Welcome home! The sunrises are amazing and the sunsets are inspirational in this five bedroom, architect-designed, two-level colonial that sits nestled in privacy along Lyons Creek and the Patuxent River amid 5.8 acres of woodlands and waterfront. Includes a private pier/dock with a boat lift as well as community boat dock. Massive kitchen and living room with multiple attached porches and patios are perfect for entertaining. Three of the Five bedrooms (including the large downstairs owners’ suite & 2 west-facing bedrooms upstairs), have open views of Lyons Creek and the Patuxent River. Check out the upper and lower verandahs perfect for contemplative morning coffee times or evening reading with a glass of award wining wine. House is much larger and still has second areas that could be turned into additional living space. The upstairs bedrooms each come with walk-in closets, private entries to the covered verandah, and a jack-and-jill bathroom. The third upstairs bedroom is east-facing and spacious with an extra large walk-in closet, and an even larger adjacent unfinished attic space that has many potential uses. The downstairs guest bedroom is east-facing and adjacent to a large, well-lit rec room with wood-burning stove and private entry. It also has direct access to a full-size bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. This guest bedroom can alternatively be used as a downstairs private office. The modern kitchen is well-equipped with spacious granite countertops, a 6-burner Viking gas stovetop, Wolf multi-function full-size oven, built-in CAFÉ Advantium microwave & convection oven, Kenmore dishwasher, abundant oak cabinetry and floors throughout, built-in kitchen desk, and a large refrigerator that blends seamlessly with the wooden cabinetry. The house is designed with gatherings in mind, and the open-plan, eat-in-kitchen, and adjacent living area share an awesome 2-sided fireplace (originally woodburning, converted to gas). The downstairs owners’ suite includes a large bedroom, two walk-in closets, and an adjacent bathroom suite with heated stone tile floors, a soaking tub with waterfront views, a stone tile shower, individual his and her sinks, and a privacy closet with toilet and a separate sink. An additional ‘hobby room’ provides a 2nd refrigerator and additional cabinets and countertop spaces, as well as a built-in ironing board, for crafting and storage. This room adjoins the spacious laundry room next door which has additional storage cabinets. Beyond the laundry room, there is an additional climate-controlled storage room for cleaning and maintenance supplies. For vehicles and additional storage, there is a detached 3-car garage with an open upstairs loft space. The garage includes an attached fully-enclosed garden shed on one side, and an attached carport on the other. The Patuxent Palisades neighborhood is a highly desirable community. The neighborhood amenities include a shared park wit
