About this home
Prepare to be captivated by 1486 Downham Market, a striking architectural masterpiece perched on one of the most coveted deep-water lots in Annapolis. Perfectly situated at the mouth of Clements Creek—widely regarded as one of the safest and most protected hurricane holes on the Severn—this estate delivers a rare blend of natural beauty, luxury, and marine excellence. With a commanding 180-foot pier boasting three boat slips, 50-amp power, 40-amp prewire for future expansion, and a reinforced lift-ready piling system, this location welcomes elite vessels such as Hinckley, Viking, Boston Whaler, Pursuit, and Chris-Craft with ease—thanks to 11 feet of mean low water depth and full riparian rights. Step inside this transitional-style waterfront showpiece where sophisticated design meets everyday comfort across three expansive levels. Walls of glass frame jaw-dropping views from nearly every room, while the interior dazzles with clean lines, rich hardwood floors, and designer finishes. The chef’s kitchen is a gourmet dream, featuring commercial-grade stainless appliances, granite countertops, and gas cooking that flows into a sunlit breakfast nook, formal dining room, den, living room, and family room anchored by a dramatic two-sided stone fireplace. Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary all its own—complete with a private sitting room and fireplace, a separate staircase, a custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom that rivals five-star resorts with its skylight, soaking tub, glass shower, and dual vanities. Additional bedrooms include an ensuite and a Jack-and-Jill layout, all drenched in natural light. The walkout lower level impresses with a rec room, wet bar, wine storage, gym, fifth bedroom, full bath, and a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling glass—perfectly prepped for a hot tub retreat. Outdoor living is elevated with expansive multi-level decks overlooking serene waters that open into the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay beyond. A brand-new septic system and cutting-edge water treatment system with reverse osmosis and UV protection ensure comfort and confidence. Located in the prestigious Downs on the Severn—offering two marinas, a clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and easy access to D.C., Baltimore, and historic Annapolis—this is waterfront living without compromise. Welcome to your private paradise, where timeless luxury meets deep-water yachting dreams.
