Property Description

The classics endure... * Timeless charm in this brick cape cod with solid oak hardwood floors throughout the main and upper level, set on more than 1/2 acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac backing to woods * The best of locations: Historic Ferry Farms subdivision near George Washington's boyhood home, with award-winning Stafford County schools, yet just a stone's throw from the Rappahannock River and downtown Fredericksburg * Dining, shopping, museums, fabulous Farmer's Market, just a great place to live! * Commute or just like to travel? The Fredericksburg Amtrak/Virginia Rail Express station is just 2 miles away * The gardens are worthy of a spread in Better Homes & Gardens, planted with carefully-chosen perennials for year-round color and interest. Fenced side yard with a chicken coop! * In the back, your very own "Secret Garden," lush and private, perfect for an infinity pool, but in the meantime, join the Ferry Farms community pool! * A world away close to everything! * Inside, enter through a gracious foyer with coat closet, to surprisingly large rooms! * Living room with gas fireplace, high-quality trim including built-in shelving, and mantle * An anteroom between the living room, kitchen, and family/sunroom would be perfect for a bar area or mini-library * The family room addition has vaulted ceilings, a casual dining area, updated light fixtures, a pass-through to the kitchen, a french door to the huge back deck, and its own HVAC system with electronic thermostat * The exquisite hand-carved doorway feature is freestanding and can convey, or owner will remove * Off of the kitchen is a delightful breakfast room with a wood-burning fireplace, built-in shelving and a split door with the original, working door bell; have a nice chat with the person delivering your milk or groceries! This door opens to a covered brick terrace and yes, a white picket fence. Bed & Breakfast anyone? * Updated kitchen with granite countertops, brand-new dishwasher and newer stainless appliances including a french-door fridge and double wall ovens. There are two pantry closets and the over-sized Jenn-Air cooktop with downdraft exhaust is in perfect working order and has extra griddle inserts * The enormous dining room has built-in storage cabinets, a bay window, and another split door to the deck. Great circulation for entertaining * The deck has just been restored by a licensed contractor * The main floor also holds a bedroom with a completely renovated full bath en-suite and double closets * Upstairs, primary suite with two closets, one a walk-in, and another completely renovated full bath en-suite * The second bedroom has a walk-in closet with access to storage under the eaves * The third bedroom with built-in desk and enchanting ceiling feature will take you back in time - write the next great American novel from this room with a view! * The upper hallway holds the wonderfully vintage 3rd floor bath with original tile in great condition * Downstairs, the partially finished basement has newer wide-plank laminate flooring and a rec room with built-in storage cabinets. The laundry room has washer and dryer and large utility sink, and there is a spacious storage room * NEW HVAC 2022 with UV filter, and Sani-Dry basement system * The basement walks out to the large back driveway, plenty of room for your guests, RV, or boat, no HOA! * Walls on main and upper levels freshly painted * This home is truly a special and rare find. It is Lot 1, the first home platted in this section of Ferry Farms! A home for today and ages to come...
