Property description
UNDER CONTRACT Tucked away along a quiet private road, 278 Cape Saint John Road greets you with an understated charm that quietly hints at something far more extraordinary beyond. At first glance, the home feels quaint and unassuming—but as you turn onto the driveway, marked by its whimsical dragonfly mailbox, the experience begins to unfold. Surrounded by lush, manicured greenery, the approach is nothing short of enchanting. Towering glass windows at the main entrance reflect the natural beauty that envelops the property, creating a seamless connection between the home and its serene surroundings. Step inside, and you’re immediately captivated by a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling glass wall that frames the expansive living room. Here, soaring cathedral ceilings elevate the space, while an elegant staircase rises gracefully to the second floor, setting the tone for the home’s architectural beauty. Wander further, and the home reveals itself like a collection of carefully curated surprises. Around each corner, a new feature awaits: a stylish wet bar perfect for entertaining, a thoughtfully designed laundry room, a full bath complete with a luxurious soaking tub, two massive rooms you can use your imagination . A secondary staircase adds both convenience and character, leading seamlessly back to the main level. The living spaces are as generous as they are inviting. Three oversized bedrooms offer comfort and retreat, complemented by a newly renovated bathroom and an updated kitchen designed for both everyday living and effortless hosting. Custom closets add a touch of tailored sophistication, while a sun-drenched entertainment room provides the perfect setting for gatherings or quiet afternoons alike. The home’s spacious foyer welcomes you toward the front entrance, where vibrant flowerbeds and mature trees create a natural sense of privacy—an intimate escape that feels worlds away. And yet, this tranquil haven is ideally located just minutes from the charm and energy of Annapolis, with the Cape Saint John community beach and boat ramp just around the corner. This is more than a home—it’s a hidden retreat where elegance, comfort, and nature exist in perfect harmony.
