948 Old County Rd Severna Park, MD 21146

Looking for a gracious home with spacious sunlit rooms, a lovely pool, and beautiful gardens filled with spring bulbs, roses, and perennial? Make sure to peruse the photos of this offering in Severna Park, which has 5 en-suite BRs/2 half baths/5 fireplaces, and sits on a park-like acre in prestigious Swann Point Estates. A bonus room can easily be converted into a 6th bedroom. The elegant two story entryway opens onto the family room, where a southern exposure wall of windows extends up to the 20’ high ceiling and floods the room with sunlight, while a large fireplace warms you on chilly days. Both the family room and adjacent kitchen overlook the salt water pool and gardens. The kitchen itself is enormous and beautifully appointed for even the most ambitious cook: wine chiller; second refrigerator off the kitchen in addition to the Subzero; large pantry. The formal dining room will seat a dinner party of twelve or a raucous family reunion. The living room, just big enough for an overstuffed sofa and a baby grand, has built-ins and a fireplace. A first-floor office has mahogany custom built-ins and a fireplace. Upstairs are 4 BRs, all en-suite, and the bonus room with a fireplace. The spacious owners’ oasis opens into a sitting room with custom built-ins, as well as a fireplace. In 2018, the sizeable bath was beautifully renovated—highlighting marble and mosaic tile. The walk-in master closet is roomy enough for two to dress in simultaneously without stumbling over one other. Work can be pleasant with an ample laundry room on the second floor, and a smaller one off the kitchen, perfect for all those wet towels after a long day poolside with friends; central vacuum. The screened porch is a wonderful spot to dine mosquito-free in the evenings, or to take in the fireworks of a thunderstorm. The finished basement (walkout, with multiple windows and a fireplace) gives you an additional 3000 sq ft. Off this is a mirrored exercise room and the 5th en-suite BR. 4 car garage is big enough to set aside some space for a workshop. At the back of the property there is a new tree house suspended mid-air around the trunk of a big oak tree with slide and swings, all built by hand. A partial-house generator keeps you lit up and warm/cool during black outs; an electronic Leak Defense system shuts down your water whether you spring a small leak or a geyser. Finally, a landscaper’s dream of an irrigation system, meticulously maintained, keeps the expansive lawns of the property lush, as well as all the poolside and entry pots flowering on drip throughout the season with no effort from you. Impressive, remarkable and tasteful—all the best wrapped up in one big beautiful package.
