With Cathy Purple Cherry, we have found an architect for life. Cathy designed and oversaw many major residential construction and renovation projects for us and her thorough and thoughtful approach is unparalleled. She made the effort to understand how our family lives, then designed living space that was wonderfully detailed in both feature and function. Her approach is intelligent, professional and comprehensive. She operates with the highest integrity and is a geniunely nice person.

Private Waterfront Residence on the Severn River

This new 14,000 sf four-story luxurious waterfront home sits on an unparalleled landmark property. At water’s edge, alongside the 960 feet of shoreline, an extensive promenade offers uncompromising, 270-degree views that extend from Round Bay to the Naval Academy, Chesapeake Bay, and beyond. The exterior finishes include cut limestone walls, a stacked stone foundation and chimneys,stucco, a slate roof and mahogany wood windows. The interior presents with fine moldings and paneling throughout the first floor and other areas of the house. The curved library includes all stained wood paneling and curved entry doors. The lower level includes an indoor pool with a grotto at one end and a custom built bar, wine room with vaulted brick ceiling and a sauna. The master bedroom suite provides an expansive view of the water and the attached sitting room allows for 180-degree views of the Bay. In addition, three other bedrooms located on the second floor include separate custom-tiled bathrooms and built-in window seats. On the third floor is the children's playroom, nanny's quarters and media room. The property also has two additional outbuildings, which provide a "compound" feeling to the estate.
