Welcome to 605 Lavender Court—a beautifully updated brick-front colonial set on a peaceful wooded lot in the heart of West River Estates, one of Southern Anne Arundel County’s most sought-after waterfront communities. Offering over 7,000 square feet of finished living space, this stately residence blends timeless design with modern upgrades and an abundance of flexible living areas. Within the last two years, significant updates have been made, including a new roof, blown-in attic insulation for enhanced energy efficiency, refinished hardwood floors, and brand-new carpet upstairs, to name a few. Step through the grand two-story foyer and into a home designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort. Formal living and dining rooms set the stage for special occasions, while French doors open to a main-level office anchored by a double-sided gas fireplace—shared with the dramatic great room, where soaring ceilings and a wall of windows fill the space with natural light. The great room flows effortlessly into a sunroom with access to the upper deck and a chef’s kitchen designed to impress. The gourmet kitchen is a standout, showcasing sleek granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry, modern hardware, a designer tile backsplash, and high-end appliances—including a built-in microwave and wall oven, induction cooktop, and refrigerator. A large center island and breakfast bar offer plenty of seating, while an informal dining area and mini dry bar create a seamless connection to the formal dining room. A stylish powder room completes the main level. A dual staircase leads to an airy landing overlooking the great room and access to four generously sized bedrooms. The serene primary suite boasts a private sitting area, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and a separate water closet. A well-appointed hall bath with double sinks and a tub/shower combination serves the additional bedrooms. The finished lower level offers incredible flexibility with a large recreation space, cozy family room nook with custom inset wall detail, and walkout access to the rear patio. Additionally, a third full bath boasts a designer tile shower with glass enclosure, while a spacious bedroom, dedicated gym, and versatile bonus room create endless options for guests, work, or wellness. The basement has also been plumbed for a kitchen or wet bar, making it ideal for multi-generational living or future entertaining space. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a two-level deck and expansive hardscape patio—all framed by the home’s tranquil wooded backdrop, perfect for quiet evenings or lively gatherings. Life in West River Estates offers the best of waterfront community living, with a private pier, kayak storage, scenic walking trails, and two playgrounds. The neighborhood’s vibrant calendar includes Easter egg hunts, a haunted Halloween trail, summer movie nights, golf cart holiday parades, and more—fostering a warm and welcoming sense of community. Ideally located just 30 minutes from Annapolis and under an hour from both Washington D.C. and Baltimore, with nearby marinas and direct access to the open waters of the Chesapeake Bay, 605 Lavender Court is a truly exceptional place to call home.
