This 4-bedroom, quintessential colonial sits on over 4 acres and offers an exceptional blend of character and thoughtful updates. Undeniably inviting, first glance brings a wrap-around composite deck, abundant entertaining space, hot tub, and the perfect combination of privacy and convenience. The 1st floor features a large foyer, kitchen, formal dining room, and living area, with a supplemental pellet stove that warms the home. Upstairs, 4 spacious bedrooms provide plenty of room and flexible living. The light-filled primary suite features a private, upgraded 3/4 bathroom, while the other 3 bedrooms offer substantial space, one being a fully-finished bonus room with its own heat zone. A completely upgraded full bathroom rounds out the 2nd floor. The basement offers even more usable space, with a clean utility area, dedicated laundry space with a convenient folding table, and approximately 350 sf of finished space - ideal for lounging or hosting! The heated garage, complete with a 2nd pellet stove, makes parking, storage, and projects comfortable year-round. The true allure of this property is the lifestyle created here. Outside, the expansive deck provides a natural gathering place, while several outbuildings offer versatile opportunities for storage, chickens, hobbies, or any vision you have! Wildflower gardens support pollinators and complement the property's thriving fruit trees, while a private volleyball pit adds a fun and unexpected touch. Extensive improvements, including upgraded windows and doors, new roof, renovated bathrooms, updated kitchen, paved driveway, pasture fencing, barn and outbuilding improvements, basement waterproofing, and upgraded mechanical and water systems, make this a rare opportunity to enjoy the comfort of home with confidence. It is a home designed not simply to live in, but to enjoy. Close to both St. Albans and the heart of Fairfax, it is remarkably private while keeping everyday amenities close at hand; truly a wonderful place to call home.
