917 CHILDS POINT RD, Annapolis, MD, 21401

This exquisite waterfront retreat has all the components of a perfect property: privacy, glorious views down Crab Creek towards the South River, and a WATERSIDE POOL. Best of all? The current owners did a massive renovation with Gate One Builders, creating an incredible open concept main level with floor to ceiling glass overlooking the water. Enjoy the waterfront lifestyle lounging on the patio by the pool or stroll down to the protected, private pier with covered slip and 4 ft water depth. It’s an easy boat ride out to the Chesapeake Bay and a 10-minute car ride to downtown Annapolis or Routes 50 & 97. Step inside #917 and your view is immediately drawn to the sun-drenched two-story great room with stacked stone fireplace and 6” wide maple floors. It’s a difficult choice if it’s prettier in the morning with the sun streaming in or at dusk when the setting sun glimmers on the water. The gracious seating area flows seamlessly to the dining area that is defined by the architectural beams that created the open, light-filled space. There are sliding glass doors across the span so it’s easy to step out to the patio and pool. The Joni Zimmerman designed kitchen features stunning waterfall countertops in Caeserstone, a Wolf 6-burner range with double oven, a lovely combination of glass-fronted and solid custom cabinetry, an entire island – with prep sink – for the sous chefs, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and walk-in pantry. The base cabinets are quarter sawn white oak and create a subtle, yet sophisticated, offset to the white upper cabinets. Every conceivable kitchen gadget will have a home in this kitchen! Around the corner, there’s a walk-in pantry for additional storage, and a full bath with tile floor for guests and family coming in from the pool or a day on the boat. The main level features a separate living room, with fireplace, and waterside deck access. This could easily be converted to a 2nd primary bedroom suite with walk-in closet and private bathroom. The current configuration provides for a bedroom with adjoining bathroom in addition to the living room. Need a home office or exercise room? There is a spacious office overlooking the front garden, with transom windows for additional light. A curved, floating staircase invites you upstairs for more views. The magnificent primary suite upstairs includes a large bedroom with private waterside deck and adjoining sitting area. A beautiful wet bar with an under-counter refrigerator and walnut, prairie-style cabinetry. The spa bathroom is an absolute oasis! The double sink floating vanity has ample storage and walnut cabinetry. The “wet” area includes a whirlpool tub and oversized shower with pebble flooring. Two separate custom closet areas will make everyone happy. The upstairs loft overlook could be an informal office area or reading nook. Two additional water view bedroom suites include spacious bedrooms and upgraded bathrooms. The laundry room is also on this floor. The walk-out lower level provides a game room that opens to the pool, the 5th bedroom, and the 6th bathroom. The huge utility room means even more storage possibilities. Whether you are looking for a private retreat or plan on entertaining a houseful of friends and family, this is truly a very special property.
