HOME REAL ESTATE

Church Creek Contemporary

By Lisa J. Gotto I mpressive, expansive, and high-quality would best describe this 6,000-plus square-foot contemporary home custom-built in 1987. Located in Edgewater, the home offers outstanding views of Church Creek and beyond, and to the South River from a plethora of floor-toceiling windows in the open-plan main living areas. The best-case scenario of indoor/outdoor living options is provided with the home’s beautifully executed and professionally upgraded landscaping, adding a crowning level of detail.

Outside, the 1.9-acre lot is well situated for privacy with an ample population of majestic, mature trees, that at once provide both the water and wooded views most prized by nature lovers. The tree-lined drive to the front door gives the visitor the ultimate first impression, as does the multi-tonal stone façade and multi-level decking.

“Nature is a huge part of the view and not an obstruction,” says the seller’s agent, Scott Schuetter of Century 21, Church Circle, Annapolis.

The new homeowners will have easy access to Church Creek from the property’s 172-foot-long pier that offers multiple slips, as well as a boat lift. Recreational opportunities abound throughout the water-privileged community with its marina and marina club nearby. Inside, the new occupants can enjoy years of longevity in the home as it has a main floor master bedroom suite outfitted with an enviable walk in-closet. Custom beam work and a soaring ceiling treatment lend visual interest in all directions on the main level, as do unique curved staircases, and stretches of wall ready for their cherished works of art.

Three additional bedrooms grace the home, all generous in size. Each bathroom in the home is unique in layout and detail with custom tile work and glass vessel sinks.

The new homeowners intend to build on the home’s good bones with some upgrades that will help further maximize the home’s views of the local waterways.

“The beautiful couple buying the home are hilarious and warm-hearted and made the entire experience very gratifying. I can’t wait to see the finished product and enjoy a cocktail with them as we enjoy the view,” says Schuetter, who adds that the buyer is a Naval Academy grad who is excited to be returning to and living in the area.

The sellers’ agents remarked about the home’s advantageous location on the North Shore of the South River. “An outstanding location for the commuter, while convenient to all that Annapolis and Edgewater have to offer.”

Incredible Craftsman Coastal

By Lisa J. Gotto O pen up and say, “Wow!” This home in the highly desirable community of Bay Ridge, is exquisitely updated to reveal a warm and wonderful place to not just live, but dwell. With three finished floors, more than 3,000 square feet of indoor living space, and lovely landscaped grounds, this is the epitome of what is meant by the adage, “Home Sweet Home.”

Inside, the main floor aesthetic is clean, light, and bright with a combination of eco-friendly bamboo hardwood and Brazilian cherry wood on the floors and an all-white kitchen with a white brick backsplash and white marble countertops; a true cook’s dream. The main floor flows effortlessly from one well-conceived room to the other, and includes a separate entryway, large living and dining areas, and a screened-in three-season room just off the dining space. This room acts as an additional large living area with generous dimensions for entertaining and a dining area that seats six. Its large windows flood the space with light and offer tranquil views of an idyllic wooded lot that includes a charming tree house. The home also offers two generous spaces for home offices; one off the main level.

“This house was built in 2007 and the sellers had a lot of input into the original design,” says seller’s agent, Sarah Greenlee Morse of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Annapolis. “The home has been meticulously maintained and the kitchen was completely renovated in recent years.”

The second-floor master is also large and light, and offers a spacious walkin closet with custom built-in storage shelving and racks—a wardrobe collector’s dream! There’s ample space for side-chair reading and a wellequipped master bath. Three additional generous bedrooms, two full baths, laundry facilities, and another office complete this floor.

Extended stay guests will be well-accommodated and family visits will be a breeze with the home’s totally finished and spacious third-floor in-law suite or au pair quarters.

Probably the primary amenity offered by the home is its superb, private location within the highly-regarded lifestyle community of Bay Ridge. As members of the community, the new homeowners will enjoy access to the Bay Ridge marina, its private beaches, club house, community pool, not to mention access to the Bay via Lake Ogleton.
