This like-new coastal style home in the Murray Hill section of Annapolis offers three floors of exquisitely updated living space, starting with a precious front porch outfitted with a white picket railing and new Trex floorboard decking.

Stepping across the threshold, one immediately notices a clean, crisp layout with rich, dark hardwood floors and many custom touches including plantation shutters, crown molding and an open floorplan that uses a glamorous custom wall of built-ins that melds the generous living and dining space with the kitchen.

This striking feature offers upper glass-front cabinetry and a large pass-through to the home’s bright-white custom kitchen. This room offers the optimal combination of style and function with its contrasting, misty-blue center island with gleaming white quartz countertop, a famous maker gas range, and white, panel-front appliances and matching cabinetry. There’s plenty of additional counter space, a sleek farmhouse sink, and a wine fridge located conveniently near the sliders that lead to the residence’s back deck and yard.

The opposite side of the kitchen flows into a coastally casual family room with a cozy, gas fireplace and large, bow window that adds a wealth of natural light. A main level laundry room and brand-new powder room complete this floor.
