This neo-traditional, Shingle style cottage is nestled into a small, private waterfront community in Annapolis' Eastport neighborhood. With sensitivity to the scale of the homes surrounding it, its siting maximizes both privacy and water views. The house and garage are sited to create both an entrance courtyard and a private garden and terrace. The steeply sloped roof, dormers, over-hanging gable ends, turret-like bay windows, and massive chimney all reference a cottage-like feeling appropriate to the turn-of-the-century working-class character of Eastport. Complementing its form as a waterman's cottage, the feel of this home is relaxed and unassuming. Its spaces speak of a simplicity of life that goes back in time, yet remains current.
