555 Kate Wagner Rd, Westminster, MD, 21157

A stately gated entrance and private drive announce arrival to this majestic estate home sited on a hill presiding over 12 rolling acres. A circular drive is centered on the covered front porch and architectural gantry balcony above. The stone porch and commanding wood entry doors are articulated with leaded glass, sidelights, and an elegant eyebrow transom. Inside, a two-story marble foyer is sided by wall niches, curved staircases to upper and lower floors, and a grand hall on each side. Above, a dramatic dome and feature chandelier on a lift add to draw your eye upward with experiential splendor. The grand side halls flanking the foyer open to the banquet-sized Formal Dining Room on one side, and a formal study richly appointed with a brick fireplace on the other. Architectural columns define the foyer as it unfolds through a sweeping central arch into the storied formal living room. A stone arch surrounds a gas fireplace on center axis with three sets of French doors that border the octagonal-shaped living room, each opening to a wrap-around rear porch. The octagonal shape is repeated above in the mezzanine overlook with French doors that open to a rear balcony and sweeping arched windows. Repeated architectural arches, strong multi-piece crown moldings, tall base moldings, and multi-tray ceilings, along with fine finishes, combine to become the design language throughout this luxury estate home. A secondary back stair to upper sleeping quarters is discreetly located adjacent to one of four entry points to the gourmet kitchen and breakfast room, which are the heart of the home. Perfect for gatherings large and small, the floor plan offers traffic flow options and easy passage from room to room, along with speakers in every room for festive occasions. The large gourmet kitchen offers stainless appliances including a professionally sized Viking fridge and freezer, Viking gas range, hood, two dishwashers, walk-in pantry, center island, secondary prep sink, and a peninsula breakfast bar that transitions to an octagonal breakfast room. Architectural brick arches open to the Family room with a cozy brick fireplace and abundant space for large, informal gatherings where guests can meander outside through French doors. Friends and family can enter and exit through a less formal, secondary entry and covered porch, or through the laundry/mudroom side access and covered porch option. Thoughtful design in this floor plan offers versatility and flexibility for change, and lifestyle options. Main level living can be paramount, and this floor plan boasts a dedicated primary suite wing with two fireplaces, sitting area, private balcony, luxury jetted bath, separate vanities, dressing table, and steam shower. The main level is concluded with another secondary en-suite bedroom with a corner built-in and private bath, adjacent to the Primary Suite wing. Upstairs, there are four more en-suite bedrooms, a second laundry with hook-ups, a library with built-in bookcases, and a sixth ensuite bedroom option that is nearly finished. Endless entertainment options abound on two lower levels. Lower level One has a central wrap-around wet bar flanked by two bathrooms and two stair entry options. A fully finished recreation and billiards room share a brick fireplace and butler's service bar. The adjacent exercise room has a partially finished full bath and walk-in closet for expanded flexibility. Opposite the wet bar, a pair of French doors open into an elaborately finished Theater room, outfitted with risers, eight recliners, iPad control projector, screen, surround sound speakers, and sound barrier. Options galore include a light-filled walk-out game area with observation windows open to the sport court and B-Ball hoop below.
