$3.35 Million Waterfront Estate Hits the Market on Spa Creek
1928 historic home sits on over half an acre of property in Murray Hill
ANNAPOLIS (July 25, 2016) –Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Travis Gray of the company’s Annapolis Church Circle office has listed 11 South Acton for $3.35 million in the historic neighborhood of Murray Hill. Situated on a waterfront lot on Spa Creek, the residence features stunning views from nearly every room.
The architecture of the home reflects that of a 20th Century Dutch Colonial Revival. The house was built in 1928 by Theodore W. Johnson Jr., who, according to legend, would partake in a daily ritual of swimming from the property’s access on Spa Creek all the way to City Dock. The home is a result of the September 30, 1891 sub division of the original 95.5-acre Murray Hill estate. The estate was owned by the relatives of James D. Murray, who had inherited the 1770 Georgian Colonial, Acton Hall. Today, the Murray Hill estate’s original spring house is located on Acton Hall’s property, one of very few remaining similar structures in the area.
While maintaining the original character of the home, the residence underwent major renovations in 2005. Featuring hardwood floors and tall ceilings throughout, the home boasts crown molding, an in-law apartment with a private entrance and added privacy in the cul-de-sac location.
The tri-level home encompasses four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and one half-bathroom. The gourmet kitchen offers an open-floor plan with a butler’s pantry, breakfast bar, island, farmhouse sink, granite countertops and views of the yard. The master suite features a private terrace with water views, a fireplace, soaking tub, double vanity and a walk-in closet.
“It’s very rare to find a waterfront property with this much land in Murray Hill. The home has a lot of historic character that has been very well preserved by its owners over the years, while still providing the luxury upgrades that would be expected in a home at this price point,” said Travis Gray.
A private dock and boat lift offer direct access to Spa Creek and Severn River.
