No detail was too small and no resource material too rare for this truly exceptional property in the highly-desirable Annapolis community of Wardour. Built to rival any chateau in France, this grand manor home offers 185 feet of private water frontage on Weems Creek.
Styled and designed to appear as though it is a home in the Bordeaux region of France, this residence speaks French in every detail from its authentic glass panel doors and windowpanes, to the gorgeous terra cotta-tiled kitchen floor.
Approaching the home, you’ll arrive via circular driveway accentuated with lush, mature landscaping highlighted with a working fountain reminiscent of a Parisian garden scheme.
Once inside, the eye is drawn to the entry’s soaring ceilings, its handsome, inlaid marble tile floors, and the incredible views out to the creek and its luxurious waterside pool and patio area.
The all-new, chef-style kitchen is appointed with ultra-premium cabinetry and hardware, gleaming stone countertops with a huge center island, and all commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner gas range.

This room’s palette of white-washed brick, warm, exposed shelving of honey-colored wood, and rich, navy tile makes it as much a total living environment, as it is a place to create a meal. A roomy seating and gathering area is available for casual conversation, and a larger, eating area with French doors and a Juliette balcony with views to the water, are conveniently located nearby.
The home’s main level also boasts wide-planked knotty hardwood across its open floorplan and into an impressive great room, that provides access to a covered waterside terrace with beamed ceiling detail. A classic, main level study offers cozy seating, great views, and a wet bar.

The upper-level, primary suite is a French country oasis with its oversized windows, stone fireplace, and separate seating area. A fabulous, new primary bath offers a sumptuous soaking tub, gleaming white subway-tile walls, and separate porcelain vanities.
An au pair suite with private access via a back spiral staircase has a lovely landing area large enough to serve as a home office.
The home has seven bedrooms in total and one that sleeps four in a luxurious bunk room is located on the lower level, which is completely finished and offers a large family room with stone fireplace and walk-out to the grounds. The new homeowners will also enjoy a home gym on this level, as well as, a 700-bottle wine cellar, and a swanky, separate seating area with wet bar and cigar humidor.
What else could one ask for? Well, a deep-water dock equipped with a 40,000-pound boat lift, dingy lift, and a floating pier would be nice, and is also there for the sailing. Merci, merci!
