222 Longfellow Ave Colonial Beach, VA 22443

""Looking for a distinctive home in the storied Virginia community known as """"the Playground on the Potomac?"""" Built in 1890, Lester Cottage is a rare survivor of historic Colonial Beach's Victorian heyday. The groundwork has been laid by a passionate preservationist for a new owner to complete restoration of this 1,703 SF, three bedroom, 2.5 bath house. Situated on a coveted DOUBLE LOT just blocks from-and within view of the Potomac-the house has sweeping verandas, distinctive Dutch lap siding, and impressive period details. Interior features include: an antebellum staircase, stained glass windows, corner fireplace, cathedral ceiling in the breezeway and extensive custom millwork. The first floor has a bedroom with en suite bath, living room, dining room, kitchen and laundry room. Second floor has two bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bath. A period-appropriate kitchen shows how the rest of the house could cleverly blend modern amenities and vintage charm. The double lot is fully fenced and could easily accommodate a garage with an auxiliary dwelling unit. This 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 includes all building materials on site.""
