Set on 23 private acres overlooking a gracious bend of the Severn River, just minutes from downtown Annapolis and less than an hour from the nation's capital, lies one of the most distinctive estates offered for sale on the East Coast. Of stunning architectural beauty, this unusual home, modeled after the James River Plantations, is the result of a mammoth and complex renovation that brought it back to its classic Georgian style yet with an acknowledgment of the owners' contemporary tastes and interests.

The attention to detail and emphasis on proportions and craftsmanship are unparalleled. Featuring spectacular 270 degree river views, the extraordinary estate contains a total of seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and eleven fireplaces, formal dining room and formal parlor, commercial size gourmet kitchen, oversized ballroom, conservatory, family room, library, music room, indoor spa, game room, wine cellar, catering kitchen, work shop, a secret vault, nine car garage, roof garden, pool pavilion, 60-foot infinity edge pool, tennis court and direct access by funicular to a 6 slip private dock with boat lift.
