Off the Severn River

Standing sentinel over 2.53 prime acres bordering a peaceful estuary of the Chesapeake Bay, The Heywood House is a benchmark to which the finest Southern manors aspire. Within its 4,498 square feet of living area find exceptional spaces designed to embrace a charmed life – 3 generously sized bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half updated baths, along with sun-drenched living and entertaining spaces that take ultimate advantage of the waterfront panorama. Most noticeable are the architectural details like hefty crown, door and window moldings, layered wainscoting, gleaming hardwood floors and delightful beadboard wall accents. Boasting 4 fireplaces, each with a distinctive surround and mantel, this home’s features are numerous, from the light-filled sunroom that spills onto the backyard patio to the upstairs game room with cheerful checkered floor, tree-shaded circular drive to 100’ pier with boat slip and 2 dive platforms.

Privacy and Comfort

Polished black granite provides the perfect contrast to the generous cabinetry in the chef’s dream kitchen with adjacent wet bar/butler’s pantry. When night falls, the family can relax in their choice of 2 sitting rooms before retiring to one of the 4 bedrooms (one on the first level), each with beautifully appointed bath. Of special note is the true master suite, with its own private sunroom/sitting room and large master bath with clawfoot tub cleverly positioned under an expanse of windows that overlook the backyard waterfront.

Panoramic Water Views

The sprawling exterior is a perfect match to the gracious interior.  The backyard lawn protected by soaring pines rolls gently down to the deep navigable water; a charming storage cottage secures boating gear and more. Above all is the contented feeling of privacy that only a home site of these dimensions can present, whether you are spending idle hours on the rear brick patio or tending your vegetable or herb garden if that is your pleasure. There is ample space for almost any outdoor activity at The Heywood House – a totally refurbished modern residence that pays respectful homage to its authentic farmhouse roots.
