Naval Air Station Pax River is to home the the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) headquarters. It’s also known as the place “where the future of Naval aviation begins.”
The base is located where the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay meet in Maryland. It’s straight east of Fredericksburg, Virginia, about 90 miles north of Norfolk, and 65 miles south of Washington D.C. which means that, even though it’s located on a quiet peninsula, there are a large number of activities nearby to keep your weekends busy.

I’m not even sure where to start with this beautiful Colonial style home. On first impression, this four-bedroom, three-bath home nestled among the trees is cozy and inviting. It's situated on a half-acre lot with an extended driveway, keeping you away from the road while providing space and privacy.

Step through to the newly updated kitchen, and you’ll see that it features stainless steel appliances, beautiful dark cabinets, and a gorgeous backsplash.
The bedrooms are also beautifully updated, and each have a fresh coat of paint.
Make your way downstairs to the huge unfinished basement with a bathroom (perfect for a man cave!). The house also features a two-car garage with a work bench and extra storage space.
Take a step out back, and you’ll find a screened-in porch overlooking a beautiful fenced-in backyard and shed.
Finally, what makes this property perfect for a military family is the access to a private beach where you can enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and fishing.
