Hello Sunshine
Welcome to Hello Sunshine, a six-bedroom lakefront retreat where the dock becomes the living room and the lake sets the pace for everything else. Set in Freshwater Estates on the public side of Lake Anna, this 4,000 sq ft home sleeps up to 16 with three full bathrooms, a game room built for rainy days and late nights, and a private dock with covered boat slip, a jet ski floating dock, and swim platform. Start the morning with coffee on the covered dock pavilion. By noon, the kayak is on the water. By evening, the fire pit is lit and no one wants to go inside. With an open main floor that keeps everyone connected, a chef’s kitchen ready for real cooking, and a back deck off of the family room. This is the kind of place where the agenda dissolves by noon. Two hours from D.C. and a world apart.
