COMING SOON - expected on the market September 30th. Attractive Lower Eastport opportunity: beautifully updated, semi-detached home with a fully fenced backyard and detached cottage with proven rental income.
Enjoy the charm and walkability of Lower Eastport from this 2007-built home on a peaceful, tree-lined street just two blocks from the harbor and close to parks, restaurants, shops and the waterfront. The property offers over 3000 square feet of living space between the main house and the cottage. Two dwellings make up a unique configuration that allows an exceptional degree of flexibility and privacy.
Enter the main residence through a classic Eastport front porch, perfect for rocking chairs and enjoying views of the neighborhood. The home features three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, a separate dining room, and an open kitchen adjoining a spacious living room. Sliding doors extend the living space to a covered porch overlooking the fenced backyard.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a large walk-in closet and adjoining newly renovated bath. A second bedroom with its own hall bath provides privacy for family or guests. Custom plantation shutters throughout the main and top floors add a polished finish and privacy.
About 800 square feet of living space on the lower level is currently configured as a family/TV room and third bedroom. Also downstairs are a full bath, laundry, and several storage spaces. This area can be accessed from the interior as well as from its own entrance to the back yard, which allows for added privacy.
At the rear of the property is the true standout: a stand-alone 670 square feet, one bedroom, one bath cottage licensed for full-time rental use. Extensively renovated in 2025, the cottage features LVP flooring, kitchen cabinetry, full-size appliances and an updated bathroom. Recently rented for $2,935 per month and garnering more than $35,000 annually, the cottage will be vacant at closing, giving the next owner the flexibility to rent it, use it for family or guests, create a private home office, or accommodate multigenerational living.
The current owners have invested more than $100,000 in property upgrades over the past 18 months including new and updated baths; the cottage remodel; extensive electrical, lighting, and hardware upgrades; replacement A/C; interior and exterior painting; and landscaping. Ample street parking, with no parking fees for visitors, is available at this quiet residential end of Eastport. The property’s location between First and Second Streets is approximately two blocks from both Horn Point and Spa Creek. This offers the best of the neighborhood’s relaxed waterfront lifestyle while also remaining close to some of the best restaurants in Annapolis and just over the bridge from downtown Annapolis.
This attractively updated Eastport home, complemented by a rentable cottage, presents a unique and appealing opportunity in one of Annapolis’s most popular neighborhoods.
