420 N Hayfield Rd, Winchester, VA 22603

Spectacular mountain views from nearly every vantage point are just one of the highlights of this sprawling ranch just minutes from the amenities of downtown Winchester. Perched on a hilltop, this spacious brick home includes 3.5 acres of estate-like grounds. It’s everything you have been looking for and more. Plenty of windows and glass doors capture the light and frame the stunning vistas. A bright and welcoming foyer, four large bedrooms, three full and two half-baths and multiple gathering spaces make this the perfect home for family or entertaining guests. Two wood-burning fireplaces warm the living and dining areas (easily interchangeable). An additional lounge or reading nook with built-in seating and a dry bar connect the open concept kitchen with the dining room. The kitchen, which also opens to the living area, features chic gray and black cabinetry, a coffee/wine bar with cooler and a seven-foot island with leather-finish granite counters. Contemporary paint colors, LVF flooring in the main floor living areas, two updated wood-burning fireplace surrounds and stylish lighting give the interior a modern look. A laundry room with extra storage and an oversized deep sink is conveniently located off the kitchen. Downstairs, a basement almost as sprawling as the main house is mostly finished and partially carpeted with more built-in cabinets, a third wood burning fireplace, exercise and/or media room and the second half bath. This space is a blank canvas just waiting to be developed into your own recreation or hobby space. The property features multiple low-maintenance garden areas for puttering, relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the natural habitat that has been created to attract pollinators -- especially butterflies, hummingbirds and bluebirds. A walled courtyard, accessed from the kitchen/living area, extends the home’s interior into a private outdoor oasis. The newly screened porch, accessible from both the kitchen and dining room, provides a more casual hangout. A salt-water hot tub with views of the extensive perennial gardens is located at the rear patio. A good portion of the backyard is fenced for dogs, but don’t miss the meditation garden, hidden behind the free-standing garage, or the fire pit, located in the lower pasture, now being reclaimed with native flowering and fruit trees. An oversized, two-car garage with storage and workshop is attached to the house. A second, detached two-car garage can accommodate additional vehicles, recreational toys, lawn equipment and tools. Of special note: many renovations or upgrades were completed between 2018 and 2022, including the kitchen, baths, windows (with lifetime guarantee), appliances, carpet, Leaf Filter gutter system, water pressure tank and water softener. The well and septic were serviced in 2022 with a new well pump installed and another yard hydrant (there are four total). The Blue Oasis hot tub was installed in 2019, the fire pit in 2021.
