Summary:
This charming 5 BR (3x true bedrooms and 2x basement rooms with bunk beds) home is conveniently located in Annapolis' Germantown neighborhood, ony two blocks from Navy's Navy-Marine Corps stadium! We've decorated it with USNA decor as well as art honoring the squadrons I've served in (HSM-51, HSM-60, HSM-40, and HSM-41)!
Perfect for Navy sporting events and boat shows, this home is also only an 8 min drive to USNA, Downtown Annapolis (aka "DTA") as well as the Annapolis Mall.
The Space:
This is a 3 floor property (1st floor, 2nd floor, basement) and guests have access to the entire home. The basement is partially refinished.
Guests will enjoy 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. There is one bedroom on the 1st floor with a king bed included - perfect for multi-generational groups if some folks are not able to walk up a full flight of stairs to the 2nd floor. The 1st floor bathroom is unique in that the entire space becomes the shower (see photo). Upstairs guests can enjoy another king bedroom with Smart TV and ensuite bathroom. The ensuite bathroom includes a large jacuzzi bathtub - perfect for relaxing during your stay. The 2nd floor's non-primary bedroom has a queen sized bed in it with a chest of drawers - perfect for guests staying with us for more than a few days. It also has a smaller ensuite bathroom with a shower tub. There is also a full sized washer and dryer on the 2nd floor - between the two bedrooms.
The basement has two rooms which we label as bedrooms since there are bunkbeds in both of them - a fully finished room and a partially finished room. The fully finished room has a sleeper sofa and "twin over twin" bunk beds with a smart TV and a kitchenette - a sink and a full sized refrigerator. The partially finished room has a "twin over full" set of bunk beds - perfect for teenagers / kids. There is also a foosball table in this room as well. It does have direct access to the yard from a door in this room. There is a powder bathroom in the basement (sink and toilet) but guests will need to walk upstairs to use the shower. Please note - guests sleeping in the partially finished room in the basement will need to walk through the fully finished room to access a restroom and the rest of the house.
The first floor has two dining areas separated by the kitchen. The first dining area is to the right as you walk into the house. It has two barstools and four "high top" style chairs on a kitchen table. There is a separate dining room table on the other side of the kitchen that seats six. The living room is next to the dining room and has a sleeper sofa that seats 3 people. There is also a desk just to the right of the stairs as you enter the property that is perfect for folks working from "home!"
The entire property is fenced in, perfect for guests with dogs. Please ensure you clean up after your furry friends.
There is a covered outdoor porch to the side of the home that makes early mornings with a cup of coffee or late evenings with a glass of wine a relaxing way to enjoy the ambiance of Annapolis. It has benches, adirondack chairs, a couch, as well as a table and chairs - perfect for outdoor dining starting for the spring through the fall!
There is free street parking in front of the house. Spaces are usually readily available but not guaranteed. Please be respectful of neighbors when parking. It is recommended that guests bring no more than 2 cars so that they don't block spaces in front of neighbors' houses.

Annapolis' Germantown neighborhood is wonderful! There are tons of restaurants, bars, and boutiques on West St which is two blocks away.
Walk along the old brick sidewalks much as George Washington or Thomas Jefferson did in the days when Annapolis was the capital of the United States. Architecturally, Annapolis boasts some of the finest 17th and 18th century buildings in the country – including the residences of all four Maryland signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Annapolis is the home of the United States Naval Academy, founded in 1845, and of St. John's College, the third oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.
Stroll along our waterfront and enjoy the charm of our City Dock. Watch the boats as they cruise our famous Ego Alley. Sit on the seawall and watch the sailboat races as they return to the harbor and see why Annapolis is “America’s Sailing Capital.”
Getting Around:
There isn't solid public transit in Annapolis. Guests should either rent a car or (even better) use car sharing options such as taxis or uber / lyft services.

Interaction with Guests:
We always have a team member in the greater Annapolis area available to assist. I personally live 15-20 minutes away and can assist when in town. I have a property manager who helps me and she lives about an hour away. One of us should be available to help in case of an emergency although it could us several hours to arrive on site if we are otherwise indisposed.
