435 LAKESIDE DRIVE, HARPERS FERRY, WV 25425 - Martin Millner Real Estate

$795,000

**Your private lake retreat, an hour from DC - with a turn-key rental program that helps pay the bills while you're away.** If you've been looking for a weekend home on the water that doesn't demand a renovation project, finding a property manager, or your every free Saturday, this is… Read More it. Tucked at the end of a long, private cove on one of the DC area's most coveted lakes, this fully renovated two-bedroom retreat (plus a spacious basement den that can serve as a third sleeping space) is set up to be exactly two things: a place you'll love coming home to, and a property that earns its keep when you're not there. *A VIEW YOU'LL WANT TO WAKE UP TO* Most lakefront homes here stare across a narrow channel at the neighbor's deck. This one looks up the cove - water in the foreground, woods on either side, Blue Ridge Mountains rising in the distance. It's the kind of view you'll find yourself describing to friends, then bringing them to see. Take it in from the great room, the deck, or the hot tub. *PRIVACY THAT'S RARE ON THE WATER* The home sits at the far end of a cove - the most secluded address on the lake. A 700-acre state wildlife management area begins 100 yards from the door, with miles of trails for morning walks. When you want activity, the Mountain Lake Club is a short paddle away. When you want to disappear, you can. *ALREADY RENOVATED - NOTHING TO DO* Taken to the studs in 2019 with tons of improvements: new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, septic, appliances, decks, landscape walls, and basement waterproofing. This work would run a year of your life to replicate. Skip the contractors. Show up on Friday with groceries. *AN INCOME STREAM WITHOUT A SECOND JOB* The property has a solid four-year track record as a rental with a local full-service vacation rental program that handles bookings, guest communication, cleaning, and maintenance. Block off the weeks you want for yourself, list the rest, and let the rental income offset your carrying costs. No 2 a.m. guest calls, just easy income. *THE HOME* Main floor - King primary suite with en suite bath Main floor - Bedroom with two twin beds Lower level - Private den suite currently outfitted with a queen bed Waterfront, wood-burning stove fireplace, hot tub, private dock for kayaks and paddleboards, megabit WiFi available for the occasional work-from-the-lake week. *CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE EASY* Dulles Airport: 50 min b7; Washington, DC: 1 hr 15 min b7; Baltimore: 1 hr 20 min b7; Harpers Ferry town & national park: 20 min b7; Loudoun wine country: 15 min b7; Appalachian Trail (Keys Gap): 10 min b7; Mountain Lake Club: 4 min Close enough for a Friday-evening drive after work. Far enough that you actually feel away. *THE BOTTOM LINE* Lakefront homes on this water rarely come up. One that's already gut-renovated, professionally rental-managed, and sited at the most private end of the cove with the finest view on the lake is a different animal entirely. This isn't an investment property pretending to be a getaway. It's a getaway that happens to pay for itself. Read Less
