403 RIDING RIDGE ROAD

Some neighborhoods just have a pull to them and Hunt Meadow is one of them. Tree-lined streets, genuine community life, a pool that actually gets used, and a walking path that drops you straight into Quiet Waters Park. It's the kind of place people move into and stay.

403 Riding Ridge fits right in. The colonial layout gives you the space and structure you're looking for, but the updates give it a freshness that sets it apart. A renovated kitchen, board and batten detail in the dining room and hallway, refreshed lighting, and a finished lower level with a bedroom and full bath that adds a lot of flexibility (a home office, out-of-town visitors, in -laws, au pair suite... take your pick).

Out back, a deck and patio make the 0.3-acre private lot actually livable rather than just something to mow. Downtown Annapolis is minutes away. Routes 50 and 97 make everything else easy. But once you're settled into Hunt Meadow, you won't be in a hurry to leave.
