Welcome to the Land of Pleasant, Waterfront Living! Stay vacations can be your preferred way to get away from it all. Relax and have fun at home from your choice of fishing, boating, crabbing or exploring the rivers and villages surrounding the Cheasapeake Bay. This custom multi-level home situated on protected Spriggs Pond and is only three minutes away from the Magothy River. If you’re a boater, you will appreciate this convenient and well protected location. The bulkheaded river access was recently dredged to 6 feet a few seasons ago and provides easy ingress and egress for large power boats and sailboats alike. Best of all, there are no restrictive speed limitations to contend with vs the upper Magothy river and its creeks. This voluntary HOA community has a boat ramp on Spriggs pond and a beach on the Magothy for a low yearly fee. Extraordinary design meets comfort in this spacious home, the tranquil setting feels like a vacation in your own home while having easy access to Annapolis, Severna Park, DC, and Baltimore.

Direct and level access to your dock/pier complete with water and electric, 3 jet ski lifts and one 8,000 pound boat lift. Decking of pier was replaced two seasons ago with marine quality treated boards. Indoor-outdoor entertaining is seamless with a combination of gracious atrium doors that open to exterior living spaces including a low-maintenance composite deck overlooking a non-tidal wetland, and blue slate patio, perfect spots for outdoor gatherings or nature watches. An awe-inspiring interior is introduced by a dramatic windowed feature wall that invites an inpouring of natural light in the living room with a white cedar cathedral ceiling and gas fireplace overlooking the incredible water views. Prepare delectable dinners in the kitchen appointed with honed granite counters, stainless appliances including an Advantium halogen microwave oven, and adjacent dining area.
