On a picturesque country lane at the confluence of the Rappahannock River and the Chesapeake Bay, this exceptional property showcases the remarkable features of its setting: stunning vistas of the bay, a narrow barrier island, a sandy shoreline, breathtaking sunrises, and moonrises on the shimmering Rappahannock River. A winding lane meanders through the park-like grounds with expansive lawns and mature trees, offering glimpses of the Bay. Built in 1940, this rambling Tidewater design is situated on a knoll, providing privacy and elevation. The home boasts a spacious living room with a masonry fireplace, which opens onto a large deck. This deck highlights the spectacular view, allowing you to enjoy the soothing sound of waves lapping against the shoreline and the gentle bay breezes. The light-filled dining room is simple yet elegant. For a more relaxed gathering space, there is the cozy family room with a full bath. Overlooking the water, the kitchen includes a bright breakfast nook. The expansive first-floor primary bedroom features its own fireplace and private riverside deck. The second floor is divided by an upper hall with an office, two bedrooms, a bath on one side, and a hall bath with two bedrooms on the other. The pool terrace opens off a screened porch, facing the river. The attached 3-bay garage can house automobiles, boats, bikes, and golf carts. Down the gentle hill is a waterside deck leading to the private dock and sand beach. This is the perfect location to realize the dream of a life on the Chesapeake Bay shoreline that will be an enduring family tradition.
