Property Description
A Harborside waterfront townhouse, solidly built to last by local, renowned Abramson Properties, doesn't just offer a place to live-it offers an exclusive, serene escape and lifestyle. Nestled within one of Old Town's most prestigious waterfront enclaves, this well-built Georgian style residence provides a private retreat paired with a remarkable location that places you at the center of everything exceptional. Just steps from Old Town's breathtaking waterfront, scenic parks, boutique shops, acclaimed restaurants, historic homes & museums, easy access to Washington, DC, Reagan Airport, and major commuter routes, you are conveniently surrounded by everything that makes this area so highly desirable. From the moment you step through the wooden gate, a private, meditative garden welcomes you with lush trees, colorful, flowering plants, and the soft sound of trickling water running through a stone fountain resembling a private, hidden oasis. Inside the well-constructed, traditional home tells its story across four thoughtfully designed levels, each filled with many windows, well-maintained hardwood floors, refined details, and wonderful views of the beautifully landscaped garden retreat. The open living and dining room spaces are inviting, yet elegant, made for intimate dinners, quiet reflection, working-studying, or entertaining. The layout of the home creates a sense of warmth, openness, and inspiration, with scenic views of the city & neighborhood from both the main and top levels. Natural light pours through the windows highlighting crown ceiling moldings, appealing window treatments & finishes, and a flowing layout that feels both comfortable and uplifting. An enclosed, built-in classic wet bar along with two marble framed fireplaces add both warmth and character that makes the home feel as memorable as it is livable. This charming kitchen has been beautifully updated with a new 2025 Miele stainless steel refrigerator, 2025 washer/dryer, Bosch dishwasher, Bosch Stove, 2026 new kitchen tile backsplash, water filter for the kitchen sink, EcoWater Water Softner for the entire home, and a new 2025 custom California closet expanded for kitchen pantry storage. Additional improvements-including fresh interior and exterior paint, a new 2026 Durolast roof membrane, a 2024 skylight, and a sturdy front storm door-all reflect the kind of careful upkeep and thoughtful investment. This means the hard work has already been done for you and what remains is the joy of moving into a home that has been cared for with intention. What makes this exceptional, waterfront townhome in the coveted community so compelling is not just how beautifully it lives, but how distinctive homes such as this one rarely become available. Not to mention, that once you become an owner at Harborside, you have the unique option to purchase or rent your very own boat slip or boat slips! With 1,692 square feet, spacious kitchen/living/dining room area, two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a two-car garage, this remarkable home delivers both comfort, space, and low-maintenance convenience that makes everyday living feel comfortable and effortless. More than a residence, this Harborside waterfront home is a sensory experience. It offers an immediate, visceral connection to the water-a sanctuary of quiet luxury and an enduring friendly community that remains elusive in today's market. If you have been waiting for a home that resonates with your true standard of living, this is your invitation to finally inhabit the life you have envisioned.
