Just five minutes from the VRE and I-95, 12 Garnet Way is a beautifully updated home that shines with curb appeal and surprises at every turn—including a backyard retreat you truly have to see to believe. Offering nearly 3,400 square feet of living space, this like-new residence features spacious bedrooms with hardwood floors, 3.5 baths, and a versatile bonus room (could be 4th bedroom not to code) in the finished basement - perfect for guests, a gym, or home office. It is nestled in the quaint and convenient Cambridge Crossing community in Stafford County, which boasts approximately 30 residences and is minutes from it all! With this location, multiple schools are within a five-minute drive, two I-95 exits are within 10 minutes (Centreport Pkwy. and Route 17), the Leeland Road VRE station is five minutes east, and the heart of Downtown Fredericksburg is within 10 minutes south. Wow! Zooming in on the beautiful and private lot, an asphalt driveway segues to the full sized two- car garage. The curb appeal is stunning, with two big oak trees out front, holly bushes, boxwoods, daylilies and more adding a colorful pop. Out back, your lush, fenced yard awaits with a delightful mix of maple, birch and decorative cherry trees. The Trex deck is the back yard’s undeniable anchor, which includes a pergola with bench seating. For additional lounging, there are two stamped concrete areas. There is a storage building out back for housing all your lawn equipment, too! The home itself boasts a brick front façade, off-white siding and a black front door and shutters. The roof is brand new and fully warranted! Heading inside, the hardwood flooring gleams as tasteful crown molding and wainscoting accents abound. Main level features include the carpeted formal living/dining room combo; a half bath; carpeted family room with gas fireplace; and the updated kitchen. The kitchen includes a granite island and counters, stainless steel appliances (double oven and new fridge!), a corner sink with big windows, above-island pot rack, tile backsplash, one year-old garbage disposal and dark wood cabinets. Off the kitchen is a breakfast area with sliding glass door access to the deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms and two full baths, inclusive of the totally decked out primary suite, and a fabulous loft/office! The expansive primary suite includes tray ceilings, a see-through fireplace (absolutely awesome!), sitting area, walk-in closet and ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, tile-surrounded tub and two sinks. The final full bath includes a tub/shower combo and single sink. Of the additional two bedrooms, one has a walk-in closet with a window in it! Rounding out the upper level is the laundry room with machinery hook-up. The basement here shines with newer LVP flooring, a full bath and multiple storage rooms (which may easily be a bedroom!). Utility-wise, the HVAC system has been regularly maintained, and a new 80-gallon hot water heater was installed two years ago. With updates, convenience and total charm inside and out, 12 Garnet Way is beyond move-in ready!
