You know that it’s a rare occurrence when something becomes available in Bay Ridge, just south of Annapolis, but how about a new offering of this cute little cozy cottage on a private lot for under $700,000? Even the most discerning Annapolitan wouldn’t scoff at this lovingly cared for home that sits on an extraordinarily pretty lot just a couple blocks from all the magical wonders of the glorious Chesapeake Bay. Less than 15 minutes away from the City Dock or a quick sail to The Eastern Shore, you’ll have the privacy of this highly desirable established community yet all the conveniences that Annapolis has to offer. The Naval Academy to The Annapolis Town Center. Step inside this traditionally appointed home and you find large rooms and all that classic old world detail throughout. There’s an attic for extra storage, a detached garage, a basement and a giant living room plus an enclosed sunporch out back overlooking a tree studded rear yard. On top of that? And endless supply of tranquility and serenity were you can peacefully stroll through the neighborhood and take in the panoramic views of The Chesapeake Bay Bridge. There’s so much to love here. I would suggest an immediate visit with a pen in hand because these are rare opportunities in this highly desirable community and as they say: "This one won't last...."
