Imagine waking each morning to sunlight over the Potomac, with sailboats drifting past your window. Riverfront homes in Old Town rarely come to market, and this light-filled residence is truely one of a kind. It looks out over the water and the park, with the most beautiful views in the city.

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Gather friends around the center island, or sit by the gas fireplace in the adjoining family room and enjoy the water activity as boats glide by. Grab a cup of coffee and step out onto the deck and watch the sun rise. On cooler evenings, the lower-level library invites you to curl up with a book by the fire.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with walk-in closets and heated marble floors, where you can unwind and take in the views without leaving the comfort of your room. In all, the home has three bedrooms plus the library and 3.5 baths with 3 gas fireplaces.

Spend quiet afternoons on the lower level private terrace with a good book and watch the birds along the shoreline. When you’re ready to explore, Old Town’s finest restaurants, charming shops, and scenic waterfront trails are just steps.

This is more than a home. It’s a way of life on the river.
