Incredible opportunity in the convenient Three Chopt and Patterson area for one floor living with inviting outdoor spaces, plus a garage! It's rare to find this one level layout in a low-maintenance, turn-key ready home in such a desirable area. The inviting front porch welcomes you and your guests and provides a shady space to relax and take in the day. Upon entering you'll appreciate the living room's size, along with the floor to ceiling windows with plantation shutters, that add elegance to this home's cottage feel. The living room flows into the kitchen which offers gorgeous granite counters, under cabinet and recessed lighting, an eat-in area, plus a floating island for prep time! The bright family room has walls of windows for an abundance of natural light and plantation shutters for privacy. You'll love relaxing, reading, and watching your favorites shows in this cozy and comfortable space, while taking in the view of the picturesque rear yard. The private primary suite is off the family room and has its own ensuite bath, walk-in closet, plus an office or dressing room area. The other two bedrooms are off the living room and separate from the primary, offering an ideal layout for guests and an office. The paver patio is an ideal place to relax and entertain, while enjoying your private oasis. Surrounded by the beautifully landscaped yard with irrigation, you'll feel like you're living in a park! The detached garage offers parking and storage and is just steps away. Plus, the rear yard is fully fenced to keep kids and pets safe.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
