Experience a South River Sunrise
By Lisa J. Gotto Photography by Michele Sheiko
There’s just no better feeling than saying, “I’m home,” and this pretty Annapolis residence will certainly have its new owners saying that. Blissful vistas across the South River from a hammock out back shaded by tall trees is what this property is all about.
Inside, architectural symmetry, balance, and proportion set this 5,000 square-foot home apart. At the heart of the home you find an award-winning central staircase framed with wood slat boards and cupola detail above. More than 100 windows throughout the home wash its neutral palette with natural light. Exquisite woodwork and built-ins trimmed in white provide a clean, airy feel and lend sophistication to the home’s main floor.

$2,250,000 Bedrooms: 4 Baths: 3 Full, 1 Half Living Space: 5,070 sq. ft. Lot Size: 0.55 acres
An all-white custom kitchen offers a series of double windows with insets providing the perfect view for meal prep. Most appliances are concealed behind custom cabinetry and the eat-in area is spacious and covered in honey-colored hardwoods. Above, you’ll find coffered ceiling detail in the kitchen and adjacent dining room, with its series of interest-lending built-in bookshelves.
Each of the four bedrooms are spacious and offer special features such as separate seating areas and reading nooks. The master suite bath features a
large Scandinavian-style soaking tub, an enormous walk-in shower, and dual vanity with custom cabinetry and marble countertops.
Outside, the property features lush landscaping with many raised flowering beds, three waterside porches, and an area especially designed for hammock lounging.

Many Views, One Exceptional Home
By Lisa J. Gotto
This custom home is purposefully designed to provide incredible views from not just one body of water but three! Uniquely located near the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay, South River, and Fishing Creek, this property offers exceptional architectural details within the home and outdoor features that provide the complete lifestyle package for any water-loving homeowner.
Inside, a soaring two-story entry welcomes you to a main level living area flooded with natural light from sparkling walls of glass, imported Italian porcelain tile floors, and, of course, those stunning water views. Just past the light and airy library, you enter the home’s great room where walls of windows beckon you outside to the adjacent two-level deck overlooking the property’s private yard, as well as a pier, and private sandy beach with natural dunes and grasses. Primary Structure Built: 1990 Sold For: $2,000,000 Original List Price: $2,095,000 Bedrooms: 4 Baths: 3 Living Space: 3,200 sq. ft. Lot Size: 0.42
Back inside, the great room features a rustic stone-front hearth and flows with its lovely views into a generous dining area. A gourmet custom kitchen with rich-toned cherry cabinetry is a dream to cook in with its top-of-the-line appliances, including a spacious sideby-side refrigerator, a warming drawer/ microwave combo, and a double oven featuring one standard and one convection oven. A conveniently designed curved center island and a backsplash of gorgeous tumbled-stone complete the room’s fine finishes.
This home’s main level also provides two generous bedrooms with exquisite water views
and a shared bath. The master bedroom suite is located on the upper level. Designed as the perfect retreat, the room features a wall of glass opening to a private deck overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. The master bath offers a two-person Jacuzzi with ceramic tile surround, separate shower, a vanity with dual sinks, and a separate water closet with a window on the Bay. The suite also offers a huge walk-in closet that provides all the space a shoe collector could ever ask for. Additionally, this level offers a fourth bedroom with a private bathroom.
Outside, the property offers 77 feet of waterfrontage with five-plus feet of water depth and a pier with a lift capable of handling a 15,000-pound boat. When you’re not out on the water you can be enjoying the natural world of Thomas Point Park, which is just a short walk away. Here you’ll find an abundance of wildlife including 22 exceptional species of birds. This is truly a home that offers a vacation feel every day of the year!
