About This Home
Introducing 1486 Downham Market—an architectural gem perched on a premier waterfront lot in the prestigious Downs on the Severn. This transitional-style contemporary offers sophisticated elegance with clean lines, refined finishes, and walls of glass that bring the outside in. With 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across three thoughtfully finished levels, every inch of this home was designed to impress. The gourmet kitchen features chef-grade stainless appliances, granite countertops, gas cooking, and breathtaking water views, flowing into multiple living spaces including a formal dining room, a sunlit breakfast nook, a den, living room, and family room—anchored by a dramatic double-sided stone fireplace. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a true retreat with sweeping water views, a private sitting room with fireplace, separate staircase, massive custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with skylight, deep soaking tub, exquisite glass shower, and dual vanities that rival a five-star hotel. Additional bedrooms include an ensuite, and a Jack-and-Jill layout—each with ample space and natural light. Rich hardwoods grace the main and upper levels, while the expansive lower level offers a rec room with wet bar, wine storage, gym, 5th bedroom, full bath, and a glass-enclosed sunroom ready for your hot tub and lounge chairs. Outside, tiered decks create the ultimate setting for entertaining or peaceful waterfront living. The impressive 180-foot pier—one of the longest in the Downs—features three slips, 50-amp electric, a 40-amp prewire for future expansion, 11-foot depth, and reinforced pilings for a 40,000 lb boat lift. Full riparian rights, protected positioning at the corner of Clements Creek and the Severn River, a new septic system, and state-of-the-art water treatment system with reverse osmosis and UV protection complete the package. The Downs on the Severn is a premier waterfront community with two marinas, clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, and easy access to D.C., Baltimore, and historic Annapolis. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle.
