Highest-end Baltimore-area home sale in November

The most expensive home sold in the Baltimore region during November -- changing hands for $3.4 million -- is an Annapolis waterfront property with its own heated lap pool and spa.

The four-bedroom home, with four full bathrooms and two half-baths, sits alongside Spa Creek, near the point where it joins the Chesapeake Bay. The property comes with 168 feet of bulkheaded waterfront, two deep water slips and a boat lift, according to the listing.

Other features: a library, a gourmet kitchen with a six-burner stove and a "2+ person" tub in one bathroom.

It was originally listed for almost $4.7 million, according to Redfin. Last sale price: $2.7 million in 2003.

The house was far and away the top of the heap for November sales through the multiple-listing service, run by Metropolitan Regional Information Systems. No. 2 in Baltimore County changed hands for $1.3 million while No. 3 in the city's Fells Point neighborhood went for $1.2 million.

At the other end of the spectrum is this two-bedroom Baltimore property, a rental rowhome that appeared to be in pre-foreclosure and sold for $1,500. (Original list price was $9,900, so that's a heck of a drop in percentage terms.)

Oh, and real estate agent Michael Hamby has compiled a list of the priciest home sales of the Washington region in 2010, including parts of the Baltimore area. Find it here.
