Overview
Victorian Elegance Meets Coastal Charm in Annapolis! Experience timeless beauty and modern comfort at this extraordinary custom home in the highly sought-after waterfront community of Hillsmere Shores. This architectural treasure features four expertly designed levels, showcasing HardiePlank siding, Azek trim and decking, walls of windows with water views on the upper levels, oversized Marvin aluminum-clad windows and doors, and impeccable millwork throughout. With its ideal Southern exposure, the home is bathed in natural light that streams through tall windows, highlighting gleaming hardwood floors and intricate staircase spindlework. The main level is thoughtfully designed for both comfort and entertaining, featuring a warm and welcoming parlor with a marble-surround gas fireplace, a cozy family room with a wood pellet stove, and a guest bedroom with a peak of the water accompanied by a stylish full bath. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, complete with crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a coffee bar, and ample pantry storage. French doors lead out to the alluring screened porch with Azek decking, the side yard, and the huge deck complete with a sunken hot tub.
