With sweeping views of the Severn River stretching to the Chesapeake Bay, 2 River Drive captures the very essence of the Annapolis waterfront lifestyle. Perfectly positioned on the shoreline in the cherished, multi-generational community of Bay Ridge, this exquisitely renovated residence artfully balances historic character with thoughtful modern refinement. From the leaded glass windows to the brass chandeliers, original architectural details have been beautifully preserved and enhanced, creating a home that feels both timeless and elevated.

The heart of the home is the breezy waterside three-season porch on the main level, where panoramic views and salty air set the scene for effortless entertaining, afternoon lounging, or peaceful waterfront naps as boats pass across the Bay. Just off the porch, the inviting living room equipped with a wood-burning fireplace flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, offering an elegant layout for holidays, celebrations, and intimate dinners.

The newly renovated chef’s kitchen blends beauty and function with painted inset cabinetry, white marble countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, a breakfast area, and serene views of the water and rear gardens. Adjacent to the kitchen, a well-appointed mudroom and pantry with restored cabinetry includes a custom dog wash, powder room, and convenient laundry, thoughtfully designed for everyday waterfront living. 

The main level also offers two flexible bedrooms or offices, along with a full bath and a half bath. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with a sitting room, private balcony, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath. Two additional bedrooms with lovely water views, and two fully renovated baths complete the upper level.

Above the oversized garage, a private guest suite or office with hardwood floors, kitchen, and full bath offers ideal accommodations for extended family or long-term guests.

Outdoors, the original screened gazebo may quickly become your favorite place on earth, perfect for summer crab feasts and hosting friends. The exceptionally private lot is framed by lush, mature landscaping and generous hardscaping designed for dining, grilling, and savoring the sweeping waterfront vistas. Geothermal heating and a waterproofed, full-height walk-out basement with exceptional storage add comfort and practicality to this remarkable offering.

Life in Bay Ridge is as extraordinary as the home itself. Known as one of Annapolis’ most sought-after and amenity-rich communities, residents enjoy private beaches, a large marina with a renovated clubhouse, playground, pickleball and basketball courts, ball fields, and a stunning waterside pool with a reservable clubhouse. The pool bond conveys. Signature annual traditions, from the iconic Blue Angels flyover to the beloved Fourth of July beachside parade, make this neighborhood vibrant, connected, and deeply special.

Just minutes from downtown Annapolis and Eastport, with convenient access to major commuter routes, this non-riparian waterfront home offers not just a place to live, but a way to live.

This is an exceptional opportunity to experience Chesapeake Bay living at its finest. Here, the rhythm of the tides sets the pace, and every day feels like a return to summer on the water.
