About This Home
As of June 2025** VERY RARE WATERFRONT PROPERTY ALERT!!** Prime Location - Custom-built waterfront home tucked away at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in one of Baltimore County’s most cherished coastal communities; Bowleys Quarters, MD . Water views from the front, back, and side yards, this home is a RARE opportunity to own a slice of waterfront paradise—and experience a true nautical lifestyle like no other.
Owning this home is more than just a real estate investment—it’s an invitation into a lifestyle defined by the water. Start your mornings with coffee on the wrap-around porch as the sun rises over glassy bay view. Watch great blue herons, bald eagles, and ospreys glide above the water from nearly every window in the home. Peaceful evenings as boats drift past and the sky explodes into color during breathtaking sunsets. From fishing off your private dock to watching fireworks reflect on the water, this home places you in the front row of Chesapeake magic. The dock is fully equipped with electric, water, and a boat lift—so you're always just minutes away from the open Bay or the nearby Bowleys Quarters Marina, which is ideal for refueling, waterfront dining, and spontaneous adventures. The concaved concrete bulkhead is one of the best you’ll find—engineered for durability and built to last.
Inside, every square foot has been thoughtfully curated. Floor-to-ceiling sliders draw the outdoors in, creating an effortless flow between indoor luxury and outdoor splendor. Whether you're in the living room, kitchen, or any of the water-view bedrooms, you're always connected to the peaceful rhythm of the tide. The owner’s suite is a personal retreat, complete with bathroom heated floors and awe-inspiring water views that make every morning feel like a vacation. The home features custom-built window treatments, multiple covered porches on all levels, exterior elevator, three separate HVAC zones (including a brand-new unit installed in 2025), two full laundry rooms with utility sinks, an instant hot water system, abundant driveway parking, a private garage, and a spacious shed for additional storage.
This location offers a front-row seat to everything Maryland waterfront life has to offer—fishing, boating, wildlife watching, fireworks, and peaceful seclusion—all just minutes from key amenities. Whether it’s launching a kayak in the morning, grilling on the deck in the afternoon, or enjoying a moonlit evening by the water, this home will capture your heart every single day.
This is more than a home—it’s a coastal lifestyle. 1602 Holly Tree Rd is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to live surrounded by beauty, nature, and the comfort of luxury amenities. Properties like this very rarely come to market—and they don’t stay long. Schedule your private showing today and prepare to fall in love with this truly magical waterfront treasure.
