CharmingPoint Cottage Just Blocks from the Water If you love the charm of Colonial Beach cottages, this one is hard to beat. Located just two blocks from Monroe Bay and two blocks from the Potomac River, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home sits right in the heart of the Point neighborhood, where golf carts, beach days, and evening walks by the water are part of everyday life. The home welcomes you with an enclosed four-season porch, a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind after a day on the water. Inside, the living and dining areas flow together comfortably, creating an easy space for everyday living or gathering with friends. The cottage kitchen with breakfast nook keeps the home’s classic character, while the additional living space just off the kitchen offers flexibility for an office, studio, or extra sitting area. The primary bedroom includes its own attached bath, and throughout the home you’ll find charming vintage details—crystal door handles, a porcelain sink, and a clawfoot tub—that give the house its timeless cottage feel. Out back is where this property really shines. The expansive screened-in deck creates a perfect outdoor living space for entertaining, dining, or simply relaxing with friends and family. The large, flat fenced yard spans two lots, offering room to spread out along with multiple storage sheds for beach gear, bikes, and tools. You’ll even catch a peek of Monroe Bay from the yard. Living on The Point means you're just minutes from the boardwalk, beaches, restaurants, boutiques, and waterfront sunsets that make Colonial Beach such a special place to call home.
