Vintage 1950s Beach Cottages on the Potomac River – Incredible Views & Rare Opportunity Don't miss this unique opportunity to own two charming 1950s beach cottages. While this property does not have a sand beach there is a beautiful white sand public beach just a short walk away. Perfectly positioned on a scenic waterfront lot, the main cottage offers three bedrooms and one bath, with a cozy living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace and a delightful screened porch overlooking endless river views. The shoreline is protected by substantial riprap, ensuring long-term security while you enjoy the stunning vistas. Nestled at the rear of the property is the seasonal “Pond Cottage,” offering three bedrooms and two baths with picturesque views of a peaceful pond that's fed by the river—an ideal spot for enjoying abundant wildlife and serene moments. A large barn provides ample storage, and the overall property layout makes this an ideal investment for vacation rentals, multi-family use, or a private riverside retreat. Being sold As Is, both cottages are in need of repairs but offer endless potential for restoration and enjoyment.
