More than seven acres of rolling pasture and 10,000 square-feet of exquisitely designed living space makes this waterfront and equestrian estate off of Little Aberdeen Creek, a property of distinction.
For those looking for impeccable quality combined with elegance and an air of sophistication, this Annapolis address delivers. From its stately approach along a tree-lined drive with lovely fencing to its classic, and uncluttered, white farmhouse-inspired façade, this home is an exercise in good taste.
An arched front entry enhanced with thoughtfully-trimmed vines of ivy lead to an expansive, airy foyer. Once inside, the flawless architectural design of Scarlett Breeding abounds in a masterful display of custom woodwork and Venetian plaster walls. Light pours in here from a series of luxe French doors accentuating the architecture of a sculpted staircase, the entry’s 21-foot ceilings, and the simply elegant tilework beneath one’s feet.
A series of graceful living spaces reveal themselves including the tasteful living room that overlooks the property’s gorgeous slate paver patio and grounds leading to the water’s edge and those amazing creek-side views. A wealth of rough-sewn oak flooring and clean white walls with a classic, white fireplace mantle and surround provide the perfect canvas for decorative exploration.
There’s an adjacent formal dining room across the hall that is large, light, airy, and ready to welcome guests for life’s special occasions. The enormous, white farmhouse-style kitchen also offers water-facing views, and a large center island topped with an opulent stone that matches the surrounding countertops. Integrated appliances, custom cabinetry, and a roomy butler’s pantry optimize the function of the space for meals, while a clean aesthetic speaks to this room’s effortless style.
There’s additional gathering space in the adjacent family room that’s accented with another classic, white fireplace. This space connects to the outdoors and a lovely, screened-in porch with amazing stone features, a rustic fireplace, room for outdoor dining, and a gorgeous in-laid wood ceiling. Simply relaxed and refined all at once.
The main level also offers bonus conversation areas, a stunning office designed with all custom-crafted built-ins, and two of the home’s five bedrooms, including a guest suite with private bath, and the magnificent primary suite overlooking the waterfront. This room is spacious, has its own fireplace, and access through a series of French doors to the large, stone balcony overlooking the water. Exquisite finishings and millwork frame out an opulent primary bath with luxe tile treatments, a large soaking tib, dual vanities with elegant stone countertops and a separate, glass panel shower.
Outdoor luxuries abound, as well, with the property’s gracious in-ground salt-water pool with its incredible landscaping, and its four private dock slips with an amazingly charming and well-crafted cedar boathouse.
In addition, modern-day equestrians have an absolute paradise to explore amongst the acreage highlighted with a best-in-class horse barn with several stalls, an air-conditioned tack room, a traditional hayloft, and a dedicated driveway just for trailers.
