Welcome to this elegantly appointed historic home located on Charles Street in Historic Annapolis. Built sometime between 1880 and 1885 by the Cobbler from the U. S. Naval Academy, this stunning home stands proud as an homage to the Italianate style in which it was built. A few houses in from Duke of Gloucester, this home is centrally located where you can walk to all the shops and eateries with ease but manages to be a quiet spot at the same time. Enter the home through the charming vestibule and center hall boasting tall ceilings and beautiful colonial moldings. Enjoy hosting guests in your spacious contemporary gourmet kitchen featuring a large kitchen island, custom tile backsplash, granite counter tops, stainless appliances and sleek white cabinetry. Several skylights and architectural picture windows offer a tremendous amount of natural lighting. Many of the historical features of the home have been preserved including the hand carved banister with decorative scroll stair brackets and two non-working fireplaces. From the gracious rooms featuring hardwoods throughout the 3.5 finished levels, to the 5 bedrooms and upgraded bathrooms, you will have plenty of space for everyone. The homeowner added a bedroom level laundry for convenience and there is an additional laundry hook up in the basement. You will find ample space for storage in the basement as well. This property is perfect for entertaining from the kitchen that flows nicely into the family room to the private fenced brick courtyard and garden with mature trees. Host your guests for an outdoor dinner party under the stars. Don't want to cook? Main Street is only a block away. Stroll to "Duck Park" at the bottom of the street to gather with neighbors, hop on the water taxi or launch your kayak or paddle board. Live the elegant life of Annapolitans of a bygone era with all the conveniences of the modern world. There is a reason Annapolis is voted one of the top places to live time and again.
