YOUR RIVERSIDE HOME

This 1200 square foot home with central air conditioning and heating is newly renovated with living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, dining area and deck. Private parking is available for 2 vehicles. Wifi is available on site.

Walk in to a spacious, homey living room with a wall mounted Roku TV. The living room allows access to a long 2nd story deck featuring outdoor furniture and a stunning view of the Potomac River.

Bedroom 1 is carpeted and includes a comfy queen bed, full closet, 2 side tables with lamps and ceiling fan. This bedroom offers a lovely view of the Potomac. Bedroom 2 is carpeted and includes two twin beds, 1 table and lamp, and ceiling fan.

A Futon couch, which folds out to accommodate an additional guest, is located on the lower level. Bed linens for the Futon are available upon request at no extra charge.

The cottage has two full bathrooms with shower, sink and toilet upstairs along with towels and bathing amenities. The large downstairs bathroom includes a combination tub/shower, toilet, sink, towels and bathing amenities. Clothes washer and dryer are also located in this lower bathroom.

Guests can access the lower level of the home from the private parking area. In addition to the 2nd bathroom, the lower level includes a fully equipped kitchen with electric stove & oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. Dishes, cookware and utensils are provided. The dining area includes a table and chairs that will comfortably seat 6.
