Welcome Home to 10643 Old Colchester Rd Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined lot in Lorton, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, two-level home offers over 2,000 square feet of comfortable living space — and a location boaters will love, with Captain John Beach Marina less than half a mile down the same road.

Downstairs, the walkout lower level extends your living space with a large rear deck overlooking a sprawling, flat backyard — ideal for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the privacy of the wooded surroundings.

This home has been thoughtfully maintained, with recent updates including: Roof: approx. 6 years old, 35-year shingles Siding: new in 2019, fully wrapped in metal for low maintenance HVAC system: approx. 6 years old Water heater: approx. 3 years old, with a 12-year warranty still in place Dishwasher: approx. 2018; Refrigerator: approx. 2022 No HOA to worry about.

Lower Potomac, located between the Potomac River shoreline and U.S. Route 1, is a residential and waterfront Fort Belvoir neighborhood with wooded edges and broad river views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fort Belvoir Marina area, where docks, a small ship’s store, and riverside picnic lawns set a practical, outdoors-forward tone. Streets read as low-slung, mid-century housing and newer townhome pockets, framed by tall trees and long setbacks. The pace centers on trails, boat slips, and open green space rather than a main commercial strip. Fort Belvoir Marina, the National Museum of the United States Army, and Gunston Hall act as local pillars for weekends and visiting guests. River Road and nearby parkland keep the geography front and center.
