Friends Road is a recently updated waterfront home with big South River views and a private, deep-water pier. Located in the Cape St. John community, this home takes full advantage of the waterfront lifestyle. The outdoor spaces are truly magnificent, complete with a spacious composite deck and a separate patio at the water s edge with a hot tub. You can boat to the Chesapeake Bay in less than 30 minutes or to the local waterfront crab restaurant in 5 minutes! The mature landscaping paired with the sweeping views provides the perfect spot for a quiet evening or a social gathering. As you step inside the foyer your gaze is immediately drawn to the water views through the wall of glass across the great room. The main living space is accented by a wood shiplap wall and an energy-efficient pellet stove with a ceramic tile hearth. This space flows seamlessly into the dining area with direct access to the waterside deck. The updated kitchen has a gorgeous center island with industrial style lighting overhead, top of the line appliances, beautiful grey cabinetry, unique hardware, a farm style sink, and built-in shelving for a custom display. The ceramic tile backsplash is in a herringbone pattern and adds the perfect accent to this warm and welcoming space. This level includes a bedroom and a full bathroom. Upstairs, the owner's bedroom suite looks out over the private yard and to the water. There is a walk-in closet space and full bathroom just waiting for finishing touches. The hall has custom built shelving for extra storage. The third bedroom has the same stunning views. There is outside access to a lower level basement for additional storage if needed. The house is on a dead-end street and has a carport for covered car parking. Cape St. John is just off of Riva Road, so there's easy access not only to downtown Annapolis but also to Routes 50 and 97. The community has public water and sewer and offers a boat ramp & waterside playground.
