Tucked away in a private, wooded setting within the sought after water access community of Cape St. Claire, 778 Wingate Drive presents an exciting opportunity to create a home that is truly your own. Set on approximately 0.6 acres and surrounded by mature trees, this four bedroom, two bathroom rancher offers a hard to find combination of privacy, space, and single level living just minutes from everything the Annapolis area has to offer. Inside, hardwood flooring and an open layout provide a warm foundation with plenty of potential. The main living area is anchored by a wood burning fireplace and flows into the kitchen, creating a comfortable central space ready for a new owner’s vision. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the main level, making the ranch style floor plan appealing for everyday living and those looking for the convenience of fewer stairs. The unfinished lower level significantly expands the possibilities. With a fourth bedroom, dedicated storage room, and a large open area, there is plenty of room to create additional living space, a recreation room, home office, gym, workshop, or whatever best suits your needs. Whether making improvements immediately or over time, the home provides an opportunity to personalize the property while building value along the way. Outside, two decks extend the living area into a peaceful natural setting. The 0.6 acre homesite is surrounded by woods, creating a sense of seclusion rarely found this close to Annapolis. There is ample room to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the privacy of your own backyard. Cape St. Claire offers a lifestyle that extends well beyond the property itself. Residents enjoy access to community beaches and parks, three marinas, piers, a boat ramp, clubhouse, and plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy the water. Shopping, dining, schools, and everyday conveniences are located right within the community, while nearby Cape St. Claire Park offers trails, athletic fields, and additional recreation. With Downtown Annapolis and the rest of the Broadneck Peninsula within easy reach, the location brings together waterfront recreation, neighborhood convenience, and easy access to everything the Annapolis area has to offer. For someone looking for a rancher with room to make it their own, more than half an acre of wooded privacy, and access to one of the Annapolis area’s most beloved water access communities, 778 Wingate Drive is an opportunity filled with possibility.
