Looking for a distinctive home in the storied Virginia Community know as the "Playground on the Potomac"? Built in 1890, Lester Cottage is a rare survivor of Colonial Beach's Victorian Heydey. The groundwork has been laid by a passionate preservationist for a new owner to complete restoration of this 1703 Sq Ft, three bedroom, 2.5 bath house. Situated on a DOUBLE LOT, just blocks from and within view of the Potomac, the house has sweeping veranda, distinctive Dutch Lap siding, and impressive attention to detail. Interior features include: an antebellum staircase, multiple stained glass windows, corner fireplace, cathedral ceilings in breezeway and extensive custom millwork. The first floor has a bedroom complete with in suite bath, living room, dining room, laundry room, half bath and kitchen. Second floor has two bedrooms and a Jack and Jill bath. A period appropriate kitchen shows how the rest of the home could cleverly blend modern amenities with vintage charm. The double lot is fully fenced and could easily accommodate a garage with an auxiliary dwelling unit. The property is a restoration in progress and is being offered 'As Is'. Any inspections shall be for informational purposes only. The room descriptions herein should not be taken to mean that all of the rooms are fully floored or framed, or that plumbing is fully roughed in. The sale will include all building materials on site.
