Built in 1964 as a retreat from the world, still a sanctuary, owned by the same family. Four bedrooms, 2 full baths and plenty of room for a crowd. With 77' of waterfront, from the living room, the screened porch, or outside, the view of the Potomac River, Smith Point lighthouse & even the Maryland shoreline (on a clear day) is spectacular. You buy the view & we throw in the house! Sold as is & furnished but with a new roof & new well, moving into this versatile Northern Neck cottage is as easy as falling asleep to the sound of waves lapping at the shore. The screened porch is perfect for dining or dozing. The patio offers protected outdoor space on windy days. The porch opens into a room (with closet) that has been used as bedroom, den or workspace. Eat-in kitchen has lots of storage space & fridge & range convey. Living room has brick fireplace, built in shelving, & lots of light. Primary bedroom even includes a sink. Three other large bedrooms, all with pretty views. Both bathrooms have shower & tub & second bath has laundry closet with washer, dryer & shelving. Central air for comfort & whole house fan to cool things when you first arrive. The yard is great for badminton, volleyball, corn hole, or other sports. For a little excursion, drive a few minutes down the road to the Sunny Bank Ferry for a short ride across the Little Wicomico or make a day trip to Tangier Island. Whether you explore or simply soak in the peace and beauty, White Gates is waiting to welcome you.
