2562 Carrollton RoadAnnapolis, MD 21403Price: $6,500,000

A truly iconic Annapolis offering, this extraordinarily rare waterfront estate is gracefully set on 7.5 remarkably private acres, showcasing what may be the most breathtaking panoramic views in all of Annapolis. With endless, horizon-stretching vistas that evoke the feel of an oceanfront retreat, the Chesapeake Bay unfolds before you with the Bay Bridge creating a dramatic backdrop in the distance, while Annapolis' beloved summer sailboat races become part of your everyday scenery. A setting of this magnitude-offering serenity, privacy, and commanding water views-is simply irreplaceable. Encompassing more than 9,000 square feet, this grand residence was thoughtfully designed to maximize its extraordinary setting, with jaw-dropping water views greeting you the moment you step through the front door and drawing your eye through the soaring two-story family room straight to the Chesapeake beyond. The architectural footprint and flow are exceptional, creating the perfect canvas for a visionary buyer to elevate this estate into a world-class showpiece. The main level is anchored by an expansive waterfront primary retreat, a sanctuary unto itself featuring dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath with a jetted soaking tub, oversized skylit shower, separate vanities, a bidet, and a private spiral staircase leading directly to the lower-level fitness and hot tub retreat. Two additional generously sized en suite bedrooms with walk-in closets are also conveniently located on the main level, along with a richly appointed study/library, elegant formal dining room, spacious kitchen with island and breakfast area, plus an additional family gathering space designed for effortless everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, two exceptional en suite bedrooms each offer walk-in closets, fireplaces, private waterfront balconies, and spectacular elevated views that feel suspended above the Bay. The walkout lower level is equally impressive, designed for entertaining and multigenerational flexibility, featuring expansive recreation spaces opening directly to the waterfront patio, plus a fully self-contained in-law or au pair apartment complete with its own kitchen, family room, full bath, separate entrance, and-of course-those same extraordinary views. What sets this offering even further apart is the remarkable future potential already in motion. With public sewer and an extraordinary 7.5-acre footprint, the possibilities are nearly limitless. Seller-approved county plans-transferable to the next owner-dramatically accelerate the vision, including plans for shoreline improvements, tree clearing to further expand views, bank reshaping, revetment enhancements, a new tram and stair access to the pier, a widened driveway with a new entrance feature, a detached guest house with its own private entrance from Lyons Dr, a pickleball court, a gazebo, and additional grounds enhancements. This is more than a home-it is one of Annapolis' most extraordinary legacy properties, offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create an unparalleled waterfront masterpiece.
