Waterfront living reaches a new level of sophistication in this contemporary split-level home gracefully set on Broad Creek off South River. Bathed in natural light from soaring vaulted ceilings and walls of expansive windows, the residence effortlessly combines architectural elegance with thoughtful design, offering an atmosphere that is both warm and inspiring. Every space flows seamlessly, inviting you to linger and enjoy the serene surroundings. The property’s private pier and dock provide direct South River access with a lounge area perfect for soaking in sunsets or watching boats drift along the water. With 5 ft mean low water, it’s ideal for boating, paddling, or simply relaxing in a quiet, scenic retreat. Nestled on 1.08 acres at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, the home enjoys unmatched privacy across two combined lots. Wooded surroundings, stone hardscaping, a gently meandering stream, and two charming footbridges create a secluded sanctuary where bird songs accompany daily life. Despite the tranquility, the location remains convenient for commuters. Inside, the kitchen and dining addition is a showstopping centerpiece, crowned with a cathedral ceiling, angled clerestory windows, and skylights that flood the space with sunlight. A sliding glass door opens to the deck with expansive water views, extending the living space outdoors. The chef’s kitchen features granite counters, premium stainless steel appliances, and a central island with a five-burner GE Monogram gas cooktop and a downdraft fan. The adjoining dining area, lined with windows, creates an inviting setting for gatherings or family meals, while an overlook to the living room below maintains an open, connected flow. On the entry level, the primary suite occupies its own wing, a serene retreat featuring a sunroom with three walls of windows framing the peaceful waterfront setting, a study with built-in bookcases, and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The en-suite bath harmonizes luxury and nature, a deep soaking tub, and a bath with tile throughout, capturing a serene, nature-inspired aesthetic. A powder room and a well-placed laundry area complete this level. Just a few steps down from the foyer, the expansive living room unfolds beneath a vaulted, wood-planked ceiling, anchored by a cozy wood-burning stove. Windows along multiple walls frame glimpses of the surrounding scenery, while a sliding glass door opens to the Trex deck, where serene views of the meandering stream, sparkling Broad Creek, and surrounding woods create a captivating backdrop for gatherings both intimate and grand. The first lower level offers a bedroom with a shimmering water view, a full bath, and a versatile home office leading to a workshop with a workbench and exterior access. A few steps further down, a second lower-level suite provides privacy and comfort, complete with a sitting area with built-ins, an attached full bath, and an additional bedroom, perfect for guests or extended family stays. Outdoors, the home continues to impress with multiple decks, a patio tucked beneath the main deck, and built-in storage sheds. A double loop circular driveway provides ample parking, while mature landscaping enhances beauty and privacy. Thoughtful updates ensure modern comfort and peace of mind, including zoned HVAC, a roof replaced in 2016, new front entry and stairs in 2024, and recent replacements of the air conditioning in the kitchen wing, washer, dryer, and dishwasher. Blending architectural brilliance, luxurious amenities, and a breathtaking waterfront setting, this South River home offers a lifestyle defined by elegance, serenity, and unparalleled natural beauty, a rare retreat that is at once private, inspiring, and timeless.
