Set back off the road on a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Saefern community, this contemporary home offers peaceful water views, a private wooded setting, and endless potential to make it your own. Whether you're looking to move right in and enjoy the home as it is or reimagine the space into your dream retreat, this property presents an incredible opportunity in one of Annapolis' most sought-after waterfront communities. Designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the home is filled with light and features soaring ceilings, warm wood architectural details, and expansive windows that bring the outdoors in. The dramatic living room is anchored by a striking brick fireplace and flows into the dining area and kitchen, creating an inviting space for gathering. Three sets of sliding glass doors open to the expansive balcony, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living while framing peaceful water and woodland views. Just beyond, the enclosed porch with vaulted ceilings provides a year-round place to relax while taking in the peaceful water and woodland views. The thoughtfully designed main level offers two bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a private sitting area and ensuite bath, along with a second bedroom that is served by a full hall bath, ideal for guests, family, or a home office. The walkout lower level expands the living space with a generous family room featuring a second fireplace, a built-in bar area, and access to the adjoining sunroom and patio, creating the perfect setting for entertaining. Two additional bedrooms are located on this level, including one with a private ensuite bath and private patio. An additional bedroom offers flexible accommodations for guests or multigenerational living. Life in Saefern is about much more than the home itself. Membership in the renowned Saefern Saddle & Yacht Club (SSYC) includes a boat slip, marina, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, horse stables, dog park, playground, and an active community lifestyle. Just minutes from Historic Annapolis, the U.S. Naval Academy, shopping, dining, and convenient commuter routes to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, this is a rare opportunity to invest in a home with outstanding bones, water views, and the chance to create something truly special. Welcome Home!
