About 606 E Seminary Ave
Welcome to this magically charming stone residence, orginally built in 1939, beautifully sited on 3.79 picturesque acres with direct access to the scenic trails of Loch Raven Reservoir. This one-of-a-kind estate masterfully blends historic architecture with modern luxury, featuring a 4-car garage addition and prep kitchen remodel completed in 2006, and a stunning three-story addition built in 2016 by local craftsman Marty Bement of Bement and Sons.
Outdoors, enjoy a luxurious heated pool with a fully appointed pool house, outdoor kitchen, and a Gaga court tucked behind the pool. A concrete walkway leads from the main house to these exceptional recreational amenities.
Inside, the home offers elegant and spacious living areas, including a formal living room with built-in shelving, a fireplace, gleaming hardwood floors, and French doors opening to a Maryland flagstone terrace. The den, with its rich 1930s custom oak paneling, features a bay window, wood-burning fireplace, and radiant heated slate floors, providing a cozy and refined retreat with access to the breezeway/mudroom and garage.
The prep kitchen, perfect for entertaining, is outfitted with a full Sub-Zero refrigerator, panel-front dishwasher, full-size washer and dryer, granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a second fireplace, plus a charming front breakfast nook.
The expansive new addition introduces a grand open dining room with vaulted ceilings, oversized tile flooring, radiant floor heat, six skylights, a standing seam metal roof, recessed lighting, and a ceiling fan. French doors lead to a side grilling station and a built-in wet bar equipped with a dual-drawer refrigerator and beverage center—ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.
The gourmet kitchen is a showstopper, with custom cabinetry, a Wolf propane stove with griddle, a custom lighted and vented range hood, Sub-Zero paneled refrigerator, Cove paneled dishwasher, oversized farmhouse sink with a touch-free faucet, and granite countertops that offer the beauty of marble with enhanced durability. An oversized island with storage on both ends completes this chef's dream.
The kitchen opens directly into the luxury first-floor family room, which boasts wide-plank hardwood floors with radiant heat, a wood-burning fireplace, custom wood beams, built-in Sonos sound, and French doors leading to a Trex deck with incredible views.
Upstairs, you’ll find four en suite bedrooms, including three in the original home and a newly added primary suite featuring tray ceilings, hardwood flooring with radiant heat, recessed lighting, a huge custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with two private commodes, dual sinks, and an oversized walk-in shower.
Bedroom #2, formerly the primary suite, includes dual closets, a full bath, panoramic views, hardwoods, and a decorative fireplace.
Bedroom #3 offers a built-in desk area, oversized walk-in closet, full bath, and hardwoods.
Bedroom #4, located above the den, includes a private bath, decorative ceilings, and a sitting area with hardwood floors.
A bonus/study room, previously used as a fourth bedroom, adds flexibility for home office or guest space.
The lower level is divided into two large recreational spaces:
Rec Room #1 (part of the new addition) includes a walk-out to the rear yard, a full bathroom, full wet bar with refrigerator, and access to the oversized crawl space housing radiant heat equipment.
Rec Room #2 (original home) features charming wood paneling, a stone decorative fireplace, a second full laundry, and space ideal for a gym, game room, media room, or man cave.
Additional features include Marvin windows (replaced in 2009), radiant heating throughout much of the home, multiple laundry areas, and an expansive garage with second-floor storage.
