Welcome to the Water's Edge Retreat! Where nature meets refined elegance. Have your own private corner of this Potomac waterfront community just 15 minutes from DC! Come home to this stately 3-side-brick, single-family home surrounded by trees on a private 1.41-acre lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac that backs to a national park. Look out the window from your primary bedroom to see a bald eagle perched in a tree, a red fox darting in and out of your woods, a doe with her fawn, or other wildlife as well as stunning views of the river in the winter.  All year around you can view the river from parts of the property overlooking the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and Alexandria, or you can stroll through your woods to access your private community sandy beach at the river’s edge.  This home is minutes from National Harbor, Washington D.C., and Virginia even while avoiding Route 210 if you choose. This 3-level residence features 5 spacious bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a 3-car side-load garage. A welcoming foyer opens to rich wood flooring throughout, with separate formal living and dining rooms.  With the open, flowing floor plan, this home is ideal for entertaining. The main kitchen (“main” because there are two) features built-in stainless steel professional appliances including a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer spanning over 6 feet, a 48” professional range with matching hood, and granite counters all around. With its a grand center island featuring a 15’ bar top uniting the kitchen with the naturally lit adjoining morning room, this area creates the heart of this home. Enjoy cozy evenings in the family room with a fireplace or work from home in the main-level library/office with its built-in granite desk and hardwood cabinets. Separate staircases offer convenience and an elevated sense of design. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a true retreat, showcasing scenic nature views, a granite topped wet bar, and a spa-like en-suite bath with a 6’ Jacuzzi soaking tub and separate double sized shower.  The fully finished lower level offers a second kitchen with Viking appliances, a theater with multi-level seating, an oversized recreation room, home gym, generous storage, and private side egress—ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Located in the only waterfront neighborhood adjacent to National Harbor, which means it is near to premier shopping, dining, and entertainment, including Tanger Outlets and everything else National Harbor has to offer, this home combines nature, luxury, privacy, comfort, and convenience in a spectacular natural setting.
