Property Description
Welcome to your dream home — a 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 3-car garage retreat perfectly positioned on a 1-acre lot along the tranquil shores of 32-acre Griffith Lake. Blending timeless elegance with modern luxury, this residence has been meticulously maintained and extensively updated, offering unmatched comfort, convenience, and breathtaking waterfront views.
Main Level: Elegant Living & Effortless Entertaining
Step into the grand foyer where thoughtful design and craftsmanship shine at every turn. A welcoming half bath, custom hall closet, and cozy comfort room set the tone. The living room's wood-burning fireplace with a stone hearth invites quiet evenings or lively gatherings, while the formal dining room impresses with intricate millwork and custom wall sconces.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a two-tier island with breakfast bar. Premium appliances include a Thermador Professional 6-burner range and oven, stainless hood, Bosch dishwasher, Bosch French-door refrigerator, and built-in microwave drawer. A wet bar with sink and ice maker adds an elegant touch for entertaining.
The “Serenity Room” — a year-round glass-enclosed space with ductless HVAC — provides panoramic lake views , perfect for morning coffee or sunset relaxation. The adjacent den features built-in shelving, a window seat, flat-screen TV, and a Sonos sound bar for ultimate comfort and entertainment.
A main-level study, with a Murphy Bed and attached bath ensures accessibility and convenience for guests or residents.
Second Level: Private Luxury & Thoughtful Design
Ascend the staircase to a stunning primary suite with commanding lake views, a three-sided gas fireplace, expansive walk-in closet with built-ins, and a spa-inspired bath featuring an oversized soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms offer generous storage, one thoughtfully equipped with a portable escape ladder for safety.
A versatile recreation room or office with a cedar closet adds flexibility, while custom built-in bookcases and a second-floor geothermal HVAC system enhance both comfort and function.
Lower Level & Energy Features
The unfinished walkout basement provides ample potential — complete with a pool table, shelving, and a workshop with cabinetry. It also houses geothermal units, a tankless water heater, and a Halo/Remy air filtration system for superior air quality.
This home is a model of energy efficiency, powered by 64 rooftop solar panels and eight geothermal wells. Other updates include Andersen windows, fresh interior and exterior paint, and recent renovations to the kitchen, baths, and deck.
Outdoor Living: Lakefront Perfection
The expansive deck overlooking Griffith Lake is outfitted with Adirondack chairs, loungers, a gas grill, and dining set — perfect for entertaining or unwinding. The rip-rapped shoreline offers easy water access for fishing, kayaking, or quiet reflection.
Additional outdoor features include a Generac whole-house generator, 500-gallon buried propane tank, and meticulously landscaped gardens. The oversized three-car garage offers abundant storage with wall shelving and three closets.
Your Lakeside Lifestyle Awaits
Experience refined living, peaceful surroundings, and sustainable luxury — all on the shimmering edge of Griffith Lake. This exceptional waterfront residence is a rare opportunity to own a true Maryland masterpiece.
