Property Description
Charming Storybook Cottage in Gwynnfield Waterfront Community. Tucked away at the end of a quiet
cul-de-sac, this picture-perfect 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath cottage offers peace, privacy, and endless charm.
Situated on over half an acre along a serene estuary, you'll enjoy daily visits from birds, cranes, turtles and
abundant wildlife—a true nature lover's paradise! Built in 1989 as a replica of a historic saltbox, this home blends timeless character with modern comfort. Features include cedar siding, both front and back brick porches, and two cozy fireplaces—gas in the living room and wood-burning in the dining room. Hop on your bike or golf cart and head to the community's two beaches, boat ramp, and pier—perfect for
swimming, fishing, or kayaking on the Rappahannock River. A newly added large storage shed offers extra
space for outdoor gear and tools. Conveniently located with an easy commute to Dahlgren Naval Base, Fredericksburg, and Bowling Green, this home offers both relaxation and accessibility. If you've been dreaming of a storybook home surrounded by nature with water access and wonderful community amenities, this is a must-see!
