A rare, sunset orientation opportunity on the South River, 3258 Harness Creek Rd offers the perfect blend of waterfront privacy and amazing downsizing potential. The existing single-level residence on . 63 acre features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal for those looking for one-floor living. The gracious living room overlooks the pool, and the adjoining dining room opens onto the waterside deck. The kitchen and family room have expansive west-facing views out over the South River. This is an incredible opportunity to thoughtfully update within the current footprint or build new with limited expansion potential. The property has a beautiful waterside pool and 109 ft of rip-rapped waterfrontage, with private pier, on the South River. The home’s elevation is ideally located out of the flood zone yet the approach to your pier is a very gentle slope. Located just minutes from downtown Annapolis and Quiet Waters Park, this property is in an area of multi-million dollar homes and combines the tranquility of waterfront living with the convenience of in-town access.
