Property Description

Live it. Love it. Make it yours. Live here full time, indulge in your own weekend boathouse, or create the waterfront escape you have always imagined. Skip the long drives and endless weekend traffic because this private Potomac River oasis is just around the corner, and the getaway begins the moment you arrive. Set against spectacular year round water views and protected parkland, this charming bungalow offers an increasingly rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and effortless access to the water. The property offers two bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor, while the flexible lower level features a media area or optional third bedroom, a second full bath, and kitchenette, perfect for overnight guests, entertaining, or additional living space. Best of all, this can be a truly turnkey opportunity. The entire contents of the property can convey, allowing you to arrive with little more than a suitcase and be up and running from day one. Furnishings, dcor, and the pieces that make this retreat feel complete can remain, giving you the rare opportunity to step into a finished waterfront escape without the time, expense, or hassle of furnishing and outfitting it from scratch. Step outside and the Potomac becomes your playground. Launch from your private pier, lower the boat from your 10,000 pound boat lift, take out the Jet Skis, kayak at sunrise, paddleboard in the afternoon, drop a fishing line, or simply sit back and watch the river roll by. Boat to dinner. Cruise to National Harbor, Georgetown, or the city. Come home for sunset, gather on the deck, and watch the fireworks illuminate the night sky. This is a place where ordinary weekends become extraordinary, with morning coffee overlooking the water, spontaneous afternoons on the boat or Jet Skis, dinners under the stars, and evenings shared with family and friends as well as a fenced grassy area for precious Fur baby PETS! Why drive hours to get away when your own private Potomac retreat is waiting right here? Opportunities like this are rare. Waterfront living like this is unforgettable. OPEN SUNDAY 9/13 1-4 pm
