Nestled on 1.6 acres of serene, private waterfront, this charming farmhouse bungalow offers a true retreat from the pace of city life—while still being just 8 miles from Alexandria, 13 miles to Capitol Hill, and moments from National Harbor. Tucked along the banks of Broad Creek with sweeping views of the Potomac River, this unique property invites you to relax and reconnect with nature. Whether it's quiet mornings watching herons and osprey from your screened brick porch, sunset reflections on the water, or weekend kayaking from your backyard, the possibilities for peaceful living are endless. Inside, the home is steeped in vintage charm and warmth. Original woodwork, built-ins, and cozy fireplaces add character throughout. The spacious family room—anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and a wall of windows—boasts drop dead views year-round. The main level features a spacious primary bedroom with a fireplace and water views, a second bedroom with private yard access, a full bath, and a kitchen with custom wood cabinetry and classic Thermador wall ovens. Upstairs offers another bedroom, full bath, and a high-ceilinged floored attic—that you can pop up to get picture perfect views of the water perfect for a primary bedroom/bath of your dreams. Outside, enjoy brick garden paths, a walled courtyard with fountain, a roof cupola with weathervane, and lush landscaping—all adding to the timeless feel of this riverside hideaway. Need space for all your watercraft, bikes, and outdoor playthings - the attached 2 car garage it perfect. This home was custom-designed and built by architect Dudley C. Bayliss, a renowned architect at the National Park Service from the 1930’s until 1966. Mr. Bayliss was instrumental in the creation of the Blue Ridge Parkway as both an architect and landscape architect. This home is full of custom features and detailed design elements quintessential in mid-century farmhouse style. No major renovations of this home have been undertaken in the last 50 years, preserving the style and distinct attributes of the original home. This is a rare opportunity to own a sizable waterfront property with unmatched privacy and charm, all within an easy commute to the heart of the city.
