Situated on 1.25 acres with an impressive 220 feet of shoreline, this custom-built (2021) home offers breathtaking water views, a private dock with boat lift, and 8' mean water depth—perfect for boating enthusiasts. Designed for both elegance and comfort, this 4+ bedroom home features two luxurious primary suites—one on the main level and one upstairs—each appointed with a walk in closet and en-suite bathroom with heated floors and towel bars. All bedrooms boast vaulted ceilings, enhancing the home’s airy, open feel. The gourmet kitchen is a showstopper with high-end Thermador appliances, paneled refrigerator and dishwasher, built-in pantry, and a dedicated reverse osmosis water filtration faucet.

Additional highlights include wood flooring throughout, a dedicated home office (or optional 5th bedroom), built-in entryway features, a 2-car garage with electric vehicle chargers, and an efficient 2-zone HVAC system. The expansive backyard offers endless possibilities, while the huge unfinished basement includes a designated area with home gym flooring, abundant storage space, and the potential for future customization. A tankless hot water heater adds to the home’s modern efficiency. No flood insurance required. Community pool membership is available, and the location offers easy access to Annapolis, Washington, DC, and nearby shopping, dining, and entertainment. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a nearly new, thoughtfully designed waterfront home—modern luxury living like this is hard to find and won’t last long.
