1486 Downham Market is the ultimate Annapolis deep-water estate—designed for those who demand luxury, security, and boating excellence. Perfectly positioned at the mouth of Clements Creek—one of the safest hurricane holes on the Severn River—this home pairs architectural brilliance with one of the region’s most coveted waterfront settings. A commanding 180’ pier with three boat slips, 50-amp power, and 11’ MLW welcomes yachts and sport boats alike—Hinckley, Viking, Boston Whaler, Pursuit, or Chris-Craft—this property can handle them all. Reinforced pilings are ready for lifts, making this a boater’s dream with full riparian rights. From here, you’ll be on the Severn and Chesapeake Bay in minutes. Inside, walls of glass frame sweeping water views from nearly every room. Across three levels, the transitional design blends clean lines with warmth: hardwood floors, designer lighting, and soaring ceilings. The chef’s kitchen is fully outfitted with commercial-grade appliances, granite counters, and gas cooking, flowing into multiple living and dining areas anchored by a dramatic two-sided stone fireplace. The primary suite is a true retreat—private sitting room and fireplace, a spa bath with skylight, soaking tub, glass shower, and custom walk-in closet. Additional ensuite and Jack-and-Jill bedrooms provide comfort and privacy for family or guests. The walkout lower level is built for entertaining with a rec room, wet bar, wine storage, gym, fifth bedroom, full bath, and a glass-wrapped sunroom ready for a hot tub retreat. Outdoor living is extraordinary: multi-level decks, panoramic views, and serene waters that stretch toward the Severn and Bay. A brand-new septic system and advanced water treatment with reverse osmosis and UV protection offer peace of mind. Set in the prestigious Downs on the Severn, residents enjoy two marinas, clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball, and a close-in location to Annapolis, D.C., and Baltimore. Waterfront estates of this caliber almost never hit the market. 1486 Downham Market is ready now—bring your yacht, bring your lifestyle, and claim your place on the Severn.
