OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 9/12 FROM 12 until 2 pm. Spectacular Magothy River views abound from this 5-bedroom duplex in Severna Park. 499 Maple Road is the perfect spot for a weekend retreat or enjoy it as a full-time residence, waking up each day to the soothing river views. Dine on the stone patio overlooking the water or launch a small boat from the bulkheaded beach out front.

There are wonderful options for how to use the various spaces throughout the home. Step in from the foyer and the water view is immediately apparent through the dining area, living room, and sunroom. Light streams in through the waterside wall of doors and windows, as well as through the skylights. A fireplace in the living room is accented by natural stone and flanked by built-in bookshelves. The dining area has tile flooring, while the living room has new carpeting. The kitchen, with custom yellow cabinetry, has a huge adjoining breakfast area. With tons of natural light, this could also be a good home office location. There are three bedrooms on this level and a hall bathroom. The main level primary bedroom has great views and a built-in platform - with heat - to accommodate a king-size mattress.

Upstairs, there's a spacious family room with fantastic views through a large Palladian window, wood floors, and a 2nd fireplace with marble surround. Again, there is flexibility in the use of space on this level. The 2nd primary bedroom includes a waterside deck and ensuite bathroom. Another possible bedroom, with hardwood floors, has separate access to the family room and includes an adjoining office or exercise space. There is a small deck off this space that overlooks the front garden.

This architect-designed home makes full use of the passive solar design to help minimize winter heating costs. This home has just had the interior repainted and new carpet installed and is ready for your special touch! There is ample parking on the shared driveway and two storage sheds for extra items. 499 Maple Road is part of the Arundel Beach community (voluntary HOA) as well as non-voting members of Maple on the Magothy.
