Welcome to 1316 Swan Harbour Road, a rare custom-built waterfront residence gracefully sited on a beautifully landscaped corner lot in Fort Washington, Maryland. Designed and meticulously maintained by its original owner, this stately brick home offers refined living in a peaceful, nature-filled setting—complete with serene water views and spacious, thoughtfully designed interiors.
Step through the handsome wood front door into a dramatic two-story foyer, where natural light and architectural elegance set the tone for the rest of the home. The main level is perfect for entertaining, with formal living and dining rooms that flow effortlessly to the expansive rear deck. The inviting family room showcases a cozy wood-burning fireplace, an exposed brick accent wall, and a skylight, creating a warm, light-filled space. The kitchen is a cook’s dream, featuring rich wood cabinetry, upgraded countertops, a double oven, and abundant storage. A convenient full bath completes this level.
Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms provide space and comfort, including a luxurious primary suite with a bright sitting area, private semi-covered deck, and a spa-like bath featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. An additional full bath on this level serves the remaining bedrooms, along with a laundry area.
The fully finished walkout lower level expands the home’s value and versatility, offering a self-contained one-bedroom suite with private entrance, full bath, second kitchen (with fridge, microwave, and sink), and spacious living area. Whether used as a long-term rental, short-term Airbnb, or private home office with income potential, this space presents a rare opportunity to generate revenue while maintaining privacy.
Outdoors, the home impresses with multiple decks for relaxing or entertaining, a charming brick walkway leading to the front entrance, and a separate deck tucked into the trees with stunning water views and a peaceful path that winds through the backyard. A long driveway provides ample parking for residents and guests.
Located in a quiet, established neighborhood, this home is just minutes from Fort Washington Park, National Harbor, and scenic Potomac River trails. Commuters enjoy easy access to MD-210, I-495, and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, with quick routes to Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Joint Base Andrews. Nearby attractions include Tanger Outlets, MGM National Harbor, and historic Old Town Alexandria. Major employers such as the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are within convenient reach.
Offering custom craftsmanship, rare waterfront views, and built-in income potential, 1316 Swan Harbour Road is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to invest in lifestyle and lasting value.
