on Yantz Cove

Plenty of homes in Severna Park have a water view. At 139 Boone Trail, the water is the whole point. This Severna Park waterfront home sits on 100 feet of Yantz Cove in Linstead on the Severn, and almost every main room was planned to face it. It is also one of the rare waterfront homes where you can walk into downtown Severna Park for coffee or dinner.

The house was taken down to the studs in 2015 and rebuilt by a local team of architects, builders and designers. What they made feels calm and collected rather than showy. Wide-plank white oak runs underfoot, quartzite tops the kitchen, polished nickel hardware catches the light, and there is a lot of glass pointed at the cove.

Here is a closer look at what it's like to live here, from the end of the pier to the front door.

Walk Through 139 Boone Trail with Jen

Jen filmed this tour with Joey Messenger of JM Real Estate Photos just before the home came to market. It's a quick watch, and it's the easiest way to see how the house opens toward the cove before you visit in person.

The Waterfront

Life on Yantz Cove

Yantz Cove is a quiet cove off the Severn River on the Severna Park side. From the private pier, the cove opens to the Severn, with the Naval Academy Bridge, Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay all downriver. Closer to home, the cove itself is ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding and a swim off the dock on a summer afternoon.

The setup at the water is what waterfront buyers ask about first, and it's thoughtfully done here:

Stone stairs leading from the house down to a large, flat lawn at the water's edge, with room for a fire pit

The sellers will tell you the wildlife is part of the daily routine. Ospreys and eagles work the cove, herons and egrets wade the shoreline, and on a breezy weekend, the sailboats are part of the view too.

With a waterfront home, the important questions start at the end of the pier, not at the front door.

Inside the Home

Built Around the View

The main level is open from the kitchen through the dining area to the great room, and the back of the house is mostly windows. Andersen windows run throughout, with as much glass as possible facing the river, and plantation shutters soften the light without blocking the view. A gas fireplace on its own thermostat makes the great room just as comfortable in January.

A Kitchen Made for Real Cooking

The kitchen pairs quartzite counters and custom cabinetry with a Wolf range under a custom Vent-A-Hood, a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator and a separate ice maker. Hudson Valley Lighting and Waterstone fixtures finish it. It's open to the dining area and great room, so the view carries all the way through, and whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation.

The Screened Porch

If there's one room people will remember, it's probably this one. The screened porch has a warm wood ceiling and custom exterior shutters, and it sits right over the cove. It's the spot for morning coffee, an afternoon read, or dinner as the light goes down over the water.

Upstairs: Waking Up to the Water

The primary suite looks straight out over the cove, and the waterside bedrooms have remote-controlled Hunter Douglas blinds. Both upper-level full baths have radiant floor heat, marble vanity tops and frameless glass showers. The primary bath features hand-beaded Thibaut wallpaper, one of those details you notice on the second pass. Laundry is on the bedroom level, right where it should be.

The Lower Level

Downstairs, the original laundry room was converted into a bunk room with a new full bath and walk-in shower. It stays naturally cool and dark, so it's a great place to sleep in. The open main room works as an office, gym, or rec room, and it walks out to an enclosed lower porch finished in bluestone-style tile, steps from the lawn and the water.

Outdoor Rooms on Every Level

Between the deck off the main level, the lower patio, and the lawn at the water, there are several places to settle in outside, each with a slightly different angle on the cove. The deck has been inspected and reinforced, and the yard follows a plan from a local landscape architect.

The Neighborhood

Linstead on the Severn

Linstead is about 140 homes on one loop road along the Severn. Community life centers on the water. There are four community beaches, a pavilion and playground, and a beach house with a new catering kitchen. The Linstead Sailing Club keeps its own small fleet for novice and experienced sailors alike, and the calendar fills with neighborhood traditions like the Fourth of July parade, a progressive dinner, and the chili cook-off.

Walk to Downtown Severna Park

This is one of the things that sets this spot in Linstead apart. Downtown Severna Park is close enough that neighbors here leave the car at home. They walk to The Big Bean for a morning coffee, stroll over to Always Ice Cream for a scoop after dinner, and head into town on foot for happy hour, dinner out, or an afternoon in the shops.

Having a private pier on a quiet cove and downtown within walking distance is a rare combination, even in Severna Park. For everything else, it is a short drive:

MOM’s Organic Market5 min

Homestead Gardens6 min

Cafe Mezzanotte6 min

Severna Park Yacht Basin8 min

B&A Trail, Earleigh Heights9 min

Jonas Green Park kayak launch9 min

Drive times were measured in Google Maps in November 2026 and will vary with traffic and time of day.

Why It Matters

How We Prepare a Waterfront Listing

Waterfront and water-privileged homes are a big part of what The Jen Holden Group does, and they need a different kind of plan. Buyers on the water are comparing piers, lifts and shorelines as closely as kitchens and baths. Jen knows these waters from the helm, too, as a sailor who races with Eastport Yacht Club. So before 139 Boone Trail went live, we gathered the details buyers and their agents ask about.

What Buyers Ask First

How many slips does the pier have, and what can the lift hold? How does the boat get from the cove to the river? What is the shoreline like, and what can change near it?

In Maryland, land within 1,000 feet of tidal waters is part of the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area, and Anne Arundel County's Waterfront Homeowners Guide explains why work in the 100-foot shoreline buffer requires prior approval. Buyers can also check a property on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center.

How We Present the Water

Twilight and aerial photography that shows where the home sits on the cove. A tour video Jen filmed on site. A Points of Interest map with real drive times to coffee shops, grocery stores, marinas, and trails.

Plus a detailed features sheet with notes on the renovation, so buyers can understand the systems, the pier, and the work behind the finishes before they ever ask.
