Home of the Week: 3.62 Acres in Stafford County

Now, let’s talk about this acreage here! The front of the rich green property is dotted with a white picket fence and the side yard is partially fenced as well. Out back, you’ll see stables (two stables plus a storage room), fencing and a storage building. So, yes, this is ready to be your paradise! Also in the back yard is an in-ground pool (new plumbing and pump in 2020!) with adjacent shed for storage and a swing set with slide. The back deck has a small pond off it. Out front, the brick with tan siding home shows as stately as possible. Inside, its spacious front foyer has been made more modern – with light gray paint in all common areas, contemporary lighting, and white/black railing accents upon entry.

The owners opted to tint the main entry windows – you’ll love it. Right off the foyer is a full bath with heated floors (all the bathrooms have them!), shower, and linen closet. Down a small set of stairs and on the main level are the home’s main common areas including the dining room, a living room with fireplace, laundry room (new Samsung washer and dryer in 2020!), a half bath, living room (with another fireplace!) and, yes, that bright kitchen with adjacent bay window overlooking the deck. Kitchen highlights include granite countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and white tile backsplash. Also on this level is a bedroom with sliding glass doors that lead out to the deck. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and two baths.

The primary suite has six (!) closets, a fireplace, an attached bonus room with its own sliding door exit, and a vast ensuite bath with jetted tub, walk-in shower and bidet-equipped toilet. Will you ever want to leave this awesomeness? All the additional bedrooms upstairs have two closets, and the final full bath has been updated with new cabinetry. The basement is as dynamic as it gets. In addition to a big open finished room that has been utilized as a theater room, there is an unfinished area primed for a home gym. Will you spot the saltwater fish tank built into the wall down there, too? For storage, there are closets upon closets. From the basement, a door leads out to the back yard patio. The home is serviced by three HVAC units, all of which have been regularly maintained.

Beyond the homesite, so much of the Fredericksburg region is easily accessible. Numerous grocery, shopping and dining hotspots await along Route 17 within five to ten minutes. An I-95 exit (Route 17) is within ten minutes and you can be to the heart of Downtown Fredericksburg within 15. A pro-tip from the owners here: “The sunsets out the front windows, with the green grass and white fencing is just so breathtaking.” There is indeed so much that will take your breath away at 12 Wallace Farms Lane!
