Welcome to your private retreat near the Rappahannock River! This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath rancher sits on a total of 3.76 acres—including the adjoining 2.2-acre lot that conveys with the sale—and is packed with features for comfort, play, and peace of mind. Inside, you’ll love the open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, updated flooring, and fresh interior and exterior paint (2020). The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, updated kitchen countertops (2024), and the washer/dryer convey. Cozy up in the large living area with a corner gas fireplace, or step outside to entertain on your 13' x 24' back deck recently re-stained in 2025—complete with a gas grill hookup—or unwind in the 13' x 13' screened-in porch, which was re-screened and freshly stained in 2020. This home was built for fun: enjoy your 20' x 40' mini full-court basketball setup, above-ground pool with deck, play set, fire pit area perfect for evening gatherings, and a small spring that adds to the ambiance. There’s even a 2-car garage with generous storage, and a generator hookup to the electrical panel for backup power. It doesn't stop there with additional storage in the 8' x 10' Lifetime shed. Additional features include a security system with audio/video that conveys, and a brand new HVAC system installed by Ryman’s in October 2024. A new roof was installed in 2017, and the septic tank was pumped in December 2022 at the time of inspection—giving you even more peace of mind. Best of all, you’re just half a mile from the Millstone public boat landing and in a no flood zone—so river life is easy and accessible. A peaceful & quiet area but just 15 minutes to Urbanna and 30 minutes to Tappahannock and Gloucester. Whether you’re relaxing poolside, shooting hoops, or grilling out, this move-in ready home offers the perfect balance of rural privacy and lifestyle amenities.
This 3 bedroom/2 bath rancher on 1.54 ACRES has it all and is move in ready! Open floor plan with vaulted ceiling, 2-car garage with lots of storage space, 20' x 40' mini full court basketball, above ground pool with deck, brand new firepit, playset, security system.
