12195 Potomac View Rd Newburg, MD 20664

Listing details for 12195 Potomac View Rd, Newburg, MD 20664 : Welcome to a rarely available colonial riverfront retreat. With 215' of newly pointed stone bulkhead, your boating, fishing, and crabbing desires will be easily met. The 72' dock with a 10,000 lb lift centers the property as you gaze across the widest part of the Potomac River. Once the site of a historic lodge used by the DC elite, this grand colonial boasts an energy-efficient geothermal HVAC system (which earns quarterly cash dividends), a propane gas fireplace with a wood-carved facade, and a copper- and brick-surrounded six-burner gas stove with a griddle and double ovens. The home also features a home office with custom bookshelves and file cabinets, as well as a formal dining room with historic wainscoting from the former lodge. Enjoy the first-floor primary bedroom with its adjoining walk-in marble shower, jetted tub, and massive walk-in closet. The favorite room, of course, is the expansive all-season sunroom where you can take in all that nature has to offer: the ever-changing wind and waves, osprey, blue heron, eagles, and magnificent sunsets. Choose one of two staircases—one equipped with an Acorn stairlift—to find four large bedrooms, all with spacious closets, and two full baths on the second floor. The views from here will keep you entranced. Back on the first floor, find your way through the 20-foot-long laundry/pantry room to the three-bay, five-car garage, which includes a drive-through bay, storage, a shop area, and an Ameriglide Hercules commercial push-button platform lift. Outside, relax on the paver patio or follow it around to the Amish-built screen house with a brass weathervane atop. Additional features include a Generac generator, a buried 500-gallon propane tank, an encapsulated crawl space with an Aprilaire dehumidifier, a two-room dog house with a fenced dog run, and an 18 x 40 pole barn. Standing at the street, take in the stately old trees and the view of the river on either side of the stone-faced house; you will know this is what you’ve been looking for. The property is just minutes from the Swan Point Yacht and Country Club for championship golf and fine dining, or a short drive to the Waterman's community of Cobb Island, which offers your choice of several restaurants and a handy market. Ronald Reagan Airport (DCA) to the north is 52 miles, and historic Fredericksburg to the west is only 42 miles away.
