Property Description
POTOMAC WATERFRONT!
Wonderful 2BR, 1BA renovated cottage with 50` of fabulous water frontage overlooking the mighty Potomac River at its widest section. When you look out your back windows all you see is water (no homes). The home is also beautiful. Its open floor plan gives it an expansive design, allowing for the kitchen to open to all the other living spaces: tv, dining, and living room areas. There are fabulous water views from every part of the house except the front bedroom . The sturdy home is block construction and was renovated in 2019. New kitchen with stainless steel appliances, natural stone countertops (including island with seating), custom white cabinetry with pull out shelving. (All but refrigerator was replaced). Bath remodeled. New tile plank fooring throughout for easy maintenance. All windows are double paned, with many having been recently replaced. Hot water heater replaced 2019 , roof replaced 2021. HVAC is old but functions well . Double wood burning fireplaces on front wall (owner has not used them), and a cozy wood burning pellet stove on back wall . The home is on public sewer and public water. This home sits on one of the best waterfront sites in the area: The part of the backyard closest to the water slopes down to the beach and river and thus the land where the house is located is elevated about 10' or more above the water line. There is rip rap stone on the slope to prevent soil erosion. And this property and several adjacent ones also have jetties in the water that further protect the shoreline. Step out into the backyard and look to the left and you can see the "Point" of Colonial Beach. Look slightly to the right and this is where the river bends and you can't even see the Maryland side - you would think you are on the Chesapeake Bay. This home is located just outside of the town of Colonial Beach where there are a host of amenities and activities including festivals, restaurants, public library, gym, brewery, grocery stores, pharmacy. The popular Dockside Restaurant and Tiki Bar (located on Colonial Beach's "Point") is a mere 10 minute kayak ride from the property.
Potomac Westmoreland Shores Civic Corp (PWSCC) owns the beach all along Shore Dr. PWSCC is a voluntary association, and has a Community Center/Clubhouse, and a boat ramp and marina just down the street. For the modest fee of $90/yr one can become a member and get a boat ramp key. And for an additional very reasonable fee, boat slips can also be rented as available.
NOTE: a) There is a lot adjacent to the house for sale, but this lot is NOT part of the sale. b) all pictures of the river and the beach were taken from subject property's backyard, except the last 5 which are of the Dockside Restaurant). c) Owner is also the listing broker/realtor.
