Charming English cottage vibe on this thoughtfully revived Cape Cod on nicely landscaped lot with lush gardens and friendly fire pit to congregate around. Enjoy the slow and friendly walkers, runners and bikers with no thru traffic of Whitehall Beach reminiscent of times past with a wooden school bus stop. When you turn at St. Margarets' Church and venture past the pastural Hollywood Farm with organic sheep, waterfront estates, and the Sod/Horse Farm on Pleasant Plains, you will find an exhale of peace. Take a left on St. Margarets Road and take a short cut to downtown Annapolis. Main level opens into gorgeous large living room framed with a wood fireplace and rich hardwoods, a kitchen recently redone with GE stainless appliances, double convection ovens, gold rimmed hardware on cabinets and quartz counters set off with a cool built-in seating area. Step down into a full-length all-season sunroom with walls of crank-out Anderson windows where you can work, play and enjoy the tranquil gardens and escape to a side pretty patio under a pergola. Gardeners will love the raised gardens and sunny flat yard but still room for games. Upstairs, the whole level is a magical primary suite with wood beamed ceilings with a work-out area, sitting area, dressing area and private bath. Lower level has a cozy rec room for chilling and a utility/storage area with a craft area. Roof was replaced in 2025 by Landmark Roofing and comes with transferrable warranty. Desired Broadneck Schools. Community access to dock was damaged by a fallen tree and will be repaired in the future. Community is a volunteer social organization with a $75/year contribution. We need a contingency to find home of choice for two weeks or longer depending on buyers timeline.
