Abundantly charming cottage (circa 1937), tucked away in an established neighborhood of Annapolis bordered by waterfront homes on Spa Creek. Main level includes living room, dining room, kitchen, family/entertaining room and full bath. Upstairs consists of two nicely sized bedrooms and another full bath with original exposed brick. The master bedroom boasts a beamed cathedral ceiling and a peek to the creek through its stunning wall of windows. Don't forget to check out the unfinished lower level with its full sized washer and dryer and ample storage. Generous outdoor areas include front lawn, several mulch beds, front porch & swing, back deck with ample seating, and a beautiful koi pond replete with fish. Walk less than a block down the street and cross the winding bridge over Spa Creek to Truxton Park, where the new outdoor pool is currently underway and open this summer. Stroll the trails of the park, or wander down to the Childrens Museum and take the trails that guide you into the heart of the city. Walk to Ms Shirley's for a Sunday brunch, or Carpaccio for dinner al fresco. Open Saturday & Sunday from 1-3!
