Location: This house, renovated in 2000, is located in the popular neighborhood of Murray Hill in Annapolis, Maryland's beautiful and historic capital. Archwood Avenue, a quiet, four-block street within easy walking and driving distance to all Annapolis offers: the historic district, trendy Uptown West Street, downtown area shops and restaurants, and its scenic harbor. The house is within one-half block to Amos Garrett Park with its dock on the harbor water-taxi route and where dinghies can tie up and residents can launch canoes and kayaks. The Maryland Hall for Arts is four blocks away and nearby is a large playground area and the Chesapeake Children Museum. And, then there are all the outlying areas that the Chesapeake Bay, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore offer.
