Asking price: $799,900

1367 Cedar Avenue is a beautifully renovated 4BR/3.5BA craftsman colonial on a corner lot nestled in a quiet corner of the water-privileged community of Arundel on the Bay in Annapolis, MD. The current owners have spent almost $300,000 since they purchased the home in 2005! In 2013 through 2014, the home was majorly renovated with front and rear additions and a new open-concept main level layout with an expanded gourmet kitchen (stainless steel appliances, self & soft close custom cabinets, quartz countertops & custom lighting), a new private home office and mud room area, a new covered front porch and all new exterior finishes including HardiPlank siding, smart-home exterior lighting and fixtures, a new roof and a new dual-zone HVAC system. The basement was also renovated in 2011 with a large family rec room, laundry room, new full bathroom, workshop and a large storage room.

A new custom deck was added in 2017 for enjoying the amazing bay breezes out on the AOTB point. Made with durable Hardiplank, the deck features light-censored fixtures, a built-in grill and storage bar, offering a fabulous additional living area off of the family room that connects the manicured play area and fenced back yard with the rest of the home. The front and back yard were both professionally landscaped in 2019 with a wirelessly controlled built-in irrigation system. The stamped driveway was expanded and redone in 2020 for additional parking and the garage was renovated with built-in organization options for better storage. This home has been designed with ease of living in mind: it is a smart home with a Nest thermostat, Nest video doorbell and automatic front and backyard lighting as well as the wirelessly controlled irrigation system.

The interior finishes have been regularly updated as well! Brand new engineered hardwoods were installed just two weeks ago on the main level! The upstairs and downstairs carpets were also replaced in 2020. Restoration hardware finishes and fixtures can be found throughout the home including in the fully renovated bathrooms and the gourmet kitchen. Fear not during a power outage! A 20kw whole-home backup generator was installed in 2012.

This lovely family home is located on a corner lot of a low-traffic corner of Arundel on the Bay just two blocks away from Fishing Creek. Arundel on the Bay is a water-privileged community with a neighborhood beach overlooking Thomas Point Lighthouse, a community pier with slips available, a boat ramp, a picnic area with kayak racks and a basketball court, a playground, walking paths and community park areas at every street end for neighborhood access to the Chesapeake Bay and Fishing Creek. The community has a voluntary HOA and there are regular community events ranging from community beach parties to paddle board yoga sessions to kid’s movie nights…It is a wonderful community!

LOCATION:

Cedar Avenue is located in the historic Arundel on the Bay community which was founded in 1890 as a summer vacation retreat for wealthy D.C. residents who were headed to the beach before the days of the Bay Bridge.  At the southern most tip of the Annapolis Neck, Arundel on the Bay sticks out towards Thomas Point Lighthouse (built in 1875) and has all the charm of a secluded and private neighborhood, but is still just 10 minutes from the heart of downtown Annapolis.  You can enjoy the faint sounds of the lighthouse fog horn on those rare foggy nights.  The peninsula ends at the mouth of Fishing Creek which is regularly dredged to maintain a 6ft. depth for the Coast Guard station at the back of the creek.  The community beach and pier look over the mouth of the creek and south down the bay.  

Until 1952 when the Bay Bridge was built, Annapolis and it's waterfront suburbs were where the DC elite "went to the beach" for the weekend.  A train line and ferry system from Baltimore made it one of the premiere beach destinations by 1900.  That beach house and resort charm has carried through today…

Arundel on the Bay is a unique neighborhood with a continued sense of community.  All of the neighborhood streets end in neighborhood parks, both on the Chesapeake Bay side of the point and the Fishing Creek side.  There are also neighborhood walking paths along the Bay as well as wooded walking paths across the neighborhood.  Residents are all welcome to use the pier, boat ramp, and community parks and beach, continuing the "beach community" feel of the early 1900s.  While some homes have been renovated or completely rebuilt, some of the original beach homes still stand tall today and still serve as weekend retreats for the original families.
