Incredible opportunity to share the same views as George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate! The home, which replicates the front exterior of Colonial Williamsburg's George Wythe House, transforms to a bright, glass walled rear exterior that capitalizes on its truly stunning panoramic Potomac River views. This unique property offers a blend of historic charm, recent major improvements, and maritime lifestyle that make it a truly one-of-a-kind property. Over the past few years, the owner has spent seven figures on improvements including but not limited to: deVOL Kitchen and butler's pantry, a primary bath/closet addition by Case Design, extensive dock work including covered boat lift, covered sitting area, floating dock, and two jet ski lifts. Over 2,200 square foot travertine terrace capitalizes on the 180 degree elevated Potomac River views and benefits from conservation easement across the River which requires the same view George Washington enjoyed 250 years ago. Situated on nearly 1 acre grounds just 8 miles from Old Town Alexandria and 20 miles from Washington DC provides a private sanctuary to vacation at home every day.

Beautiful waterfront property along the Potomac River! First time on the market; and original owner has lovingly maintained this home, with much attention to detail. The lovely, custom built brick colonial near historic Mount Vernon sits on land which was once one of George Washington's five farms, and has sweeping river views from many rooms, a two tiered back patio, and a private dock with boat slips. Graceful interior details abound including four fireplaces, elegant dental crown molding, chair rail, handsome hard wood floors on both the main and upper levels, and a spacious, light filled finished lower level with a walk out to patio. The main level has a primary bedroom with an en-suite bath, gracious living room with double sided fireplace, large eat-in kitchen with stunning river views, dining room with wood burning fireplace, and library with built-in's and rich cabinetry with a wet bar nook. The well thought out floor plan captures the amazing Potomac river views from so many rooms; and both the kitchen and the library have sliding glass doors that lead to the private back yard oasis. On the main level you will also find a delightful half bath, and a laundry room/mud room, just in from the attached two car garage. The upper level has five bedrooms, many of which are generous in size; a remodeled full bath with entry to two of the bedrooms, another adjacent hall full bath, and wonderful closet space throughout. One of the bedrooms also has closet with walk up stairs to a floored attic; perfect for extra storage! The renovated lower level has an ample sized family room with recessed lights, a custom sleek bar, cozy fireplace, lovely tile flooring, office/den, full bath and two large storage rooms. Enjoy your morning coffee on one of the several patios, and take in the breathtaking sunrises over the Potomac. Durable composite steps with lighting lead to the private, newer dock with boat slips; a nature and outdoor lover's dream! The views are wide sweeping and unobstructed. All this, and so close to Old Town, DC, National Airport, metro, New Amazon HQ2, 395, 495, Fort Belvoir and The Pentagon. Minutes to parks, pools, Mount Vernon, the bike/walking path along the Potomac River, restaurants, shops, grocery, recreation and more!
