Walk this stunning and bright brick cape on over half an acre in Stratford Hills! The 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home checks every box and then some. Striking curb appeal boasts immaculate landscaping on a large private lot on show-stopping Stratford Rd, as well as extra parking spaces. The home's entryway leads to gracious and versatile living spaces in both directions; head right to the formal living spaces, or left to a large family room with gas fireplace and dining. Enjoy perfect party flow and hardwoods throughout, as well as a renovated kitchen that features quartz counters and backsplash, gas range, and abundant storage. Rear family entry is a perfect mud space with half-bath and access to one-car garage. Step from the family room into the home’s primary wing, which houses the main bedroom, bathroom, and second bedroom, or studio or office. Family room exits onto deck with stringed lights, ready for summer nights! Upstairs, interior is completed with two more bedrooms that share a hall bath, as well as walk-in attic. Grounds feature fully fenced back yard and playground. This home has been lovingly maintained and is ready for its next chapter!
Continuously loved and improved by its current owner for over 26 years, this beautiful brick cape in desirable Stratford Hills is a rare find and an opportunity not to be missed! The evergreen landscaping provides a year-round lush oasis as you turn into the driveway, and the home simply oozes charm inside and out. While it does have a new architectural-shingle roof, dual-zone central air, and new high-efficiency gas furnace, these are not the things you will notice. The condition of the home is simply superb, and good luck finding so much as a cobweb. Features include both front and rear foyers, oversized family room with wood-burning fireplace and rear deck entry, attached garage with workshop area, functional basement storage, walk-in attic, fenced backyard, first-floor master bedroom; charming kitchen with glass-front cabinets, backsplash, ceramic double-sink, new dishwasher and diner-style swinging door; crown moldings, ceiling fans, hardwood floors, replacement windows, and more! Location is perfect, within walking distance of the James River; quick access to highways, shopping, and entertainment; yet tucked away with a feeling of privacy. Don't let this one get away!
