The Ultimate Bay

By Lisa J. Gotto

Aforever dream or vacation home awaits the new owners of this nearly 3,000-square-foot, ranch-style residence. Many upgrades and modern updates have already been done to the home which offers one of the most majestic vistas of the Chesapeake Bay via the South River in all of greater Annapolis.

“It was a joy to market this beautifully renovated and maintained home,” says Listing Agent Reid Buckley. “Sitting on a double-wide lot meant panoramic views all the way to the Bay and the seller had invested in a 300-foot heavy duty pier. It was the perfect combination of stunning view, super pier, and great house!” Everything about the interior design of this home has been engineered to take full advantage of its stellar location. The home’s entire back wall has been thoughtfully outfitted with either floor-to-ceiling windows or glass sliders to provide a spacious great room with a sublime visual connection to the waterfront. Skylights placed strategically above allow even more natural light into the space.

This area, which is accented with light hardwood floors, is large enough to split into two separate roomy seating areas. Another highlight of this space is its unique dual-front stone fireplace feature, with one insert facing the waterfront and another facing the formal dining

area. The L-shaped, walkthrough-style kitchen is easily accessible through two separate entries, one from the central entrance hall and one from the great room. With its sleek finishes, all stainless-steel appliances, including a six-burner gas range, and roomy breakfast seating area with its view to the water, this room is certain to be as practical as it is beautiful.

A huge den with its own floor-to-ceiling views off the great room provides home
