Description
MELVIN ROAD WATERFRONT ESTATE! A winding, tree-canopied drive leads to Silver Maple Manor, a breathtaking waterfront and equestrian estate nestled on nearly eight acres along Little Aberdeen Creek. Designed by the renowned Scarlett Breeding and built with masterful craftsmanship, this European-inspired retreat feels as if it has stood for centuries, its mature landscaping and thoughtful details evoking the grandeur of a bygone era. With 5 bedrooms, 6 full baths and 2 half baths, this home is a masterpiece of custom millwork, rough-sawn oak flooring, and exquisite stonework. The grand foyer welcomes you with soaring 21-foot ceilings, a sweeping curved staircase with a brass handrail, and Venetian plaster walls that glow in the natural light. Every room is designed to embrace the water views, from the elegant living spaces to the chef’s kitchen, where marble countertops and a Thermador cooktop await culinary creations. The finished room above the garage offers a wonderful game room or retreat. The home also features 2 offices and a bonus room with cedar closet that is perfect for a gym. A temperature-controlled wine cellar offers a place to store prized vintages, while the butler’s pantry, complete with a Sub-Zero beverage cooler and Miele double ovens, ensures effortless entertaining. Beyond the home, the estate unfolds into a sanctuary of outdoor luxury. A heated saltwater pool, framed by bluestone pavers and a pergola-shaded terrace, invites both relaxation and celebration. The screened sunporch, with its stacked-stone fireplace and beadboard ceiling, provides a cozy retreat in every season, flowing seamlessly to the flagstone patio, where the water shimmers just beyond. For those drawn to the water, the estate offers four deep-water slips, two boat lifts, and a cedar boathouse, a work of art in itself with handcrafted shutters and masterful carpentry. Whether setting sail for an afternoon on the Chesapeake or simply watching the boats drift by, life here is tied to the rhythm of the water. Equestrians will find a barn thoughtfully designed for both function and beauty, with horse stalls, a conditioned tack room, a traditional hayloft, and its own dedicated driveway for trailers. The rolling pastures provide ample space for grazing, offering a picturesque setting for riding or simply enjoying the serene surroundings. Though it feels like a secluded retreat, Silver Maple Manor is just minutes from Historic Annapolis and an easy commute to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and major airports. A home of rare beauty and distinction, it is a place where elegance, nature, and craftsmanship intertwine, creating a timeless estate. Welcome Home!Show Description
