THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS… This home and wooded lot provide a private oasis that is surrounded by nature but located in the Independence Shores section of Stratford Harbour, a community with abundant amenities such as boat ramps for Lake Independence and the Potomac River, the beautifully decorated clubhouse for various family functions, a swimming pool, tennis courts and much more! Situated on a .56 acre lot, the property is very close to a boat ramp for your fishing, kayaking, and other water activities! This nostalgic cottage/cabin presents a beautiful woodstove and an outdoor balcony/upper floor deck (280 sqft) to enable the enjoyment of local flora and fauna along with tantalizing glimpses of Lake Independence through the trees. A modernized, yet classic rustic, home, it’s well suited as a weekend getaway, a starter home, or a home for the post-downsizing Buyer. Nicely sized with 1BR plus a loft that serves as a second BR space, it boasts major renovations throughout the home as recently as 2020 with fresh paint and new LVP flooring installed summer 2023. This year’s improvements also include updates to the bathroom and a new refrigerator. The woodstove offers an alternative heating source and just the right touch of atmosphere. The home is serviced by Breezeline Cable for internet. This property is less than 40 mins from Dahlgren and less than 45 mins from the new Potomac River (Nice/Middleton) bridge for travel to points north. If searching for other entertainment beyond the wealth of Stratford Harbour amenities, Westmoreland State Park is only 5 miles away and Ingleside Winery is 15 miles. This home is also close to the geographic center of history-rich Westmoreland county and the Northern Neck, so the George Washington Birthplace Monument (12 miles), the Stratford Hall Historic Preserve (3.5 miles), and the town of Montross itself (7.2 miles) are close by.
