Hello Sunshine | 6BR Lakefront Lake Anna | Dock, Fire Pit & Game Room
About the Home
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 lift, double jet ski ports, 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 wraparound decks on every level, this is the kind of place where the agenda dissolves by noon. Two hours from D.C. and a world apart. MAIN LEVEL The open main floor is where the trip actually happens. A great room with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a stone fireplace anchors the space, flowing into a fully equipped kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, center island with breakfast bar, double ovens, and everything a serious cook needs. The dining table seats eight, with additional seating at the breakfast nook and screened porch. Three bedrooms on the main level: - Bedroom 1 (Primary): King bed, en-suite bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, double vanity - Bedroom 2: King bed, hall bath with shower - Bedroom 3: Queen bed, hall bath with shower LOWER LEVEL The lower level is where the fun lives. A sprawling game room with stone fireplace, foosball, ping pong, air hockey, large sectional for movie nights, bar counter with stools, and a cozy bunk bed nook for additional sleeping. French doors open to the yard and lake beyond. Two bedrooms on the lower level: - Bedroom 4: Queen bed, hall bath with shower - Bedroom 5: Two full beds, hall bath with shower ROOM ABOVE GARAGE - Bedroom 6: King bed, full bed, and bunk bed. A flexible space that works for kids, teens, or overflow guests. OUTDOOR LIVING The outdoor space is where this property truly shines. Multiple deck levels wrap the home, including a screened porch for bug-free evenings and a covered upper deck for dinner with a view. Below, a paver patio with lounge chairs leads to the lakeside yard, stone fire pit with built-in seating, and terraced steps down to the private dock. The dock includes a covered boat lift, double jet ski ports, swim platform, and a covered pavilion with Adirondack seating and ceiling fan. Kayak included.
