1800 River Watch LaneAnnapolis, MD 21401Price: $2,995,000

A rare waterfront setting just off the Severn River, 1800 River Watch Lane is positioned on a private peninsula with more than 450 feet of shoreline along Luce Creek, offering exceptional privacy, sweeping water views and approximately 8 feet of protected deep water at the pier. From here, the Severn River is moments away and downtown Annapolis is an easy boat ride, an extraordinary setting for anyone who wants to make the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle part of everyday life. Approached by a long private drive and circular pea-stone courtyard, the extensively renovated residence sits high above the water, surrounded by mature trees and landscaping. Designed primarily on one level, the home takes full advantage of its elevated setting, with water views filling nearly every room and expansive outdoor living spaces overlooking the creek. At the center of the home, the dramatic living room pairs a wood-paneled cathedral ceiling with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and an entire wall of glass facing the water. Doors open to a broad Ipe deck spanning the waterside of the home, creating a natural extension of the living space. Morning coffee overlooking the creek, dinner outside with friends or an evening in the hot tub all unfold against the backdrop of the water. The open layout continues into the dining and family areas, where cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace and panoramic views create relaxed spaces equally suited to entertaining and everyday living. The adjoining chef's kitchen features marbled Silestone countertops, an extensive suite of Miele appliances, including double wall ovens, warming drawer and induction cooktop, along with a large walk-in pantry. The home's private spaces are equally thoughtful. A dedicated office with built-ins and an adjoining den or bedroom offer flexibility for working from home or accommodating guests. An architecturally distinctive, skylit hexagon hall leads to the bedroom wing and the waterside primary suite, a serene retreat with a gas fireplace, tray ceiling and oversized walk-in closet. The spa-inspired primary bath features a soaking tub positioned toward the view, large walk-in shower, double vanity and private sauna. Two additional bedrooms, including one ensuite, another full bath, separate laundry room and powder room complete the living spaces. Hardwood flooring, generous windows and clean contemporary finishes carry throughout the home, while a well-appointed mudroom connects to the oversized two-car garage. Outside is where the property becomes truly exceptional. The elevated homesite provides privacy and long views across Luce Creek, while a private funicular makes the trip from the house to the shoreline effortless. At the water, a substantial private pier with two boat lifts and approximately 8 feet MLW provides the kind of deep-water access that is increasingly difficult to find. The protected waters of Luce Creek offer an ideal home base for your boat, with the Severn River just beyond and the Chesapeake Bay easily accessible. Spend the morning on the water, cruise into downtown Annapolis for lunch or dinner, or simply enjoy the activity along the creek from the deck above. Despite its remarkably private setting, 1800 River Watch Lane remains convenient to downtown Annapolis as well as major routes to Baltimore, BWI, Washington, D.C. and the Eastern Shore. With its combination of substantial shoreline, protected deep water, immediate Severn River access, privacy and proximity to Annapolis, 1800 River Watch Lane offers a waterfront lifestyle that is increasingly hard to replicate.
