OPEN HOUSE EVERY DAY, CALL FOR TIMES! WATERFRONT LIVING, PRIVATE PIER, TWO BOAT LIFTS, AND ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES! Discover the possibilities of waterfront living on beautiful Hardesty Cove in sought-after Riva. Situated on approximately 0.82 acres with 100 feet of waterfrontage, this distinctive property offers privacy, generous living space, boating access, and exceptional long-term potential. Whether you're dreaming of a Chesapeake Bay retreat or envisioning a beautifully renovated waterfront residence, this special property is ready for its next chapter. The Hardesty Brothers-built brick ranch-style home provides comfortable one-level living with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the main level, with one bedroom currently being used as a home office. The walkout lower level features a large great room with a wood-burning fireplace, soaring ceilings, and expansive glass doors overlooking the water, along with an additional bedroom and full bathroom. This bright and versatile space offers excellent potential for an in-law suite, guest quarters, recreation space, home office, or additional living area. Bring your imagination and transform this home into a stunning waterfront retreat that reflects your personal style! We've provided some conceptual renderings for you for inspiration to show how you can take this footprint and modernize it easily! For boating enthusiasts, the private pier with TWO BOAT LIFTS is a standout feature! Enjoy the Chesapeake Bay lifestyle with approximately 5.5 feet of water at low tide and 11 feet at high tide. Hardesty Cove provides access to Beard's Creek, the South River, and the Chesapeake Bay. Spend your days cruising, fishing, crabbing, or simply relaxing by the water and taking in the peaceful surroundings. The property directly across the cove is not available for residential development, adding to the privacy and helping preserve the beautiful waterfront views. Located in a quiet, non-through neighborhood, the property feels tucked away while remaining just minutes from downtown Annapolis, shopping, dining, marinas, major commuter routes, and popular waterfront destinations such as Mike's Crab House. It is also located within the South River school district, with convenient access to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and the surrounding region. The generous waterfront parcel consists of two lots and benefits from public water and sewer, an additional advantage for waterfront property. The land may offer potential for subdivision or future improvements, subject to Anne Arundel County regulations, feasibility studies, and required approvals. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding subdivision possibilities and future development options. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, weekend retreat, multigenerational home, renovation opportunity, or long-term investment, this distinctive waterfront property offers an exceptional combination of flexibility, privacy, location, and potential. Waterfront living is about more than a home—it's about the lifestyle, the setting, and the memories waiting to be made. Here's your opportunity to create something truly special on Hardesty Cove. Seller welcomes all offers!
