The only home for sale with full riparian rights and direct access from the property, offering the opportunity to build a private dock (prior estimates ranged from $50K–$150K; buyers to verify). ⸻⸻ Welcome to Waterside Court—an inviting blend of luxury living and nature’s serenity. Nestled in Fort Washington on a private 1.4-acre wooded cul-de-sac lot with a stunning Potomac winter water view, this semi-custom residence sits just minutes from Washington, DC, National Harbor, Old Town Alexandria, and Northern Virginia—offering rare privacy with unmatched convenience. ⸻⸻ Designed for effortless entertaining and everyday comfort, the main level introduces rich wood flooring, formal living and dining rooms, a warm family room with fireplace, and a main-level office with custom built-ins. The gourmet kitchen stands as the centerpiece, featuring professional-grade appliances, a six-foot side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, 48” range, granite counters, and a dramatic island with a 15’ bar extending into the morning room for memorable gatherings. ⸻⸻ Upstairs, you’ll find four well-appointed bedrooms, including a spacious primary retreat with tranquil wooded views, a granite-topped wet bar, and a spa-inspired bath complete with a 6’ Jacuzzi tub and oversized shower. Two additional full baths and an upper-level laundry add everyday convenience. The fully finished lower level enhances the home’s versatility with a fifth bedroom, full bath, second kitchen with Viking appliances, a theater with multi-level seating, oversized recreation room, fitness area, generous storage, and private walk-out access—ideal for guests, long-term stays, or multi-generational living. ⸻⸻ Outdoors, enjoy the peaceful backdrop of protected parkland, seasonal river views, and paths through your wooded lot leading to the private community sandy beach along the Potomac. This premier setting places you close to National Harbor’s restaurants and waterfront entertainment, Tanger Outlets, major employers across DC/NoVA, museums, commuting routes including I-495, I-295, GW Parkway, and 210—while still returning home to seclusion and natural beauty. A luxury retreat where nature, privacy, and convenience truly converge. ⸻⸻ • The HOA by-laws explicitly permit water access development. The property includes shared riparian rights, which allow waterfront access and the ability to pursue dock construction, subject to approvals. • A buyer could potentially build a private pier/dock or collaborate with neighboring properties on a shared multi-slip dock, depending on HOA guidelines and permitting. • The process for building a dock is similar to most waterfront properties, with the primary additional step being coordination with the HOA. • As with any waterfront improvement, buyers should confirm feasibility with the HOA
