This exceptional 3 bedroom 3 bath home on 26.74 acres has been fully updated with integrity so as not to detract from the elegance of design. The rocking chair front porch welcomes you and your guests home. The front sitting room with built in book cases would make a great office, library or use for additional living space. Radiant heated hardwood flooring warms you on those cold winter nights. Added touches of wainscoting and lighting in the dining room offers a feeling of a more simpler time when everyone gathered at the dining room table. Beamed ceiling and built in bookcases with storage in the family room showcase the design and functionality that went into the remodel. By far my favorite is the oversized kitchen. It is designed with a French country feel with the arched opening above the 6 burner stove complete with convection and conventional ovens. Extra cabinetry in the kitchen was added to store all of your supplies. The Quartz countertops complement the light cabinetry and the farm sink adds to the charm. Two sets of staircases lead to the second level. The large primary bedroom features en-suite with clawfoot tub, as well as separate shower and dressing room/ walk in closet. Upper Hallway has a nook with desk for doing school work ,crafts or more. 2 additional bedrooms and a second bath with clawfoot tub/shower round out the upper level. The brick patio entrance on the back of the home leads to a mud room and laundry room with shower. The attached 2 car garage is heated and at one time was used as a professional office. There are 2 huge barns and I do mean huge. One was converted to a office with radiant heat in the flooring and garage in back. The second barn is used for storage but it could be easily converted to horse stables, for cattle etc. The location of the property gives added convenience of easy access to Dahlgren, Fredericksburg, and more. Don't let the location of the home on the main road fool you, the house is well insulated and quiet inside. The land is mostly level and partially fenced. There is a small creek that borders the right side property line making this a great place for livestock, winery, nursery or more. The potential is endless.
