Property Description

The Cell Block Residences – A Rare Mixed-Use Opportunity in Downtown Colonial Beach Just one block from the Potomac River, The Cell Block Residences is a truly unique property in the heart of downtown Colonial Beach. Originally the historic Fire Department turned Police Department, this iconic building was fully renovated in 2023 into three distinctive residential units plus an adjoining commercial space. The main level offers two fully furnished 1-bedroom, 1-bath units, each with a full kitchen and washer/dryer. These units can be rented individually or opened to function as one larger space. Upstairs is a 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit with potential for an additional bedroom or office using space currently reserved for owner storage. Both the front main-level unit and the upstairs unit enjoy Potomac River views. Throughout the building, thoughtful design shines with exposed brick, steel beams, sound-dampening materials, and creative use of space. The adjoining commercial area, still featuring the original jail cells, is currently untapped and offers exciting future potential. A paved parking lot with approx. 10 spaces supports both residential and commercial use. The residential units have a strong rental history across short-, mid-, and long-term stays with minimal vacancy. Steps from the town pier, public beaches, boardwalk, restaurants, and boutiques, this is a one-of-a-kind downtown investment opportunity.
