Enjoy sunrises over the Chesapeake Bay. Watch baby osprey learn to fly, crabbers pull their haul, Wednesday night sailboat races, and Friday night cruise ships. Go kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, or swimming. Frolic in the calm waters with little ones and furry ones. This is the waterfront cottage of your dreams. Only a 40 minute drive from Capitol Hill and Alexandria, you will be surprised how quickly you relax into the ebb and flow of the tides. This 1940s era cottage, washed in white paint, boasts cathedral ceilings, an open floor plan, hardwood floors, and a wall of glass facing the bay. The open floor plan provides easy conversation between the family room, dining area, and kitchen. The spacious family room offers ample room for gatherings, games, and movies. The kitchen is designed with efficiency and water views in mind. Tucked away, and accessible by a Putnam library ladder, is a charming loft. Retire from a fun-filled day on the water, in the serene bedroom with beautiful garden views. The 160 square foot screened porch is the perfect place to host a crab feast or read a book. The front and back lawns offer space for corn hole, croquet, or bocce. Relax under the Maple tree and catch the cool breeze in the hammock by the bay. Snack on fresh figs from your own fig bush. The quaint Deale Beach community, nestled between the Chesapeake Bay and Carr’s Creek, offers bayside water access, creekside water access, boat ramp access, and a Community Center. When you are ready to venture off the property, feast on crabs at Skippers’ Pier or Dockside Restaurant, both an 8 minute drive. Pick up lunch fixings and homemade pie at the South County Café only 6 minutes away.

Working with governmental authorities, it is possible to build a dock on this property as a dock previously existed. Deale is located on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, accessible from Washington, DC and Northern Virginia via I-495 and Route 4/Pennsylvania Avenue, avoiding the traffic of Rt-50 and the Bay Bridge.
