Character and scale define this custom brick colonial situated on over 12 sprawling acres of Hanover County landscape. A shaded front porch offers a graceful introduction to the home, leading into a traditional floor plan anchored by a dual-sided gas fireplace that bridges the living room and the kitchen. Serving as the true heart of the home, the kitchen features a large central island and opens directly to the rear wood deck for effortless outdoor dining overlooking the expansive rear yard. The second level is thoughtfully arranged with three bedrooms, including a primary suite that boasts a dedicated sitting area and a private staircase leading to an elevated garret. This rare architectural feature serves as a secluded sanctuary, providing a one-of-a-kind vantage point for watching the sunset over the western tree line. The upper level is served by a functional dual-access bathroom, designed to provide the primary suite with ensuite convenience while remaining accessible from the central hallway. Practicality meets potential throughout the property, with a walk-out basement that offers a significant opportunity for customization. Already equipped with a cozy wood stove and a utility bathroom, this lower level is ready for a refined finishing touch to create a personalized recreation or guest space. Outside, the property is a haven for hobbies and storage, highlighted by a 1,500-square-foot pole barn with electricity and dedicated breaker at the main house. Fully enclosed with a barn door, this substantial structure is ideal for large equipment, workshop projects, or various agricultural pursuits. With 12.5 acres of privacy, this estate delivers a rare blend of refined brick construction and a versatile outdoor lifestyle in the South Anna River area.
