Crab Cakes and Football Historic District

Soak up the vintage charm of this restored property. The house features a private master suite balcony, an open-plan living space, chic eclectic furnishings, exposed brick, a wood burning fireplace, a front garden, and an outdoor back BBQ area. STR# 143754 When we decided to convert to a short term rental I looked at other properties in the area and how they described them. I could tell you the house was built in 1901 and is located in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in historic Annapolis. That's all well and good but to be honest there's a book on the coffee table that will tell you all the history (if you really want to know). I might not know a lot about writing a great summary but after almost 3 decades of living in Annapolis I think I know what people want: 1) Great food and drink! 2) Great location for walking to everything and.. 3) An outdoor area to enjoy the mornings and evenings during any down time. Unfortunately the one thing that can really ruin the fun is PARKING! Well guess what, we've got all the things I listed above and not one parking spot, but TWO (right at your back door!). Don't be fooled when other properties offer you a parking pass. That does not mean you'll be parking near your rental! Enjoy full access to our home. We do not live there so it is not cluttered with "stuff". Consider it a hotel with all the amenities of home! We live 5-10 minutes from the property so you'll have your privacy but we are nearby if you need assistance. We are available by text or calling for any questions or help you may need. The home is in the Art District of Annapolis right in the middle of all the fun. Enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city center during the day and evening, but return to a quiet neighborhood to recharge. Free designated parking for 2 cars. Park upon arrival and you my never need your car again until your departure! No parties. Dogs welcome on a case by case basis.

All about Annapolis

The capital of Maryland, Annapolis sits on the banks of Chesapeake Bay and is known for its historic neighborhoods and 18th-century Colonial, Georgian, and Victorian homes. With its reputation as the sailing capital of the United States, and home to the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis holds several significant historical credentials, including a founding that dates back to 1649. St. John's College, one of the oldest universities in the country, still stands proud on Annapolis soil.

Today, this prosperous East Coast city is known more for its thriving downtown Historic District with boutique shops, galleries, and architectural sites that provide a day of exploration before heading to the Eastport District, where the Annapolis culinary scene emphasizes locally sourced oysters, crabs, and scallops. For nightlife, West Street is where you will find several bars, clubs, and restaurants, many of which regularly host live music on the weekends.

Historic London Town

Located just outside of Annapolis in the town of Edgewater, this 23-acre park is a recreation of a lost 18th-century colonial village that would have been common in the area at the time.
