## Description

### Agent Description
Nestled along the Potomac River and Aquia Creek, this custom-built Colonial offers a blend of elegance and historical significance. Located in an exclusive 12-home community, the property offers direct water access with a private dock, boat slip, and a boat ramp, making it a dream for boating enthusiasts. The home boasts 9' ceilings, crown molding, and stunning views throughout, especially from the multiple verandas. The primary suite offers a sitting area, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a shower. Two additional upstairs bedrooms share a walk-in closet that can also serve as a play area or extra living space. The kitchen offers an island, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinetry opening to a grand family room with cathedral ceilings and a propane fireplace. An adjoining spacious sunroom provides a peaceful retreat with stunning river views, while the formal dining room and two main-floor flex spaces add elegance and versatility. The finished walkout basement, pre-wired for surround sound, offers endless possibilities and includes a rough-in for a fourth bathroom. Outside, enjoy scenic walking trails, lush fruit-bearing trees, a charming gazebo, and a private park area with a fire pit, as well as panoramic river views from "Pirates Peak." Located just minutes from Aquia Landing Park-a site rich in Civil War history, known for its sandy beaches, pavilions, and fishing spot this home is also an easy commute to Washington, D.C., Quantico, and Fredericksburg via nearby highways and the Brooke Station VRE. This extraordinary property seamlessly blends luxury, history, and natural beauty. Whether you're seeking a serene private retreat or a stately home with rich historical connections, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Virginia's treasured past and present.
