Contemporary

Welcome to Ri-Va-Vu! This is the quintessential southern MD waterfront home located on the Patuxent River with views to NAS Patuxent River, the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, and Solomons Island. This impeccable contemporary Cedar home comes with everything you could wish for the complete waterfront lifestyle! Located in highly sought-after of Drum Point, this home sits at one of the highest elevations in the community. The thoughtful floorplan combines open concept with cozy spaces for easy entertaining of both small or large gatherings. Upon entry, you’ll immediately see the water from multiple large windows across the back of the home. Once you can tear your eyes away from the view, you’ll notice the gorgeous soaring vaulted cedar plank ceiling and stairway, the sunken living room with 2 story fireplace/chimney with an Enviro M55 pellet stove, and the bump out that provides 180-degree views of the water. The kitchen has been updated to please any chef and includes marble countertops, a 4-door SS fridge, prep sink, walk-in pantry, trash compactor, deep SS double sink and of course – river views over the sink! There is a dining area with French doors leading to the 22x10 main-level deck with motorized Sunair retractable awning. The main level floorplan is built to accommodate multiple seating areas – the bump-out is a lovely spot to create a space to use as a sunroom or breakfast room. Moving on you’ll find a bedroom with private balcony and en suite – perfect if you need one-level living. There are two more bedrooms (one currently used as an office) and another full bath. Heading upstairs, you’ll come to the catwalk sunroom overlooking the living room. This area has incredible water views and can be used as a sitting room, artists’ space, office… use your imagination! The huge primary suite on the second floor has vaulted ceilings, endless water views, an unbelievably large walk-in closet, luxury spa bath (with water views too!), and a sitting room/office space with private balcony… there is even a laundry chute. Closet is even plumbed for a stackable washer and dryer. An incredibly relaxing and private retreat to begin and end each day. In the basement the sunlight pours in through the windows that face the river. The family room is expansive and has room for TV lounging, gaming tables, and more. Here you’ll find yet another large bedroom with those amazing water views. There is also a 4th full bath downstairs so this has excellent in-law apartment potential. The laundry room is another large space with tiled flooring and a second full-sized refrigerator. And there is one more space to tour here – the storage room with shelving and pegboard that can be used for storage, crafts, and/or hobbies. Outside, you’ll enjoy bird-watching, nature-watching, and great photographic moments. The property is thoughtfully hardscaped and landscaped to include a wide variety of trees, shrubs, and perennials, a huge deck, a huge patio, and even a waterfall – a lush playground teeming with diverse flora and fauna. The large deck and patio areas are perfect for enjoying crabs while watching the river go by. The pier was rebuilt in 2021 to be 20” higher than the previous pier. The sailboat regattas, dolphins, skates, and waterfowl provide endless entertainment. The purchase of this property also includes an opportunity for a full membership to the Drum Point Club within walking distance from the property.
