Property Description

Set on a generous half-acre + lot, the distinguished Williamsburg Colonial Revival has classic proportions, compact symmetry, and strong architectural presence. Built in 1992 in Brassfield Estates, the home references historic architectural traditions through details such as Flemish bond brickwork, brick flooring in the kitchen, hardwood floors throughout much of the main level, and well-executed millwork, including dentil molding. The comfortable floor plan includes a first floor primary suite, with an updated, newly enlarged bath with a zero-entry shower, a Victoria + Albert soaking tub, and custom tile surround. The design is clean and contemporary, with finishes that complement the home's traditional character. The kitchen features a Viking gas range and neutral marble countertops, with an adjacent eat-in dining area positioned to enjoy the fireplace. Custom built-in bookcases help define the remaining living and formal dining areas and add useful storage and architectural detail. A second floor large private bedroom suite includes a walk-in closet/dressing room and new half bath. Dormer windows and cozy roof lines add character and architectural interest to the second story. A two-car detached garage, with an additional 368 SF of livable space on the second level, is perfect as a home office, studio, or recreation room. Its size and configuration offer the possibility of additional uses, such as a private guest suite or accessory living space, with the addition of a bathroom and kitchenette (buyer agent to verify zoning, permitting, and building code requirements). The garage building defines a central brick courtyard, providing a private setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, and evenings around the fire pit. Established azaleas surround the courtyard, adding seasonal color in warmer weather. A separate electrified shed, with a newly poured concrete floor, captures storage for garden and yard equipment. The owners have maintained the home with considerable care. Recent improvements include fresh interior and exterior paint in select areas, 10 new Renewal by Andersen windows, a Renewal by Andersen front door; new gas logs for the fireplace. A new water heater, attic insulation, a new roof over the covered walkway, and a fully encapsulated crawl space with a new sump pump, dehumidifier, and insulation. All these improvements provide for a worry free home enjoyed for years to come with no HOA. Just five minutes to shopping and restaurants.
