Experience the best of waterfront living with easy water access to historic Annapolis, Eastport, and the Chesapeake Bay. Perfectly sited in a protected cove on Spa Creek, this turn-key home was designed by architect Gary S. Schwerzler of Fourth Street Design Studio and built by Blueford Contracting. Set on a quarter of an acre and surrounded by lush native landscaping, the property features three east-facing decks, a private pier with water and electric, two boat slips (45' x 16' and 40' x 10'), and a dual kayak dock. Mean low water is over six feet in the larger slip and five feet in the smaller. A piling permit is secured for the narrower slip. Designed to maximize natural light and sweeping water views, the home showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout. A welcoming front porch leads to an oversized walnut entry door and spacious foyer. The main level includes a bedroom with en-suite bath, a home office with built-ins, open-concept living and dining areas, and a modern kitchen with high-end appliances, Corian and granite counters, and a walk-in pantry. Upstairs are two additional en-suite bedrooms, laundry, and a storage room. The waterside primary suite offers its own private deck and a generous walk-in closet. The home has numerous high-end finishes including Hubbardton Forge lighting, heated bathroom floors, extensive custom built-ins, solid-core pocket doors, Brazilian teak floors, and custom nautical steel railings fabricated by M Yacht Services. The walk-out lower level, original to the 1940s cottage, provides ample storage for boating equipment, a workshop, a second laundry, and a flexible finished space ideal for a gym or recreation room. It opens to a patio, a rustic summer kitchen, a half bath, and an inviting outdoor entertaining area—perfect for gatherings and classic Maryland crab feasts. Constructed for visual appeal, durability, and efficiency, the home features IPE decking, Nichiha fiber cement siding, AZEK trim, Marvin windows and doors, geothermal HVAC, tankless hot water, a Honda generator, and a propane fire pit. Ample parking for four vehicles completes this exceptional property. Professional photos and floor plan coming April 2; expected on the market April 3.
