***7/3 Open House Canceled.*** This wonderfully maintained and beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, 3-level colonial has a walkout basement and a 20x40 saltwater pool, and sits peacefully on 3 wooded acres in Stafford County.

The main level features a 2-story foyer, an accommodating dining room that's great for hosting dinner parties, a large sitting room, family room with gas fireplace, and spacious kitchen that has beautiful granite countertops and plenty of cabinets. The sitting room, kitchen and family room all have wonderful views of the pool and treed lot, and there are new hardwood floors throughout most of the main level.

Upstairs, you'll find a copious primary bedroom with walk-in closet and a luxurious en suite whose highlights include a double vanity crafted from a vintage 1920s dresser and digitally programmed heated floors. 3 more sizeable bedrooms and a full-bath in the hallway are found on the upper level. All the carpet on the upper level is new and both bathrooms have been updated with new tile and granite countertops. The Hall bath features a custom-made vanity.

The finished lower level has new carpet throughout and a large rec-room, wet bar, generous storage, an additional full bath (with new granite counters and tile), and 5th bedroom (ntc). Walk out from the rec room directly on to the pool deck and enjoy a lazy day lounging by the pool or diving off the board in the deep end, which measures up to 8 1/2 feet deep.

There is a newly installed whole house generator hookup. An invisible fence spans 1 acre of the property and 2 collars convey.

This is truly a little slice of paradise with lots of privacy and easy access to 17 and commuting to I-95 or I-66 corridors. Plenty of back roads to avoid traffic.
