PRICE IMPROVEMENT- Tucked away on 3.8 private acres, this light-filled ranch retreat offers the rare opportunity to embrace the serenity of country living without sacrificing everyday convenience. With more than 1,800 finished square feet of thoughtfully designed main-level living, this charming home invites you to spread out, relax, and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings. The expansive family room serves as the heart of the home, where a classic brick fireplace and a cozy wood stove insert create the perfect setting for everything from quiet evenings to lively gatherings with family and friends. Designed with both function and connection in mind, the spacious kitchen features cream-colored cabinetry with convenient pull-out shelves, a breakfast bar, a double stainless steel sink, propane gas cooking, and a bright breakfast nook. Two generous bedrooms provide flexibility, including one with dual closets and private access to a secluded deck overlooking the peaceful property, while the second showcases vaulted ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, and double closets. Thoughtful updates, including newer windows (2023), new HVAC (2026), new stackable W&D (2026) and a roof replaced in 2013, offer added peace of mind for years to come. Outside, the possibilities are endless with a storage shed, detached one-car garage (both sold AS-IS), and plenty of open space for gardening, recreation, or simply soaking in the privacy that only acreage can provide. Fios internet makes remote work and streaming effortless, while the exceptional location places you just 15 minutes from Dahlgren, 15 minutes from Fredericksburg, and approximately one hour from both Washington, D.C., and Richmond, allowing you to enjoy the best of peaceful country living with outstanding access to everything you need.
