In the heart of the Eastport Peninsula, this 2,300-square-foot, Cape Cod classic home built in 1997, boasts a gorgeous cedar shingle exterior and marvelously updated floorplan with many contemporary upgrades, which are noted as soon as you cross the threshold.

Rich, hardwood floors greet you immediately at the entry, which steps down to the left into a sumptuous sunken living room where a central, wood-burning fireplace with dramatic marble surround takes center stage. Crisp, white walls are enhanced by a wealth of natural light brought in from a series of large sash windows with accent panels above, and a set of French doors on the opposite wall.

This home’s new residents will enjoy stepping up into an additional seating area that is located behind the fireplace, which opens on one side to reveal another main level living space perfect for a home office. This room offers nice square footage to accommodate a desk and separate seating area. It is designed with a glass panel access door to the deck, plus another set of French doors that provide this space with tons of restorative, natural light.

The additional seating area leads down the hall to the home’s light-and-bright formal dining room, and then into the sunny kitchen with its vaulted ceiling detail and rich, maple cabinetry. This room’s crisp, white backsplash tiles work well with its contrasting dark countertops and all-stainless-steel appliances. The additional seating area leads down the hall to the home’s architecturally enticing staircase to the upper levels.

On the third level, the home boasts a roomy, carpeted loft area that works so well with the complementary placement of upper-level windows, providing the space with great natural light. This is the perfect place for yoga, creative arts, or additional office space.

Heading back downstairs, the home offers multiple access points to its large, surrounding deck with built-in bench seating, and to a lush backyard well-suited for the playtime adventures of young children.

This residence is just steps from the end of the street and a waterfront park, where the new homeowners will be able to hop into the creek via kayak or paddle board. And with just a short walk to Annapolis via the Eastport drawbridge, this home is a prime example of what coastal contemporary living can look like.
