Sophisticated Charmer with Parking & Views of the USNA Chapel Dome

Hello and Welcome to Annapolis! You are going to love this home.

IMPORTANT: if you are inquiring about USNA Commissioning week please send us a request. The instant quote MAY NOT be correct. USNA Commissioning current base rates are $12,000 for the week through 2026, and $13,000 for 2027.

We purchased this home January 2010 and did a complete renovation of the kitchen and Master Suite. We are in the heart of downtown historic Annapolis, steps from the US Naval Academy: a one minute walk to Gate 3, and a 4 minute walk to Gate 1. Walk to City Dock, Ego Ally, Maryland State Capital, Main Street and the heart of the historic district, with dozens of fantastic restaurants, boutiques, museums, live music venues and theaters!

The Navy Marine Corps football stadium is 1 mile away, and a pleasant walk on a nice day (and much faster than driving through the game day traffic!).

We've decorated and furnished the home with a nod to the historic character of the architecture (the home was built in 1890 and added on in 1920). There are built-ins, hidden compartments, detailed moldings, a double staircase, a sun porch looking onto King George Street and a fully stocked "Cook's kitchen." The formal dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and features an antique dining table from the 1920's. Though not entirely "historic" the house does also include wireless internet, basic cable, a DVD player, and a large flat screen TV.

Upstairs, the Master suite was designed with a more modern feel and features a large bathroom (which was featured in Annapolis Home Magazine) and second floor sun porch overlooking the back yard with views towards State Circle. The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom has a pair of twin beds with a view of the Navy Chapel dome! There is also another another recently renovated full bathroom on the 2nd floor.

We have 2 off-street parking spots and a beautifully landscaped backyard with a patio and grill, shady trees and plenty of room for a backyard get together. An additional 2 parking spaces may be reserved by request (seasonal fees may apply).

Mature groups only. This is not a party house. Ideal for family and friends looking for luxury getaway. We look forward to speaking with you!

Great spot!
Perfect location to walk all of Annapolis! Easy to find. Off street parking so you car is safe. Owners are super nice and accommodating. Master bath is terrific. Front closed on porch is the best for hanging out with the windows open. House is well appointed with everything you need to relax and have a great weekend in a great town. We have stayed in 3 VRBOs in Annapolis when we visit and this is the best by far!

Home away from home
Look no further for your home away from home in the best location possible. Our family decided to do a staycation to live the downtown life for a few days. Kristjana went above and beyond. She left scooters in the backyard for our children to play with and had the home stocked with toys. We spent our mornings walking to local coffee shops to get breakfast/coffee to go, eating it at the city dock, then walking over to the nearby playground for the boys to play. Then our evenings were spent enjoying the beautiful backyard. The location does not get any better. The home was decorated perfectly and made us all feel at home. I just can’t say enough good things about the home or host. If I could rate it a 10, I would. Thank you Kristjana for allowing your home to be a place that families and friends can create memories. We can’t wait for our next staycation!!

Commissioning Week '23
Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying here - location can't be beat and parking was an added bonus! Home was clean, comfortable and stocked with amenities. Loved the shaded backyard, which easily accommodated a small graduation party, complete with dining table for 6, an outdoor couch and two seats with ottomans. Kristjana was so thoughtful with leaving a congratulatory note and gift bag upon our arrival. Highly recommend staying here!

Perfectly Quaint
This home and the host immediately made our family feel welcome. You can't get a better location...walk everywhere. We were there to visit with our Mids and it was close to gate one to drive on and even closer for them to walk through the turnstile short cut near T-court at gate three. The beds were so comfy and the kitchen and backyard and porch were perfect for our cook out on the grill. The front sunroom porch was amazing and quiet for morning coffee. We had the best weekend and made great memories. We will be back for sure!

Fantastic USNA 40th Reunion House
Our experience was first rate from the day we checked in. THE house was clean and ready for occupancy and the owners were flexible on the extra space out back for one of our cars. All appliances were modern and the house was very quiet to outside traffic which made it easy to sleep. Beds were comfy.We rented when it was starting to get chilly at night but did spend some time out back on their nice brick patio. I hope to rent again in 5 years for our 45th.

Nice home
The home was beautiful and perfect for our wedding rehearsal dinner. We left the yard in better condition than we found it. Please be aware that the neighbor on the left side of the house (when looking at the house from the street) was extremely rude. She yelled at me while we were getting ready for our rehearsal dinner. She then contacted the owner of the property and which led to her messaging me on my wedding day. This caused a lot of stress. The HOA president also approached my family while we were staying here. The home is in a perfect location for a wedding and is very beautiful. The owner was very communicative. Unfortunately because of the very rude neighbors, I will not be staying here again. It felt like we were under a microscope.

Wonderfully appointed home with perfect location for USNA and City Dock
We loved our stay at this beautiful home. Everything was as described in the listing, except the location - the description does not do it justice - it really is in the heart of it all, without being right on top of the City Dock. The parking is also great. The house is really well equipped and we found everything we needed. The hosts are lovely and very responsive. The backyard was perfect - bring you bocce set!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house is historic and remodeled in a lovely way. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed.
