Built in 1881 for Commodore James Waddell and his wife Ann (read Sea of Gray by Tom Chaffin and/or The Accidental Pirate (attached in documents) to learn more about the historical significance) this Queen Anne revival/Craftsmen style brick and beam constructed home is built to impress! Located on the corner of Prince George St and College Ave across from St. John’s College campus this home is in the heart of Annapolis within walking distance of shops and restaurants but far enough away to be a serene and peaceful setting. Enjoy exquisite original details throughout the home including elaborately carved woodwork, oversized coved moldings, 12’+ ceilings, hardwood floors, built-ins, ornate brass hardware and 3 working fireplaces converted to gas for convenience.

The oversized Foyer is a perfect space for enjoying cocktail hour while a wonderful dinner is prepared in the well-equipped Gourmet Kitchen with tons of cabinets, high-end appliances and impressive butler’s pantry; and then served in the exquisite formal Dining Room with fireplace, huge windows, soaring ceilings and a portrait of the original owner watching over the festivities. Completing the main level is a private side entrance with mudroom, laundry room area, Full Bath adjacent to DR and rear enclosed porch currently functioning as a rotating art gallery. The upper level boasts more beautiful detailing with built-in cabinets, hardwood floors, and high ceilings.
