    What the owner loves about this home
    What We Love About This Home One of the things we've enjoyed most about 712 Colony Forest Drive is the outdoor space we've created over the years. The property features several mature shade trees planted by the owner, along with a thriving collection of fruit-bearing plants including apple, peach, and pear trees, three blackberry bushes, and two blueberry bushes. Each season brings something new to enjoy right from your own backyard. The large L-shaped wraparound covered porch is one of the home's most unexpected luxuries. Whether enjoying a summer rainstorm from the spacious sitting area, greeting neighbors on an evening walk, or simply keeping packages protected from the weather, the porch quickly becomes an extension of the home itself. Inside, the floor plan has always stood out for its thoughtful design. Every room serves a purpose, creating a layout that feels both spacious and efficient while maximizing the usability of every square foot. Beyond the home, Charter Colony is one of Midlothian's most beautiful and walkable communities. Residents enjoy tree-lined streets, community amenities, and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. Recent additions include Charter Colony's popular pickleball courts, while the nearby YMCA, Midlothian Library, parks, coffee shops, and everyday conveniences are just minutes away. Starbucks and several local coffee favorites, Westchester Commons shopping and dining, fitness centers, entertainment, and major commuter routes are all close at hand. With immediate access to Route 288, you're conveniently connected to everything Richmond has to offer while still enjoying the charm, community, and lifestyle that make Charter Colony such a sought-after place to call home.
