"And though home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit answered to, in strongest conjuration." Charles Dickens. This home is not just strong, it is stunning. When you walk through the mahogany-and-glass front door into the wood-paneled, porcelain-tiled two-story entrance foyer and see the spectacular waterfront views of the Bay and Ocean City beyond the wall of windows of the great room, you know immediately you are in the midst of luxury. The house was custom-designed and built by the owners for efficient living and supreme comfort, while providing wonderful high-end finishes and architectural detailing throughout. From the great room with 22-foot ceilings, marble fireplace and convenient wet bar, the space flows openly into the octagonal kitchen, the true hub of the home's living space. The high-end features of this kitchen are almost endless: solid cherry cabinets with granite counter tops; a GE Cafe professional gas cooktop and Abbaka range hood that was made in Denmark; Double appliances throughout, including two refrigerators, two sinks, two dishwashers, two wall ovens, two warming drawers; and there s a built-in under-the-counter ice maker! The flow continues past this incredible kitchen to a family room area with a double sided gas fireplace seen from the decks casual eating table space with panoramic views. But there s so much more to the first floor, including: a formal dining room, an adjoining 500-bottle, temperature-controlled wine room; a butler's pantry for convenient dinner service prep; a wood-paneled library/media room with Murphy wall bed and adjoining full bathroom; a huge bedroom suite with water views, a walk-in closet and its own large en-suite bath; three covered porches, one of which houses a complete kitchen with grill for outdoor living; and a generous 3-car garage. The second floor is no less well-appointed than the first! Of course, the centerpiece of this level is the opulent owner's suite, which features a floating king-sized bed that fully takes advantage of the 180-degree water views from the bedroom. There s a custom-built armoire which conceals a wet bar and refrigerator. A 2-way gas fireplace warms both this room and the master bath, which has a giant walk-in shower, soaking tub and more of those gorgeous waterfront views. Adjoined to the master suite via an octagonal foyer is a home gym, office and another bathroom. If that weren't enough for this special home, the other side of the second level contains a full in-law apartment, complete with its own kitchen and living/dining space!
