Exhale & smile as you drive under the B&A Trail overpass and instantly feel as if you have entered a time and distance warp, with horse farms right and left. As you continue to 298 (see directions), this wonderful, Severn River View house on over an acre has been thoughtfully improved, enlarged and maintained over the years. This property has use of a community right of way to the left of the house that leads to the Severn. The Sellers named their homestead “Birdsong”, as the amazing gardens they have lovingly provided and tended are a haven for all kinds of birds. There is a lovely and private lap pool that had a $40K renovation in late 2023. Inside, the open Kitchen and Family rooms are perfect for the way people live today. Propane powers the gas cooktop in the kitchen. This area houses 2 walk-in pantries (!) and a half bath as well. The formal Living & Dining Rooms have coffered ceilings, Palladian windows from an old Philadelphia Bank (but with recently replaced double pane glass!) and fabulous Severn River water views over the sweeping front lawn (including the swings, which convey). The Perfectly charming Sunroom is off the Living Room with garden and water views. Upstairs the Primary Bedroom had an addition giving it extra space. Both the primary and hall baths have been updated. The hallway is lined with spacious closets: including the conveniently located laundry. There are 2 additional bedrooms upstairs, 1 with great water views (as do the Primary BR & Primary Bath). There is a back-up Generator for all systems and the Well was redone 3-4 years ago. Nestled in among multi-million dollar properties, “Birdsong” will not disappoint!
