Let the Potomac Guide You Home
As the mist rises over the Potomac River, you’re sipping your morning coffee on your porch soaking up the warm rays of sun rather than rushing out the door and into traffic.
Sounds dreamy, right? Waking up to the sounds
Imagine waking up to the sound of birds instead of blaring car horns.
Here, life moves at a different pace—one that’s slower, more peaceful, and just a short drive from the hustle of Northern Virginia, DC, and Southern Maryland. If you’re yearning to wake up to the sound of birds instead of blaring car homes, we’re confident you’ll love it here.
At Carpenter Homes, we’re not just about building houses, we focus on creating opportunities for a better way of life for anyone who purchases one of our homes.

Why Choose Carpenter Homes
A Slice of Paradise Near the City
One of the best-kept secrets in Virginia, Glebe Harbor, and Cabin Point are charming waterfront communities nestled along the Potomac River. It’s a place you want to call home, where neighbors wave as they pass, and life feels, well, just a little bit easier.
But the best part; it’s still close enough to everything you need!
You’re only:
-
90 minutes from Washington, DC – Easy access for day trips, visits to the city, or commuting if needed.
-
An hour from Fredericksburg – A historic town with great shopping, dining, and medical facilities.
-
Two hours from Richmond – Virginia’s capital city, full of history and culture.
So, while you’ll feel worlds away from the fast pace of the city, you’re never too far from modern conveniences and adventure.
The Charm & History of Montross, VA
The Northern Neck of Virginia is rich with history, and Montross is no exception. This area has deep colonial roots, dating back to the founding of our nation.
Here, you’ll be surrounded by historic landmarks, including:
-
George Washington’s Birthplace National Monument – Walk the same grounds where America’s first president took his first steps. Woah!
-
Stratford Hall – The birthplace of Robert E. Lee, offering stunning river views and a glimpse into Virginia’s exciting past.
-
Westmoreland State Park – A perfect spot for hiking, fossil hunting, and enjoying the great outdoors with family and friends.
Not a history buff? No problem. Montross is full of that coveted small-town charm. You can stroll down its quaint Main Street, full of cozy cafés, antique shops, and local markets stocked with fresh produce from nearby farms.
On the weekends, be sure to check out the Montross First Fridays, a lively event with food trucks, live music, and local artisans.
