Stunning ranch with water access to the Rappahannock River with two sand beaches, boat ramp and pier in the water access neighborhood of Gwynnfield. This ranch has a wonderful curb appeal as you pull up and notice the board and batten siding on the front exterior! The interior is bright with beautiful white cabinetry with easy shut/close, doors and drawers, stainless appliances, and a large granite island with pendant lighting. The open flow of the vaulted family room being open to the kitchen and dining area really makes this home feel spacious. This split bedroom plan has the primary bedroom on the left side of the home and the other two bedrooms on the opposite side. The primary bedroom has a huge walk-in closet with its own private bath that includes a subway tile shower with glass front and double bowl vanity! There is LVP located throughout the home so there are no transitions between rooms! Outside you will find a large level lot, two car attached garage and a large rear deck. All of this located within a 2-minute walk to the community sand beach, boat ramp and pier.
