Property Description

Steps from the Potomac River... plus immediate access to a quaint lake from your back yard? You must see the magic at 281 Richmond Road in Colonial Beach to believe it! Built in 1978 and tastefully updated through the years, this rancher-style abode spans three bedrooms, three baths and more than 1,800 square feet. It sits on a spacious .51- acre lot in the Ebb Tide Beach community, which includes amenities like a fishing pier, gazebo, boat ramp and picnic pavilion (low annual HOA fees, folks!). With this location, the shore of the Potomac River is approximately 1/10 th of a mile north of the residence! Zooming in on the acreage, the back yard is anchored by a wooden deck, vast green space and there is a private pier overlooking a small lake where you can fish. You have multiple spots for taking in such tranquil vistas! On the side of the home is a small shed for storing lawn equipment and, out front, low-maintenance landscaping abounds including select cacti. The home is brick with white siding – before heading inside, note the quaint front porch for morning coffees or afternoon winddowns. Through the front door, you’re greeted with open spaces and the home’s carpeted living room. To the right is double-door access to the family room, which includes a large stone-clad fireplace. On the wall of the family room, note a stereo control panel that controls speakers throughout the entire residence! The flooring you see is gleaming luxury vinyl planking, which you will note along your tour, too. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, black cabinets, blue counters, and modern lighting. Just off the kitchen is the home’s first full bath, complete with a walk-in shower and single sink. In this space you’ll also find the laundry set-up (the machinery conveys). Off the home’s dining room is a hallway where you’ll find the home’s three bedrooms and remaining two baths, inclusive of the primary suite. The primary suite includes a sizeable closet and ensuite bath complete with tub/shower combo and single sink set- up. All the bedrooms are carpeted! With this location you have seamless access to Virginia’s picturesque Northern Neck region and so much more. The epicenter of Colonial Beach, with shopping, restaurants and grocery options, is less than 15 minutes north. Dahlgren and the US-301 Harry Nice Bridge are within 30 minutes north and Downtown Fredericksburg is approximately 40 minutes northwest. In between are several preserves, parks and golf courses for recreation aplenty. The home is serviced by Westmoreland County Public Schools with Washington District Elementary, Montross Middle and Washington & Lee High Schools as its designated institutions. Amid so many features, the current owners will miss “going right up the street and being on the beach.” Surely the next owner of 281 Richmond Road will cherish this as well.
