Tranquil living that’s a stone’s throw from all the action in North Stafford? The magic awaits at 249 Toluca Road.
Spanning more than 6,600 square feet (including its finished basement!), this striking colonial boasts six bedrooms and 6.5 baths. The residence was built in 2006 and its original owners have called it home since its inception.
The home is located in the Masters Mill community, which has no HOA fees. Situated on a 3-acre lot, the home is on the northern edge of the community, at the end of a cul-de-sac and with Aquia Creek along the back of its property line. Talk about privacy! With an absolutely huge side yard, its current owners say, “it has been such a wonderful and safe place.”
Approaching the towering yellow beauty with tasteful stone elements, the home is tucked nicely off the street, with stone hardscaping and a lantern on each side of its private driveway entrance. Venturing to its two-car garage, there is easy-maintenance landscaping along its front.
The home was originally built by Ridgewood Homes and, stepping inside to its two-story foyer, open sightlines, fresh paint and high ceilings await. To the left of the foyer are a spacious living and dining room, with highlights including tray ceilings, columns and a chandelier along the way. And, to the right of the foyer is a 14×13-foot study, perfect for today’s work-from-home environment.
Rounding out the main level is a laundry room with hook-up, large family room with gas fireplace and stunning stone elements and the adjacent “dream kitchen,” as its owners say! The kitchen has been a focal point for family meals and Christmas cookie making, complete with Cherry cabinetry, dark granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (check out that gleaming hood!), walk-in pantry and 9-plus foot island.
Upstairs, are carpeted bedrooms upon bedrooms… and each has its own ensuite bath (what a rare find!) and oodles of closet space. The primary suite has two walk-in closets, a gas fireplace with mantle, sitting area and massive ensuite bath. The primary bath has two sinks, a jacuzzi tub and double-head shower.
The basement has been totally customized by its owners! Within the flexible space, there is a tiled workout area, built-in bar (with stone columns, lighting and a full-size refrigerator, oh my!), rec room space, bedroom, full bath, unfinished storage area and sliding glass door with access to the back yard. Outside, on the lower level, you’ll find a stamped concrete patio that is below the home’s… huge wooden deck! With trees and Aquia Creek just beyond the deck, this is the secluded spot for some of the best barbecues and outdoor adventures possible.
For convenience, this is it, folks! Parkside Plaza and the North Stafford Complex Center are both within five minutes for groceries, shopping and dining. There are even more options east along Garrisonville Road, including Stafford Marketplace, which is within five miles! Also, within five miles is access to Interstate 95 and, for rail commuters, the Brooke and Quantico stations are within 15 miles.
Its long-time owners will miss this “private and relaxing retreat at the end of the long day” as well as how close it is to so much. To experience the amazing balance and opportunity that 249 Toluca Road provides, book your showing now!
