Bungalow vibes and all the great bones of a charming cedar shake exterior amp up the curb appeal of this 2,700-square-foot residence located in one of Annapolis’s most desirable neighborhoods.
A well-groomed front yard and stone pillar enhancements that lead to a sweet front porch add to the visual aesthetic of this residence which offers three bedrooms, including a large primary suite, and three and a half baths.
The home, which sold for $25,000 over ask, was built in 1940 and is punctuated with pre-war era charm starting with the gracious front door with its arched, stained glass transom and sidelight windows. The door opens to a lovely, large living room with gleaming hardwood floors. It is here you will get a first look at the attractive, old-world style wood trim treatments and the meticulous care that was taken to preserve them.
The living room offers nice natural light from its mission-style windowpanes and the ambiance of a white-washed brick fireplace front; a sweet spot to sit, chat, and entertain.
An arched doorway leads back to the home’s formal dining room with its series of large casement windows, which then flows back into its warm and inviting farmhouse kitchen. Gorgeous custom wood cabinetry abounds here, as does a wealth of attractive stainless steel appliances including a gas range with steel hood. Gleaming granite countertops and a neutral tile backsplash work together to provide a light, attractive aesthetic. A large center island with prep sink adds to the already generous prep space in the room and two stools provide the utility of a handy coffee or breakfast bar.
This open-plan space flows effortlessly into an attractive family room with multi-tonal slate floor and a gorgeous built-in feature wall with fireplace and cabinetry for books and knick-knacks on either side; a charming fireside respite. The family room opens to the residence’s outdoor space with its pretty deck and step-down paver patio that is perfect for entertaining. A room located off the kitchen is a flexible space for a den or first-floor guest room.
Upstairs there are two beautiful bedrooms; one is the large, primary suite with those warm hardwoods and a separate seating area for reading and relaxing. A large primary bath features attractive wood cabinetry with a dual vanity and a large, glass tile shower. Large-format tile floors in a neutral color keep the space crisp and clean. A free-standing soaking tub overlooks a set of French doors that open to the owners’ private balcony, a true retreat from life’s stressors.
A large, second bedroom on this level offers its own private bath, and an outbuilding on the property provides room to grow for storage and an adjacent studio space.
