How about more than 4,000 square feet of modern/updated living space... with a vast green space beyond your back yard... and minutes from the VRE and downtown? Introducing 50 Hamstead Road in Stafford County! Constructed in 2003, this residence includes five bedrooms, three and a half baths and 4,384 square feet. It sits on a 10,000-plus square foot lot in Stratford Place. Among the amenities you’ll enjoy in the cozy community are extensive sidewalks and – quietly tucked beyond this property’s back fencing – an open field for recreation as well as the community playground! From its doorstep, the Leeland Road VRE station is within a five-minute drive northwest; multiple grocery, dining and shopping selections are within five minutes; and the heart of Downtown Fredericksburg is within 10 minutes! Multiple I-95 exits (Centreport Parkway and Route 17) are within a 10-minute drive, too. Zooming in on the homesite here, an asphalt driveway leads to the residence’s two-car garage. Within the garage is ample shelving for all of your storage and maintenance needs. The front porch has plenty of space for two rocking chairs for taking in the neighborhood buzz and quietly chirping birds that nest in a nearby tree. The home itself is a stately white with black shutters. Out back, note that the spacious deck was updated in 2020! For extra lounging within the fenced-in backyard, there is a spacious patio. Note that this property has additional space beyond the fencing for even more wiggle room! Heading inside, you’ll see tasteful updates aplenty spanning select flooring, the kitchen and more! Main level highlights include the office with a built-in desk and cabinets; the connected formal living room and dining room; an updated half bath with a new vanity and the massive family room (with a fireplace!) that is adjacent to the open-concept kitchen. Within the kitchen, note the refreshed white cabinetry with golden handles, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (double oven!) and massive central island. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two full baths inclusive of the super-sized primary suite! The primary suite has an attached bonus/sitting room that may easily be a media room or a sixth bedroom. Also within the primary suite is a big walk-in closet as well as ensuite bath complete with a soaking tub, walk-in shower and two large vanities. Of the additional bedrooms, note the one with the built-in murphy bed! Rounding out the upper level, note the benching in the hallway; the spacious laundry room with cabinetry; and black railing segueing down to the main level – all lovely touches! Heading to the basement, you’ll find the fifth bedroom and full bath. Otherwise, the lower level is totally flexible and could easily be morphed into a sitting area, exercise space or... you name it! There is already a kitchenette sink which gives you even more opportunity. There is a double door exit to that back yard utopia, too. Systems-wise, the water heater was updated last year, the laundry machinery was updated this year, and the HVAC has been regularly maintained. If you’re looking for your own little slice of Stafford County heaven with visible upgrades, a quiet-yet-active community and incredible convenience... 50 Hamstead Road is it! Book your showing ASAP!
