1501 Shore Rd Middle River, MD 21220

Exceptional residence commanding over half an acre of pristine waterfront property along Middle River proper, offering 70 feet of direct frontage, breathtaking panoramic views, deep water boating access, over 8,000 finished square feet, and a setting designed for waterfront entertaining. Elevated and well-set back on a large, flat lot facing the water, the property is sited in a protected location among lush, professionally designed landscaping and extensive gardens framing the property, creating a serene backdrop for year-round enjoyment. Thanks to its superior elevation, this property does not require flood insurance. On the water side, a stamped concrete patio and pool deck open to an in-ground, heated saltwater pool with retractable cover. A curved pond with waterfall adds a tranquil focal point. Trex steps descend from the great room to the pool area, while a handsome two-tiered stone retaining wall provides two terraces for entertaining, leading to the waterfront. A pier equipped with a 12,000-pound electric boat lift provides easy deep-water boating access. Inside, an exceptional entertaining layout across three levels is served by a convenient elevator. The slate-floored foyer, illuminated by a dramatic Swarovski crystal chandelier that lowers at the touch of a button, sets a tone of refined elegance. The gourmet kitchen features a massive center island with granite countertops, task lighting, prep sink, butcher-block station, Viking six-burner stove with double ovens, warming drawer, Sub-Zero fridge, separate ice maker, and custom cabinetry. Adjacent is a spacious butler’s pantry, with full prep and storage capacity, including an additional microwave, dishwasher, sink, freezer, and washer/dryer. The great room showcases sweeping Middle River views, with a gas fireplace and double doors that open directly to the patio and pool. Two generous bedroom suites occupy this level, each with their own gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and spacious baths. The upper level is dominated by a breathtaking primary suite that encompasses most of the upper level, delivering stunning river views. The bedroom area features a spacious sitting area with gas fireplace, exceptional closet space, and retractable hurricane-grade shutters for complete blackout privacy or storm protection. A private balcony runs along the back of the house, with beautiful views and a hot tub. The open-concept bath area includes a soaking tub, separate water closet, wall safe, and bonus space ideal for an office, gym, or nursery, complete with its own laundry & wet bar. A 4th large bedroom suite with a private bath is also upstairs. The lower level offers an in-law or au pair suite - ideal for multigenerational living - with direct walk-out access to the pool and backyard. It features two spacious bedrooms, each with generous closets, a full kitchen, a massive great room with a gas fireplace and French doors to the exterior, and full bath. Major systems include a three-zone HVAC system (replaced in 2021, 2021 & 2018), two water heaters (2021 & 2023), whole-house generator, Loewen windows, Kohler fixtures, and 5 gas fireplaces.
