Classic Colonial Beach charm meets thoughtful updates in this inviting 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath cottage on The Point, just two blocks from both the Potomac River and Monroe Bay. Set on a large corner lot surrounded by mature landscaping, the home has been beautifully refreshed while preserving the character and charm that make it special. A new main-level primary suite features a private ensuite bath with walk-in shower, while the upstairs full bath has been completely renovated. Original hardwood floors have been refinished in a beautiful natural finish, and fresh white paint throughout gives the home a bright, clean feel. The kitchen has been refreshed with new countertops and a new dishwasher, while mini-split HVAC adds year-round comfort. Outside, new vinyl siding and a complete yard cleanup give this classic cottage a fresh new look while maintaining its established coastal character. With multiple living spaces, a screened front porch, fenced backyard and a location just blocks from the water, this home is ready to enjoy while still feeling unmistakably Colonial Beach.
