A listing unlike any other

Drive around the Chesapeake Bay area for a day and you’ll see countless beautiful properties. But every now and then, you see one that just has that little bit of extra magic… Cecilia’s Point on 27189 Island Creek Road is certainly one of them!

Cecilia's Point is located on the Chlora's Point peninsula along Maryland's glamorous Eastern Shore, and boasts 3,000 feet of protected shoreline across 117 acres. This generational estate has everything one could ever imagine – it’s an idyllic getaway with flawless landscaping and resort-like amenities.

The home itself with its slate shingles, striped awnings, and Corinthian columns is reminiscent of the most exclusive private clubs and finest inns. It’s ornate, yet comfortable. Palatial, yet intimate.

Just one sunset on these verdant grounds and you’ll be sold. Contact Brad Kappel for your private tour today.

THE DIGEST

Tesla crashes into hair salon

This was a scary one and we’re grateful it wasn’t worse. A Tesla crashed into Pigtails and Crewcuts on Monday. That’s the hair salon for kids located in Festival at Riva, right next to Mod Pizza. The driver was trying to park outside of the salon but jumped the curb and ended up parking in the salon. The driver and passenger were fine, but four people were hurt, including a child. From what we understand, the driver stayed put to cooperate and the police are investigating further.

Free tree giveaway 🌳

The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. But since time travel hasn’t been invented yet, the second best time is now. Annapolis is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to give away 150 free trees this fall. Each resident can request up to 2 trees for pick up at Truxtun Park on November 11. The trees are first-come, come first-served so don’t leaf this for later. Request your trees now.

New Annapolitans raises $11k for charities

Ever move somewhere new and wish someone could show you the ropes? New Annapolitans has been doing that since 1985. It’s a social club for Annapolis newcomers and it’s now 700 members strong. We just want to give the club kudos for raising $11k at its latest bingo night. The money will benefit local charities, including the Anne Arundel Medical Center Abuse & Domestic Violence Program, the Lighthouse Shelter, Harmony House, and more.

LOCAL BUSINESS

New spot for glowing skin

Since the fountain of youth has yet to be found. . . Perpetual Skin is Annapolis’ newest spot for skin care. Services in this aesthetic medical clinic include wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, and more. Although Perpetual Skin is already open (by appointment only), you can welcome them to town with a ribbon cutting today (10/25) at 12 PM. 151 West Street Suite 100 Annapolis, MD 21401.

Donate a Thanksgiving feast

Last year, Flamant Bistro, The Henri, and St. Margaret’s Day School provided 50 Thanksgiving meals to families who couldn’t afford it. They’re doing that again this year but are shooting even bigger with a 200 family goal. They’ve got the cooking skills covered (duh) so they’re looking for support with the cost. A $150 donation covers turkey, sides, and dessert for 4–6 people. St. Margaret’s is identifying the recipients. Donate here.
