SO MUCH NEW! Tucked away on 1.39 private acres just minutes from I-95, shopping, dining, Smith Lake, and the community park, this home gives you something buyers are struggling to find in Stafford right now — space to breathe without sacrificing convenience. From the moment you pull in, the full front porch feels like home. It’s the kind of space you’ll actually use — slow mornings with coffee, evenings unwinding after work, or weekends spent enjoying the quiet surroundings. Set back from the road with mature trees and privacy, the property offers a peaceful setting while still being incredibly commuter-friendly. Inside, this true 4-bedroom, 3-bath rambler offers over 2,400 square feet with a layout that simply makes sense. The owner’s suite is tucked privately to one side of the home, while the additional bedrooms are separated toward the rear for added privacy. A separate wing off the garage features the 4th bedroom and 3rd full bath — ideal for guests, in-laws, older children, a private office, or anyone needing flexible living space. The kitchen has already been updated with granite countertops, white cabinetry, and an oversized pantry with the kind of storage every homeowner wants but rarely gets. Just off the kitchen, the sunroom becomes an everyday favorite — filled with natural light and perfect for morning coffee, reading, or keeping your plants happy year-round. Out back, the fully fenced yard backs to trees and feels private, usable, and ready for real life. The spacious Trex deck is built for cookouts, gatherings, or simply relaxing at the end of the day. Between the yard, the privacy, and the functional layout, this home offers the kind of comfort and flexibility that’s becoming harder to find. And the best part? The major updates are already done for you: New HVAC (2024) New hot water heater (2024) Septic updates including distribution box, header lines, and pump (2023) Architectural roof (2017) New siding (2025) New vinyl privacy fence (2024) Trex deck with vinyl railings (2024) Updated kitchen LVP flooring Custom closet built-ins in the owner’s suite
