    What's special

    A once in a life time opportunity - this property has never been on the market. Perched above the Potomac River, this extraordinary 0.35-acre lot offers an unparalleled setting with sweeping views stretching up and down the Potomac River and into the hills of Virginia. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac and bordering protected parkland, the property enjoys year-round privacy and a natural serenity that is increasingly rare in the region. Tucked into the wooded slope, a contemporary home built in 1979 sits harmoniously within the landscape. While the home awaits updates or a visionary reimagination, its positioning and design maximize the views from nearly every angle. A riverside pool adds to the retreat-like feel, perfectly positioned to take in breathtaking sunsets over the water. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of one of the most scenic, private, and inspiring locations along the Potomac.
