As featured in Annapolis Home Magazine, September 2012. Luxuriously renovated as 4-level residential loft in 2003, this 1897 Gothic Revival church retains much of its original architectural character with unparalleled location. At the corner of Maryland Avenue and Prince George Street, you are only 2 blocks from the Naval Academy (pedestrian gate #3 near the chapel), 1 block from the State House and historic St. John's College, and 3 blocks from City Dock and Main Street with its shops, pubs, restaurants, and more! Maryland Avenue has its own unique character with art, furniture, and antique shops, and restaurants. One of the most unique book stores in Maryland is two doors away.

Marvel at the soaring stained glass windows, exposed brick and bell tower. Your view is of the State House, where George Washington addressed his fellow patriots. A private elevator, in addition to the grand staircase, provides access to all 4 levels of this stunning vacation home. Living room with comfortable furnishings, 55' flat panel TV, whole house Bose sound system, CD, DVD, free Wi-Fi. Thoroughly modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, espresso machine, coffee maker and all the conveniences of home. Dining room has seating for six. Wet bar with wine refrigerator.

Enjoy your private master suite with king-sized bed on the third level. Fall asleep to the view of the lighted dome of the State House perfectly framed by the stained glass windows and awake to the sun pouring through the colored glass. If you prefer, pull the custom shades for total privacy and darkness. Your travertine marble master bath is a sanctuary with separate shower and whirlpool tub, double vanity, and luxury towels and bath supplies.

Retreat to your private BELL TOWER! Converted to a 'martini bar,' it provides a private get-away to enjoy drinks, the views, and the 40' flat panel TV. It is accessible from the master suite floor by a short spiral staircase. Guests love this secret hideout for morning coffee and evening cocktails.

The fourth floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed and en suite bathroom. This floor is a unique space designed to preserve many of the architectural details of the original 1897 church, including masterfully exposed brick, support beams, and three separate stained glass windows. The colored light from the windows reflects beautifully throughout the space at certain times of the day. The separate laundry room has a modern washer and dryer and laundry supplies for your convenience. We have a new twin-sized day bed in the sitting room and another twin pull-out chair and a half is available for the reading nook, if needed.

                            Just returned from the best 2nd class parent weekend ever, and this wonderful property was a big reason. Perfectly located for a visit to USNA or downtown Annapolis. Decorated better than my own home. We didn't want to leave. Everything you might need is available in the condo. It was more beautiful than the photos. Would highly recommend it!

                            Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

                            Owner response: Thank you so much for your review! We strive to contribute to your good memories of Annapolis and are tickled pink when wonderful guests like you love our home!

Tastefully decorated Well equipped kitchen w/granite countertops and high end appliances, pots & pans, knives etc. Wine glasses: they matched!! Wow!! Linens, towels, bedding high quality Wonderful location State of the art tv's and sound system Pristine Everything we needed!! Thanks!

                            We've just returned from a wonderful weekend at this beautiful home. We travel with friends to the Power Boat Show every year, and this was our first stay at this location. What an incredible find! We were all thrilled with the overall home: the decor, amenities, cleanliness, location, and the charm of being in a renovated church. Vic and Laura were tremendous! So helpful and accommodating. This was truly a perfect rental experience. Our search for the perfect Annapolis rental is done--this is it! We can't wait to come back!

                            We stayed at this property for our daughters wedding at the naval academy. It is perfectly situated in downtown Annapolis, close to all amentities, yet distant enough to give a perfectly serene enviornment. The decor is elegant and blends perfectly with the style of the Gothic church. The stained glass and exposed wooden beam architecture makes one appreciate the craftsmanship of this finely restored church. The four levels add extra charm and allow privacy for all guests. The owners, Vic and Laura, were terrific to deal with and successfuly met our every need. We look forward to a return visit in the near future and would highly recommend this vacation rental.

                            My wife and I and some family stayed in this fabulous condo over President's Weekend this year. It lived up to all the excitement I had from the pictures. I didn't tell my wife or friends where we were staying. Wanted a surprise. Their reactions in seeing...."OMG" and "WOW" !! Laura & Vic couldn't have been more gracious & accomodating hosts. Hopefull returning next year...same time..

                            This home is absolutely beautiful. It has exceptional charm with its woodwork and stained glass windows due to it previously being a church, but it has been renovated and decorated with exceptional quality and taste. It is a very peaceful and beautiful retreat. We truly enjoyed staying there. The location is great. You do not have views of water, but you are within a couple blocks of Main Street, the doc, the Naval Academy, St John's etc...everything is within easy reach. The owners are exceptionally warm and welcoming and were extremely helpful in assisting us with recommendations on tours for our children, places to have dinner, shops, etc... We look forward to returning!

                            We stayed in this gem for Parent's Weekend at the Naval Academy. This beautiful home is just two short blocks from the pedestrian gate 3 and our Midshipman loved the location and the beauty of the place. The owners are extremely helpful and welcoming and the condominium was spotless. New linens, towells, blankets and friendly advice on shopping, spas, bookstores, etc. on arrival. The kitchen is fully equipped and the owners even left a gift of their favorite cookies for us to enjoy. The elevator wasn't necessary, but sometimes was enjoyed to sneak up on others. I know this sounds immature, but it was fun. There was also a basket in the master bath with small necessities in case you forgot and the owners were very generous about the "if it is there, use it" which we found refreshing and charming. We are definitely looking forward to our next stay.

                            We stayed at this beautiful condo during our daughter's commissioning week in May 2010, and we couldn't have asked for it to be better. The owners are local and are so gracious and accommodating...and we felt that they bent over backwards to make sure that we had everything we needed during our week. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need and is so convenient to the Naval Academy, downtown Annapolis, the marina, great restaurants - everything! Parking can be a problem in downtown Annapolis, but each time we took the vehicles out, we were lucky to enough to find a close parking spot each time we came back. The owners supplied us with lots of parking passes, so we NEVER had a problem. The house is beautiful - professionally decorated in every nook and corner. It was such a treat to stay at this condo - it was absolutely perfect.....and I would 100% recommend it for anyone with the need to stay in beautiful Annapolis.

                          Year Purchased: 2009

                          About the owner: We are a married couple residing in Annapolis. We love Annapolis so much that we bought a vacation home in historic Annapolis!!

                          Why the Owner Chose Annapolis:
                          We were looking for something truly unique and looked all over the country. Then, we found the church property just 4 miles from our main home!

                          The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
                          There are three main benefits of our vacation property: architectural character, views, and location! We love the walking life style it provides. All our favorite restaurants are just a short walk away. We strive to anticipate every need for our guests - from umbrellas to shampoo, sunscreen, razors, you name it! We are available to answer any questions!
