Charming 1926 Four Bedroom Home w Ample Parking

A centrally located home that exceeds all needs and comfort or your family. Both cozy and spacious from well thought out additions, modifications. Maintains its original 1926 feel and Annapolis stylings with tasteful upgrades. Large private off-street parking court, spacious yard and gardens. It will feel like home the moment you arrive.

The home was originally built in the "Four Square" style in 1926 on a larger than average neighborhood lot. It has been recently enlarged and renovated with original details kept where possible and replicated with the new construction. The floorplan has been modified to a more open-air design.
House has 1 master bedroom with private bath, 2 charming bedrooms and the loft bedroom. There is a hall bath and a powder room for these rooms.
The front door opens to an open floorplan of foyer, living room and dining room with the power room just down a short hallway. The hallway and dining room open into the kitchen/sitting area passing a large pantry and coffee nook on one side and an alcove with side door on the other. The kitchen is spacious with an L shaped island with barstools, and plenty of cabinets and counter space. The room has almost all glass along the walls which makes you feel like you're in the gardens. The sitting area in the kitchen feels like a sunroom. Back to the front foyer...the open "L" shaped stairs take you to the second floor where two of the bedrooms are right at the top of the stairs along with the hall bath. Also on the second floor is the laundry room, an office nook and the master bedroom. Spiral stairs take you to the spacious loft, which is alsothe third room . I left the wall sheathing of the original house exposed in the spiral stairwell which acts as both an accent wall as well as exposing past framing techniques.
The grounds are well maintained with brick patio, flagstone and brick walks and gravel driveway. The yard and gardens are quite lush, especially during the prime seasons. There is an old garage nestled into the gardens in the rear of the property.
We are in a most charming neighborhood with sidewalks and streetlights and has an eclectic mix of homes and mature trees. The sidewalks have been recently repaired and the streets resurfaced.
The neighborhood is the most centrally located area in Annapolis being just minutes from the historic district in one direction and major shopping district in the other while right among a full variety of shops and restaurants, as well as a brand-new library and the Navy stadium which has a paved trail of approximately four miles. Tawes Gardens with a manmade but naturalized pond and gardens are a block over from the stadium. Eastport and West Annapolis also very close, both are communities with interesting shops and charming homes.
From our neighborhood of Homewood, there are multiple means of access in and out of the community, close access to roads in and out of Annapolis and easy access to all the points of interest in town.
And lastly, there is the charming wooden front porch to relax, surrounded by variety of shrubs and perennials, where you can and enjoy the quiet and to say hello to the dog walkers, bicyclists, joggers and immediate neighbors.

You have access to the house, yard. and driveway. The garage and basement would be private since it’s mostly storage anyway. The house will hopefully feel like it’s your space. The back of the house on the first floor is a kitchen and sunroom combination with a lot of windows, a panoramic view with gardens surrounding you. The master bedroom is quite large with a full bath. The house feels both cozy and spacious.

My main goal is for guests to enjoy their time at the house. So I’ll tend to leave you be and I’ll be around to do upkeep and maintenance on the house and gardens. My intent is for the house to be your space so I would announce if I need to come inside the house for any reason. Feel free to approach me when you see me and I’ll also be available by phone. I’d love to share with you what I know of Annapolis, places to eat, things to see.

The neighborhood is an eclectic mix of homes going back as far as the end of the 1800s, with most of the homes built in the early to mid 1900s. It is a quiet neighborhood with a bike trail created from an old train route. The Naval Academy stadium is at the north end of our street and we are just four houses down from the stadium. West Street is at the south end of our street and is the main corridor running from the historic district to the east and the main shopping distric to the west. Wide variety of shopping, restaurants and services along West Street as well.

There is always ample street parking in front of the house. Even though there is a driveway, there are also numerous vehicles and trailers so please park in the street to avoid blocking anyone in. There is bus shuttle, Uber, taxi and electric cart shuttle service available from our neighborhood. Walking from house to the historic district waterfront could take about 20 minutes or so, and with shops and restaurants along the way.

- The neighborhood is and has been quite safe, you will see a lot of walkers, joggers, dogs, bicyclists, etc.
- Annapolis in general has always struggled with parking BUT this neighborhood has available street parking all the time and you have one of the largest private driveway in the community.
- I won't be on the premises all the time, I don't want you to feel any unnecessary intrusion. I won't enter the house without announcing myself via text or knocking unless there is an emergency. I will be on and off the premises for lawn mowings, yard maintenance, etc. I also will also have free access to the basement and garage. Feel free to approach me anytime I am around. I will send you my mobile number so you can reach me any time.
- Self check in and self check out. I will send texts with information related to check in, check out, keys for front door, etc.
- Please don't make any assumptions if something is unclear, contact me first.
- Please confirm any texts I send, that will let me know you got the information so I can relax.
- The house will be clean with fresh linens on the beds. I won't be doing house cleaning during your stay, that will be up to you to wash linens and clean as you care to. I will have a cleaning outfit come in after check out. Let me know if you'd like to pay for additional cleanings throughout your stay.
- Let me know of anything you need, I'll help if I can.
