607 SKIFF Way

Welcome to 607 Skiff Way, a beautiful blend of understated elegance and comfort spread across a four-story townhome on a quiet block in the gated community of Potomac Overlook. If you’re looking for a place to both entertain and relax in, this home has options in spades—starting with an upstairs indoor lounge area that gives way to a private rooftop terrace. Another central focal point is a second-floor kitchen, which is anchored by a statement-making waterfall quartz slab island whose sleek continuity is complemented with modern stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry. The open yet defined floor plan includes a light-filled dining room, a living room with gas fireplace, and a home office with farmhouse-style double-sliding doors that provide the perfect amount of privacy. Upstairs on the third floor, a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom lies just down the hall from a sizable primary suite with a truly luxurious bathroom setup featuring a large walk-in shower with dual showerheads. Other notable moments include a bright first-floor sitting area and powder room, and a spacious additional fourth-floor bedroom. What you might not gather simply by looking at the photos is just how special the views in this particular unit are. Many of the downstairs windows look out to greenery, while the upstairs rooftop has a view of the water that dazzles at sunset. Part of what also makes this home such a catch, is the way it offers the best of everything. There’s seclusion and quiet comfort; it’s also just a short walk away from incredible restaurants and boutique shopping at National Harbor. Waterfront access to the Passenger Water Taxi offers scenic rides to Old Town Alexandria, Georgetown, and the DC Wharf, too. In addition to a two-car garage, an added convenience feature for homes in this enclave is the back gate, which is police-protected whenever there are large events downtown (think: conferences or marathons) and opened up for residents so they can avoid any kind of traffic. You’re at the center of it all with the added bonus of a private shortcut.
