Situated above Crab Creek and boasting spectacular water views of the creek and South River, this custom-built cottage-style home is absolutely charming—an idyllic retreat where the delights of waterfront living abound. The property was listed on October 21st, 2018 and closed on January 3rd, 2019 after only 48 days on the market.
“The owner, who hails from New York City, originally built the home for his parents, whose primary residence was in Montgomery County,” says Jeff Ross of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, the listing agent for the property. “They were uncomfortable with the idea of owning a second home, but they ultimately ended up docking their sailboat in one of the slips. Over the next 32 years, my client and his family used the residence as a second home to escape the proverbial ‘rat race’ of Manhattan.”
Exuding impressive curb appeal, the four-level home features an eye-catching exterior design and lovely landscaping. French doors greatly enhance the main level—showcasing the serene water views. Adorned with hardwood floors, the living and dining rooms are open to one another, creating an easy flow. The living room features a cozy fireplace and offers the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the views. Sharing a delicious meal is a delight in the dining room, which overlooks the kitchen and includes large windows and access to the waterside deck.
Beautifully designed spaces also await on the upper levels of this stunning home. The exquisite master bedroom, located on the second level, features locally handcrafted wooden cabinetry, a built-in armoire, a fireplace, carpeting, and oversized windows that boast water views. The master bath, which also offers water views, includes a dual sink vanity, and a Jacuzzi tub. A ballet studio, complete with a barre and wall-length mirrors, is located on the third level. Attached to the studio is a charming sitting area with built-in bookshelves.
The lower walkout level features a bedroom and a full bath for additional convenience. The exterior includes a boathouse and private pier with lifts and multiple boat slips, amenities that greatly enhance the property. This home is truly a waterfront paradise.
“This was a meaningful transaction for me,” Ross says. “I met the owner and his wife in 1999 when they brought their children to Annapolis for the school year. During our conversation at dinner—although the owner’s wife initially didn’t believe me—I finally convinced her that we both grew up in West Orange, New Jersey—less than one mile apart. It was the beginning of a 20-plus year friendship.”
