Welcome to 220 West Street in Annapolis, Maryland. A rare, fully gut-renovated detached property located in the heart of the Downtown Arts District at a row home's price, offering exceptional flexibility with mixed-use zoning that allows for both residential and commercial use. Completed in 2024, this property has been completely transformed from top to bottom. Every major system and finish has been replaced, delivering a true turnkey opportunity for buyers seeking lifestyle, investment potential, or business use in one of the most walkable and desirable areas in Annapolis. Unlike the majority of Downtown Annapolis properties, this is a fully detached home, not a rowhome or townhouse, providing enhanced privacy, natural light, and a more versatile footprint. The extensive renovation includes a brand new roof, all new electrical and plumbing systems, a new high-efficiency mini-split HVAC system, redesigned floor plan, new flooring throughout, updated lighting, and fully rebuilt kitchen and bathrooms. The outdoor spaces have been completely upgraded with a new deck, new brick patio pavers, new fencing, and ambient lighting that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for evening entertaining. Inside, the home features a bright two-story entry foyer and a professionally curated interior design that blends modern comfort with intentional functionality. With three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the layout is flexible enough to support full-time living, guest accommodations, workspace needs, or commercial adaptation. The main-level primary suite opens directly to a private brick patio, while the second bedroom features access to a rear deck overlooking the fully fenced yard. These indoor-outdoor connections are rarely found in Downtown Annapolis and significantly enhance livability. The kitchen has been completely reimagined with new cabinetry, countertops, and appliances, designed to support both daily living and entertaining. The open dining area comfortably accommodates gatherings, reinforcing the home’s versatility. Adding even more value, this property is being sold fully furnished. Every piece has been professionally selected, allowing the next owner to move in immediately, operate as a short-term rental, or transition into a commercial or mixed-use setup with minimal effort. Historically, this property has served multiple purposes, including a furniture store, office space, and duplex residence, highlighting the true flexibility and long-term value of its mixed-use zoning designation. Step outside into a fully fenced private yard featuring a brick patio, outdoor dining area, lounge seating, and ambient lighting, creating a unique urban retreat just steps from the energy of Downtown Annapolis. Located just moments from restaurants, shops, nightlife, City Dock, the Maryland State House, and the U.S. Naval Academy, this property offers unmatched walkability and access. With convenient proximity to Baltimore, Washington D.C., and BWI Airport, it is equally appealing for commuters, investors, and second-home buyers. This is more than a home. It is a rare, fully renovated, detached mixed-use opportunity in Downtown Annapolis where lifestyle, flexibility, and long-term value align.
