Lake Ogleton Waterfront

Annapolis, Maryland

Blending a sense of the past with the present, this home in the family-oriented community of Bay Ridge is a waterfront haven for parents and kids alike. From the street, the three-story house presents a quiet, asymmetrical front.

The roof, comprised of two gambrels intersecting at 90-degree angles like a cruciform, provides needed volume under the eaves while reducing the apparent mass of the building. On the waterfront side, generous porches extend the living space outdoors and large windows let in light and views. The façade is shaped into a series of shifting planes, with windows recessed under eaves and behind columns and railings. Though stately and well organized, with its whimsical touches, this home is a place for kids (of all ages) to be kids.
