Beach front cottage with stunning views of the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay is a rare find! The sand beach is wide and nestled in front of the rip rapped shoreline. This is an amazing spot for wading into the water with friends and children. The home is elevated well out of the flood zone with commanding water views. The land is flat and open making for lots of space for outdoor games and sitting around the fire. The home has a wrap around screened porch that provides ample dining and socializing space. The home features a main floor with 2 bedrooms, kitchen, dining, living room and full bath. There is a second story loft that is perfect as a bunk room or office. The home is constructed in a rustic cottage style to include vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and warm wood floors and walls. The wood stove is perfect for cold winter days. The home is located in a wonderful community where neighbors become fast friends and there are plenty of social gatherings close by. If you are looking your own piece of the Chesapeake Bay with classic style, you've found your home here.
