Updated Waterfront Victorian 4BR, 7 Bed- The Pearl

Set directly along the Potomac River on Colonial Beach’s coveted Point neighborhood, this historic waterfront home offers riverfront living with rare walkability. Originally built more than 150 years ago and thoughtfully modernized in 2025, the residence blends original architectural character with contemporary comfort. From sunrise coffee to sunset cocktails, the river remains a constant presence—visible from porches, living spaces, and gathering rooms throughout the home.

The Pearl comfortably sleeps up to ten guests across four inviting bedrooms, making it ideal for families or groups traveling together. Bedroom configurations include a king with an additional twin, two queen bedrooms, and a flexible room with a full bed and two twins. Two and a half updated bathrooms are thoughtfully distributed across the home; please note there are walk-in showers but no bathtubs. Original heart-of-pine floors and period details remain, adding character and authenticity throughout.

At the heart of the home is an open kitchen and living area created during the 2025 renovation. A new sliding glass door frames uninterrupted river views, while updated appliances and premium cookware support relaxed meals or full family dinners. The dining room seats ten beneath a crystal chandelier, and multiple living spaces—including a parlor with a second TV—allow guests to spread out comfortably. A children’s nook stocked with books and crafts adds a thoughtful family touch.

A wraparound waterfront porch anchors daily life, offering gliders, Adirondack chairs, and outdoor dining overlooking the river. Additional amenities include bikes, croquet, horseshoes, cornhole boards, a seasonal outdoor shower, and a grill—perfect for long summer days and easy evenings at home.

Located just three to four blocks from the beach and within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the boardwalk, the home offers one of Colonial Beach’s most convenient settings. Guests can explore almost entirely on foot, bike, or golf cart. Driveway parking is available on-site.

This home is ideal for families, multigenerational groups, and friends seeking a character-rich waterfront stay with modern comforts, strong Wi-Fi, and a true sense of place. Well-behaved, potty-trained dogs are welcome, making it a genuine home-for-all retreat.

As with many Chesapeake and Potomac waterfront areas, jellyfish may be present at certain times in summer. Original hardwood floors are intentionally preserved and may be uneven in places, reflecting the home’s historic nature.
