A classic Idlewild colonial... with character & beautiful updates... along with seamless access to amenities galore is here! Introducing 1101 Pickett Street! This one owner home includes four bedrooms, 3.5 baths and three levels of finished square footage. It sits on a corner lot in the amenity-loaded Idlewild community. The residence is within a block south of Idlewild’s prized clubhouse, community pool and a tennis court! Within the community, also enjoy pickleball courts, three playgrounds, trails and a direct-to-VRE bus service for seamless commutes. Zooming in on the corner lot here, the front yard is elegant with three ornamental cherry trees that are stunning come springtime – there’s a long front porch for taking them in! The side and back yard areas are fenced (two gates for seamless entry!) with evergreen trees near its expansive, privately-tucked patio. For parking, there is a detached, back-loading, two-car garage with a workbench (conveys!). The home itself has delightful blue hues with cream trim. Note the roof has recently been replaced, the gutters updated and there is an orange tin-type roof accent that adds much style. Heading inside, the hardwood floors gleam as you can see straight through from its front door to back door. The front door itself provides the perfect entrance with beautiful windows and plantation shutters. Main level highlights include a huge carpeted formal living room (all carpet is brand new!); dining room/study; and the show stopping kitchen. The kitchen includes a massive island with cabinetry (like three islands in one!), newer stainless-steel appliances (double-oven plus a new gas stove!), speckled granite countertops, medium brown cabinetry and a double sink. Rounding out the main level are the family room with a gas fireplace; half bath; and a unique desk/bar area off the half bath – so lovely! Upstairs are four bedrooms and two baths, inclusive of the spacious primary suite. The suite includes his-and-her walk-in closets, all new carpet and an ensuite bath with big windows, a garden tub, walk-in shower, tile floors and a double sink. The additional bathroom upstairs includes a tub/shower combo and two sinks. Of the additional bedrooms, note one is primed for an office and includes a walk-in closet. The laundry room is upstairs with a big shelf and hook-up for machinery. We do have a totally customized basement here, too, with newer carpet! It is absolutely loaded with storage space, including an under-stairs closet with built-ins aplenty, a huge closet in the bathroom and two roughed-in storage areas. Rounding out the lower level are the recreation room and, speaking of that bathroom, note the double-head shower set-up! Systems-wise, the hot water heater was replaced in October, and the HVAC has been regularly maintained. Beyond the Idlewild community, I-95 access is within a 5-minute drive north (Route 3 exit). Endless shopping, dining and grocery selections await along Route 3 within a 5–10-minute, drive. The heart of Downtown Fredericksburg, the University of Mary Washington and Mary Washington Hospital are all within 10 minutes, too! Your convenient, beautifully updated and amenity-filled dreams can become a reality at 1101 Pickett Street!
