Situated on a peninsula bounded by Antipoison Creek to the North, the Rappahannock River to the south, and the Chesapeake Bay to the East, this early Virginia coastal hamlet, Palmer, was a waterman’s community. The stretch of sweet, unpretentious cottages along Windmill Point Road capture the breezes from the Bay and catch glimpses of the River; plus, they are not in the flood plain. This cute cottage is on about a quarter-acre site, with an additional three-quarter-acre site included. This delightful home provides a one-floor design with everything you need at your fingertips. The comfortable living room opens to a bright sunroom, which may be opened as a summer porch. The cheerful dining room is ideal for gatherings. The galley kitchen is efficient with early country cabinetry, adding a nostalgic ambiance. The mudroom/laundry equipped with a washer and dryer is an ideal catchall for river life. The two bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bath. Enjoy the convenience of the nearby variety store, restaurants, gourmet deli, farm cooperative, and eclectic gift shops. Take a leisurely stroll or bike ride on the country roads, enjoy award-winning golf courses, and discover bird sanctuaries and nature preserves. This property provides an excellent location for full-time living or an investment opportunity, promising a bright future. Whether you’re looking to move in permanently or simply seeking a vacation home, this charming property is sure to impress.
