For sale: Impressive waterfront home in Middle River

If waterfront living is calling your name, this one-of-a-kind home is the answer. Perched above Middle River, the home offers 70 feet of direct frontage, beautiful water views and deep-water boating access.

Inside, the home is light, bright and inviting. The main living space on the first floor has an open-concept floor plan and is located at the back of the house to maximize waterfront views. There’s a living area with a gas fireplace (the home has a total of five gas fireplaces throughout), a large dining area and a gourmet kitchen. This central space features a massive center island, top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinetry. A tucked-away butler’s pantry has a surprising amount of space, including a second dishwasher, freezer and laundry. Off the kitchen is a breakfast nook with an additional sitting area giving direct access to the backyard.

The six bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms are spread across three levels, all easily accessible by an elevator. Two bedroom suites are located on the main level, while a spacious primary suite is located upstairs, along with one more bedroom. Taking up almost the entire second level, the primary space offers commanding views of the water, with private access to an expansive balcony with a hot tub. The room itself is massive and open, with a sitting area and gas fireplace, bedroom area and unique bathroom. Vaulted ceilings and large windows overlook the water. A large walk-in closet and second laundry room complete the suite.

The lower level is well-suited for multi-generational living or as an au-pair suite. The space has a large recreation room with a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a full bath. It has walk-out access to the backyard.

Of course, you’ll likely want to spend most of your time outside, enjoying the water views and direct water access. A heated saltwater pool with a retractable cover and a large surrounding patio and pool deck make that easy. There’s also a tranquil pond to enjoy, and a balcony above off the primary suite.

Step down to the water to a pier with a 12,000-pound electric boat lift, making deep-water boating easy and convenient. Because of the home’s elevation, flood insurance is not required.

At the front of the house, enjoy lush landscaping, a large driveway and a detached two-car garage.

Located in Wilson Point, the home is about 30 minutes from downtown Baltimore.
