For the gourmand, or not, this is a kitchen you will not want to leave and which will, no doubt, become activity central. Original 1920s rough hewn bricks cover 3 of 4 walls; when lit they become a work of art. The 11' long bar-top is a beautiful solid piece of African wood called Bubinga. The entire kitchen aside from the brick is new, including top of the line appliances. As you stand at the sink, you might turn and look out the floor to ceiling windows, feeling as if on the edge of a precipice, looking down a steep hill to Chase Creek. Just on the other side is a glassed in bay with a view of the garden. There a sliding door leads you directly from kitchen to outdoor grill.

Dine indoors at the stunning wood bar-top, the dining table or at the outdoor table overlooking the creek and Severn River beyond surrounded by dozens of twinkling outdoor garden lights.
