Tucked into nearly nine acres of preserved woodlands and lush, curated gardens, 20 Harwood Drive is a one-of-a-kind retreat where every detail has been thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed. Just minutes from Annapolis, this serene country estate blends natural beauty with top-tier luxury. As you arrive, a private sweeping drive winds through manicured grounds and sets the tone for what’s to come. The paver parking area adds elegance and function, while beautiful gas lanterns frame the front of the home, casting a soft, welcoming glow. Step inside to an extremely inviting foyer, framed with beautiful hardwood flooring and custom moldings that immediately set the tone. Natural light pours through oversized windows and skylights, and the main living space features custom built-ins and a striking brick fireplace with built-in wood storage. From the moment you enter, the home exudes a serene and soulful energy—offering warmth, peace, and a deep sense of connection to nature. This home feels like an escape to the countryside of another life—one where every detail matters and nothing feels rushed. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, anchored by a massive walnut island and exposed wood beams overhead, with a seamless blend of soapstone and quartz counters, Wolf stainless steel appliances, a warming drawer, Wolf tabletop oven, wine fridge, floating shelves, and a tucked-away coffee nook. A separate scullery provides additional prep and storage space with matching soapstone counters, and just off the scullery is a beautifully appointed full bath with a custom tiled glass shower—ideal for rinsing off after a dip in the pool or time spent exploring the outdoors. The grand primary suite is a private sanctuary of its own, featuring tray ceilings, wooded views, and an enormous walk-in closet with storage for everything. The ensuite primary bath is exquisite, filled with natural light and complete with a deep standalone soaking tub, an amazing custom-tiled walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a Japanese toilet. All the baths throughout the home are equally stunning, with elevated finishes and thoughtful design. One of the guest bedrooms also features its own private ensuite bath, offering comfort and privacy for overnight visitors. The laundry room is both functional and stylish, with a deep sink, soapstone folding counter, and large-capacity washer and dryer. Step outside into the kind of outdoor lifestyle most only dream of: the completely redone saltwater pool and surrounding deck area are framed by lush gardens, mature flowering trees, and endless hydrangeas. A sunken stone patio with wood-burning fireplace invites year-round gatherings, while a large deck off the kitchen overlooks the forest and gardens below. Wander down your own private wooded trail to a peaceful creek, or explore the rolling hills of the horse and hiking path that winds through the property. The oversized garage includes a Tesla charger and easily fits two large vehicles. The home is powered by three Tesla Powerwalls, offering 45kw of backup energy with instant power, and a whole-house generator provides added security. Systems and upgrades include new HVAC, new windows and doors, new electric panels, a new well pressure tank, new water softener, and a brand-new septic system. The 1000-gallon propane tank fuels the furnace, range, fireplace, generator, and is ready for an outdoor kitchen or future expansion. LED lighting surrounds the home and highlights the Hardi board siding, architectural roof, and gas lanterns. Thoughtful interior touches include shiplap walls, woven wood blinds, seeded glass accents, and skylights throughout. An artist studio, greenhouse, or workshop with a private entrance is the perfect place to create, build, or escape. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, a sanctuary, and a deeply soulful retreat where luxury meets nature in every possible way.
