Annapolis, MD 21403

ONE OF THE BEST VIEWS IN ANNAPOLIS from this 9,000 sq ft brick home, set on 2.5 private acres overlooking the South River. The waterside features include a huge pool with spa surrounded by a flagstone patio. There is a private pier that could accommodate several boats, and it's a short ride to the Chesapeake Bay. The lower, walk-out level has a patio and waterviews. The front yard is level, and there is a gentle slope to the water from the home (no flooding here!). If you've ever boated on the South River, you've seen this house: it's next to the historic brick home, just past Harness Creek, as you head up-river.

One of the best things about this home is that most of the everyday living space is on one level. Enter the gracious, marble-floored foyer and there is a formal dining room with parquet floors on the right, and a formal living room with decorative fireplace on the left. Ahead, the family room has three sets of sliding doors to the waterside screened porch, beautiful built-in cabinets surrounding the gas fireplace, and two skylights to bring in the natural light. The kitchen has dark cherry cabinets and a large island for food prep. There are double KitchenAid ovens, with convection, a Jenn-Air downdraft cooktop with griddle, double bowl sink, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The adjoining mudroom/pantry has lots of storage, an extra refrigerator and freezer, utility sink, and the washer & dryer. One of the best rooms in the house is through the family room: the comfortable screened porch, with flagstone flooring and expansive views.

The master bedroom has full height windows overlooking the water, as well as a gas fireplace. The walk-in closet has built-ins for all sorts of clothing, and the master bathroom features a jacuzzi tub with marble surround, separate shower, and dual-sink vanity. There are two additional bedrooms on this main level that share a hall bath; each bedroom is generous in size and has the full height windows.

The lower, walk-out level has a 2500 square foot rec room that includes a walnut bar (with triple-bowl sink, just like the professionals!) and gorgeous stone-surround fireplace. This room opens to the waterside brick patio and has views to the South River. Think of the parties you could have here! This level also has a game room, home office (could be 4th bedroom), full bathroom (perfect for the pool-users), workshop/utility room, and large unfinished area that is accessible directly from the outside for all that boat stuff that needs storage.

This is the first time this very special property has been offered for sale. It is located on a private road, so there is not an opportunity to drive by. Please call Charlie to arrange a private tour.
