Discover Sustainable Charm at 217 S River Clubhouse Rd. Nestled on nearly 5 ac of pristine, private land, this unique 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is a true retreat from the ordinary. Built with a nod to the Ekose'a Home Designs of the 70's and 80's as an innovative “double envelope house”—a design renowned for its energy efficiency.
Warm pine wood flooring sets a tone of rustic charm that flows seamlessly through the main level. Sunlight filters through generous windows, sliders and skylights, illuminating the interior and highlighting the passive solar energy features that keep the home temperate and inviting year-round. The efficiently designed galley kitchen can be closed off for privacy from the dining room and the family room features a Vermont Castings wood burning stove capable of keeping the entire home toasty -- even in the coldest MD winter weather! A powder room and a laundry/hobby room are also on the main level.
Newly carpeted stairs lead to the upper level, where the tranquil sleeping quarters offer peace and privacy with plush new carpeting underfoot. There is access from both the primary suite and the rear guest bedroom to the interior balcony overlooking the sunroom/solarium below.
Outside, the expansive grounds invite you to explore your natural surroundings with extensive landscaping, hardscaping, boardwalk paths through the woods and over a spring fed creek, a greenhouse enclosed 12x36 gunite (chlorine) pool (plumbed for heating) and your very own 24x40 post built workshop. There is about a 1/2 acre cleared meadow towards the rear of the property near the workshop and another 1/2 acre or so cleared surrounding the most amazing Tulip Poplar tree at the rear and side of the home.
With ample space for gardening, entertaining, or just basking in the serenity of your secluded haven, life here feels like a perpetual getaway.
All of this just 45 minutes from the Baltimore/DC/Metro area, 15 minutes from everything Annapolis has to offer and just 5 minutes from shopping, dining and grocery options right in Edgewater. Last but not least, this piece of paradise feeds to the CENTRAL/SOUTH RIVER SCHOOL DISTRICT!
