Off of the kitchen is a butler’s pantry for catering and extra storage. A back stairway leads to the separate and private 2nd level bunk room and family room ensuite, great for when friends and family visit. A professional Inclinator elevator can carry 3 to 4 people to all 3 levels. The primary ensuite bedroom is on the upper level and has sweeping views of the Creek while the primary bath and the office both have huge corner windows as well allowing for views both up and down the creek. A 3rd guest room ensuite is located down from the bunk room. The lower level is a wide open area with a built-in bar, gas fireplace, and 4th bedroom ensuite with room for a wine cellar. The home’s systems include an energy-saving Geothermal system for heating and cooling, propane for cooking and fireplaces, and a 50 KW Whole House Generator. For tennis enthusiasts, there is an additional lot across the road attached to the property that is great for pickle ball, volleyball, croquet, and party parking for family gatherings and special events.
