16 Woodlawn Avenue

Tucked into Homewood, just beyond the brick sidewalks of Historic Downtown Annapolis, 16 Woodlawn Avenue is a residence taken down to the studs and rebuilt in 2019, blending all the comforts of modern design with the historic charm of Homewood. A traditional front porch, turned white columns and soft buttery siding announce the home from the street while a long driveway offers the rare luxury of off street parking in one of Annapolis's most walkable in-town pockets. Inside, tall ceilings and recessed lighting set an airy tone against gorgeous oak flooring on the main level and the beautifully refinished original pine flooring on the stairs and level two. The classic period moldings that run throughout remind you that this home has been here for a time as the updates make it seem like a much newer build. The kitchen anchors the main level: white shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances, and granite countertops surround a center island with room for a kitchen table, while a separate formal dining room sits just off the living room for more considered entertaining. A main level powder room, a rare find in homes of this era, provides ease buyers rarely expect from an in-town address. A mudroom tucked off the kitchen doubles as an office also providing space for the pantry, a laundry closet and access to the unfinished basement and backyard. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary suite that is bright, generously scaled, and appointed with an ensuite bath and stall shower. The hall bath is an ode to the age of the home with a refurbished black and white clawfoot tub (with shower) set beneath classic wainscoting. A third floor of floored attic space stands ready as flexible storage today, or a defining feature tomorrow for an owner who wants to finish it into additional living space. Outside, the large, flat, fully fenced yard is anchored by a side patio off the mudroom for grilling and framed by fig trees, with a gate to a rear fenced area and a large storage shed beyond. The location is a defining feature in its own right. Walk to Navy games, boat shows, Wednesday night's "Dinner Under the Stars, and pickup pickleball on West Street, or take a short drive to the boat ramps at Amos Garrett Park or West Annapolis to launch your paddle board or kayak. 16 Woodlawn Avenue isn't just a renovated in-town home. It stands as a premier expression of Chesapeake Bay living at its most walkable and most alive. Be sure to check out the virtual walk through tour!
