Where to start with this gorgeous custom built and designed colonial on over 8 acres? The home was owned and lovingly cared for by the owners who designed and built it. It has been updated with fresh paint, fixtures, lighting, landscaping, and other touches to create a turnkey situation for the new buyer.
Step into your new home and enjoy the beautiful dark hardwoods throughout the entire home. On the main level you enter a light drenched foyer centered between the formal dining room and living room. The living room annexes the family room and a main level bedroom that is currently being used as an office. There is an updated full bath (with step-in shower) next to BR on main level. There is a gourmet kitchen with cherry cabinets, center island, cooktop, double ovens, built-in desk area, recess lighting and abundant storage. The kitchen is open to the adjacent family room which has exposed beams, recess lighting and a brick, woodburning fireplace. Next to the kitchen is also a full-on laundry room, with cabinetry, a stand-alone sink and large broom closet. There are three doors on the main level that access the stunning and private backyard. One door leads to beautiful screened-in porch; there is a large set of windows and another door from the family room to the brick patio; and finally, the laundry room has a service door to keep the messy outdoor "stuff" away from the other elements of the home.
As you head up the wood staircase, you will find 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The bathrooms have all been updated as have the fixtures. There is a princess suite with a full bath that has cathedral ceilings and a skylight, plus extra storage space in the dormers. The other two bedrooms are spacious and bright and have a full bath close by. The Primary bedroom is a wonderful retreat with a sitting area and brick woodburning fireplace. There are two walk-in closets, both have additional storage in the dormers as well. The Primary bathroom has matching cherry vanities, a large jacuzzi tub, cathedral ceilings and a skylight. There is a door and staircase to the framed attic, which is ready to be finished to your specifications. There is plenty of space to make it a playroom, in-law suite, office or exercise room. There's even a cedar closet already in place...make sure to go up and have a look!
The walk-out basement has a full bar with sink, refrigerator and built-in bookcases and wine rack. There is also a half bath and significant storage space. In the unfinished section there are built-in shelves and a storage system for tools along with two work areas/benches. The rec room is open and has plenty of space for entertaining or serving as a play space.
Perhaps the most special element of this home is the extensive outdoor space. From the meadowlike front yard with spectacular sunsets right beyond the trees to the picnic area amongst the trees, it is really special and peaceful. You are truly at one with nature and have a very private space (8 acres) to enjoy. There is a brick patio off the family room and a screened-in porch that looks to the woods that make up the back portion of the property. The home also boasts a two-car side load garage and a storage shed. With the rest of the property being wooded, it is rather low maintenance. BONUS - A NEW ROOF is being installed prior to closing. The garage trim will be wrapped when that work is completed. When you come to see this beautiful home on this amazing lot, don't forget to check out the town of Marshall, with it's farmer's market and live entertainment on the town square. The home is also a 15 minute drive from the town of Warrenton, so you are located centrally to all that Marshall and Warrenton have to offer. Not only will you have stunning vistas as you drive home, but you are also close to 66 and other commuter arteries. Welcome HOME!!
