Extraordinary Gated Waterfront Residence in Historic Annapolis Listed for $12.75 Million
In the heart of historic downtown, 17 Revell St stands as one of the most exclusive waterfront residences available in the Annapolis luxury market. This gated estate—uniquely the only one of its kind in the area—offers 260 feet of direct Spa Creek frontage and sweeping southern views that capture everything from brilliant sunsets to the world-famous Blue Angels air show. Priced at $12,750,000, the property is an exquisite representation of coastal elegance in Maryland Real Estate.
Built in 2007 by Guy Pilli, the 5,069-square-foot home is tucked into a lushly landscaped 0.3-acre lot with gated privacy and extensive waterfront amenities. Inside, dramatic architectural elements define the main level, including a sculptural curved staircase, walls of glass, and a wraparound deck that offers uninterrupted indoor-outdoor living. A private office overlooking the water and a newly updated powder room complete this serene and stylish entry.
“The minute you walk in, the light and views take your breath away,” said Brad Kappel of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty in an exclusive conversation with Luxury Houses Magazine. “The seller wanted a home that embraced the water—not just visually, but emotionally—and they absolutely delivered on that vision.”

Spa Creek Elegance Meets Modern Function
Every level of 17 Revell St was designed with intentionality. An elevator connects all three floors, ensuring accessibility without compromising sophistication. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with high-end appliances, a central island, and a butler’s pantry—ideal for both intimate family moments and grand entertaining.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary featuring a fireplace, two spa-style bathrooms, dual walk-in closets, and a secluded balcony overlooking Spa Creek. A generously sized guest suite with an ensuite bath completes the upper level. The lower level is perfect for hosting with two additional ensuite bedrooms, a spacious recreation room, and a custom-crafted wood bar with built-in wine refrigeration.
“Each space in the home tells a story,” Kappel noted. “You can entertain on any level, enjoy the views from almost every room, and still find quiet corners for retreat and reflection.”

Private Pier and Unmatched Waterfront Access
The estate’s outdoor offerings are as impressive as its interiors. A commercial-grade private pier accommodates a 70-foot yacht, two 40-foot vessels, and additional water toys via a boat lift and floating dock. From this elevated vantage point, residents enjoy front-row seats to fireworks displays, regattas, and the peaceful rhythms of Spa Creek.
This rare waterfront access positions 17 Revell St as a standout within Annapolis Real Estate, not only for its views and architecture but for its elite marina functionality. The property’s yard gently rolls to the shoreline, where a screened porch, slate flooring, and meticulously maintained landscaping provide a resort-like experience.

The Value of Legacy in Maryland’s Capital
Located just steps from the Annapolis Yacht Club, St. Mary’s School, and a vibrant network of restaurants, galleries, and the city’s water taxi, the property sits at the intersection of colonial charm and modern convenience. Few homes in Annapolis Real Estate offer such a seamless blend of privacy and accessibility.
Since its last sale in 2016 for $4.9 million, 17 Revell St has seen a dramatic appreciation—reflecting both the evolution of the home and the desirability of its rare location. “This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle,” said Kappel in his final remarks to Luxury Houses. “It’s about sunrises on the water, walkability to the best of Annapolis, and owning something truly irreplaceable.”
For prospective buyers seeking a waterfront legacy, 17 Revell St is a singular opportunity in Maryland Real Estate. With its architectural distinction, private pier, and walkable access to Annapolis’ most beloved amenities, it is a home that embodies the very best of life on the Chesapeake Bay.
