Adams Anchorage on the East River provides all comfort, beauty, and peace you would look for as an escape from tumultuous 21st C living. The home is beautifully maintained. In 2003/2004 the 1st floor was completely renovated, creating lovely open spaces and great flow from one room to the other w/ shimmering water views from all sides, be it from the kitchen, sun room, dining/living room or master suite. During the next years more improvements were made such as new roof, new siding, 2nd fl. renovations, and last but not least the oh so idyllic 880 sq. ft. waterfront barn style building, which houses great screened living area w/ kitchenette & w. c. , a heated lap pool, and equipment/tool room. The ideal retreat for spring, summer and fall. The home offers all modern features such as a generator, geo-thermal HVAC, custom woodwork, chef's kitchen and much more. The home is outside of the flood zone in a protected location on this beloved Mathews river, short boating distance from the Mobjack Bay, and located in 1st class neighborhood. Old oaks protect the home against the summer heat, lovely plantings and trees adorn the entrance way. You are offered the best of waterfront living!
