Seasoned to Perfection
Your living area spills into the heart of this home—the stunning kitchen and dining spaces designed for casual everyday living as well as effortless hosting. You will have plenty of room for meal prep, dinner parties, and early morning send offs in a kitchen fit for any culinary enthusiast.This kitchen offers a smart, functional layout where the refrigerator and stove are thoughtfully set apart from the main prep area, creating a natural flow for cooking and easy cleanup. This separation allows multiple people to navigate throughout freely without crowding one another. It’s an ideal setup for home chefs who love efficiency, or for households that enjoy cooking together. Utilize the Dutch door for ringing the dinner bell to the al fresco diners on the patio.
Your kitchen is equipped with modern appliances from microwave to disposal. You’ll never find a dish without a home having plentiful custom cabinetry for days. Granite countertops lend a touch of elegance and offer generous prep space for chopping veggies, setting out a casual buffet, or blending post-run smoothies. Take a load off and sit at your eat-at island that comes with wine cooler for those Rosé kind of days, or create a optional beverage station with glass fronted cabinets for a touch of class.
Gather Round
Just off the kitchen, a flexible space awaits — perfect as a serene workstation with a view, a cozy reading nook, or an inviting dining area. Whether you're hosting a memorable holiday dinner, sketching your next masterpiece, or sipping tea while catching up on the news, this tranquil corner offers peaceful views through large windows and endless possibilities for how you choose to unwind or create.
Take a Load Off…or On
At the top of the kitchen, slide open the rustic barn door to reveal a well-appointed laundry and pantry room, complete with abundant built-in cabinetry, shelving, and a brand-new washer and dryer — ideal for stashing cleaning supplies, stocking up on pantry goods, or tucking away pet essentials. But don’t head out just yet — you’ll want to explore the guest quarters/in-law suite/rec room tucked beyond. This private retreat features a full ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and linen closet. Whether you're hosting poker night or offering Grandma Jo her own quiet haven, this customizable space delivers comfort, privacy, and endless possibilities.
Night Falls
A long hallway presents itself off the foyer and into the dreamscape. Find two spacious bedrooms with ceiling fans and shared large hallway bath equipped with walk-in shower and deep stand-alone tub. One bedroom dons a built-in fit for a mini library, toys, crafts, or home decor displays. Venture further down the hall walking past a linen closet, where you’ll discover a place where dreaming will be an anticipated delight.
Let the sunshine in! This expansive main bedroom suite offers the ultimate private hideaway, blending comfort and adaptability. The spacious layout easily accommodates a king-size bed with room to spare for a cozy reading spot, a fitness area, and/or personal grooming station. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors flood the room with natural light and provide seamless access to the fenced patio where you can enjoy a soak in your hot tub, morning coffee or an evening rendezvous. The expansive sliding-door closet offers plenty of room for clothing, accessories, a hamper, and even valet hooks. Overhead storage makes seasonal swaps effortless, keeping everything organized and within reach.
Backyard Bliss at Your Service
You’d think the interior had it all — but the exterior of this home is just as spectacular. With its storybook charm, this mid-century gem greets you with a sleek modernist portico, the perfect spot to unwind and listen to the gentle flow of the outdoor fountain. (Add a few koi fish for a whimsical touch!)
While the front exudes calm and quiet, the backyard is built for fun. A large screened-in patio sets the stage for year-round entertaining, complete with an outdoor kitchen, TV, hot tub, and dining area. There’s even convenient storage for your outdoor gear and tools.
But the real surprise? Your own private backyard playground. Gather around the fire pit — complete with seating for eight — and get those s’mores or hot dogs roasting. The entertainment continues with an outdoor bowling lane, putting green, cornhole setup, basking stations, and a secluded hot tub lounge with a custom-built bench (cupholders included). Even the towels have their place. It’s an outdoor experience built for memories.
Hearth and Home, Fun & Games, and a Retreat Worth Living In
This charmer was transformed from stud to stellar, resting on 2.5 acres of peaceful solitude, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. It feels like a woodland retreat — yet just beyond the trees lie modern conveniences like restaurants, shopping, and outdoor recreation. Only 20 minutes from the city center, with quick access to highways and interstates, you're also moments from the James River and the historic Tuckahoe area in additional to several parks. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet evening in, this home offers the ideal balance of connection and sanctuary. It truly is a beautiful and sleek home!
