PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Set on over three private acres backing to a pond, this one-of-a-kind 1933 Cape Cod offers the rare combination of historic charm, usable land, and everyday convenience. This move-in ready farmette is a true country retreat — with room for horses, chickens, gardens, and gatherings — just minutes to shopping, dining, Stafford, Fredericksburg, Quantico and I-95! A covered front porch welcomes you into the light-filled interior, where original pine floors, oversized windows, and thoughtful updates create a warm, inviting feel. The spacious entry opens to formal living and dining rooms. The recently renovated kitchen features marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and custom glass tile backsplash. Double French doors offers easy access to the expansive rear deck — an ideal setup for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A spacious family room with an electric fireplace, an office with built-ins, and a full bath add flexibility for working from home or hosting guests. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms including a spacious primary suite with a private dressing area and sink, along with an updated full bath. The walk-out lower level adds even more flexible space with a large recreation room, bonus room, a half bath, and a spacious laundry/utility room. The home also boasts loads of storage throughout. Outside, the property truly shines. Relax in the wood-fired Finnish sauna. Tend to horses in the barn. Gather fresh eggs from the chicken coop. Work on projects in the garage and workshop, or simply enjoy the open land and privacy. With A1 zoning, this farmette offers endless possibilities for hobby farming, recreation, gardening, animals, and income-producing opportunities. With no HOA and room to spread out, this is more than a home — it’s a lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find in Northern Stafford. Offering the best of both worlds, this private retreat is just minutes from everyday conveniences. Enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, Stafford, Fredericksburg, Mary Washington University, and Quantico Marine Corps Base. Commuter lots, HOV lanes, and I-95 are all nearby, providing an easy commute to Fort Belvoir, the Pentagon, and Washington, DC. Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, a private retreat, or simply more room to live and grow, this special property offers a lifestyle that's hard to find and even harder to leave. Note: This property includes Dominion Energy easement. There are preliminary discussions about adding a line(s) to this easement. See Dominion Energy website for details on the North-Anna-Bristers project.
