Get in before the holidays! Just a couple of weeks before this house hibernates for the winter and wait until spring to go to market. Serene setting in the ever-popular neighborhood of Colonial Forge. This home was thoughtfully built to ensure everyone had space of their own and to fit the needs of evolving lifestyles. As you go in the front door your attention will go to the beautiful Canadian 7” plank natural-oiled hardwood floors throughout the main level. To your right, you’ll find a room with French doors that is currently being used as an office but has also been a "drop zone" and homework room to keep things organized. Past the foyer you have a spacious dining room, eat-in kitchen, living room, bedroom, and full bath. The showstopper in this updated kitchen is the massive quartzite island with its custom base that could easily seat 6-7 people, and new quartz countertops. The 2023 renovation also includes a 5-burner gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, Kohler granite composite sink, faucet, a Moen garbage disposal, and freshly painted cabinets with modern, custom-made hardware. Enjoy no backyard neighbors and the peaceful views of trees on the 15x20 deck off the kitchen with stairs and landing that leads to the new 9x6 patio landing below. Enjoy entertaining or as a private get-a-way in the remodeled basement (2023). This bright walk-out was just updated with luxury vinyl flooring, new paint, 5” baseboards, and has a wet-bar and fridge that could also be used as a mini-kitchen. You’ll also find a bedroom with walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom, and a huge unfinished storage room. To maximize your outdoor space, a large 17x9 patio off the sliding doors was added in 2023. The top level has the remaining 5 generously sized bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (2 BR with large walk-in closets and en-suite BA), open foyer, and laundry room. No fall chores needed here! The deck was just stained and lawn care completed (weeding, seeding & fertilizing), trees trimmed, and includes a beautiful landscape on the hilly portion of the backyard. Entire house and porch were just pressured wash and the driveway sealed. To ensure a move-in ready experience: new caulking, paint touch-ups, new air filter, new refrigerator filter were also completed. House has been covered by home warranty and seller to provide new warranty at the time of closing. The 2-car garage includes ceiling storage racks and a full upright freezer. The house is on a quiet street facing the tree line, trees behind you, and a common area to one side. Only 2 miles from the I-95 / Courthouse Road interchange, a prime north Stafford location in the Colonial Forge neighborhood. 1 mile from the new Embrey Mill Town Center with Publix and restaurants, new Mary Washington medical complex, Wawa, Rouse Center, and 4 miles from and everything on Garrisonville Road, route 610. If you are not from here: great location in between northern VA and Richmond, highly rated schools: Winding Creek elementary, Rodney Thompson Middle, and Colonial Forge HS. Minutes from Quantico. Commuting options to DC include ride-share (vans and slugging) from commuter lots and the VRE.
