Approach this stunning and meticulously built, upgraded, and maintained home across the manicured and landscaped front yard accented by its stacked stone retainer wall flanked by gorgeous Japanese Maples and flush with a variety of exotic flowering plants. Backing to Cleveland Pear Trees, now 20 feet tall, one won’t have a full view of the neighbors! Your soon-to-be-spoiled offspring or your grands and their pals will play on a grand play structure with forts, swings, and slides in the side yard, anchored by 1,500 pounds of concrete – the slides will safely accommodate adults! A hand-built, electrified shed holds all your tools and garden tractor, and fronts a storm water retention pond occasionally frequented by geese. Bulb Cypress Trees have been strategically planted in the pond – they’ll eventually be 100 feet high, and the neighbors behind will be invisible. The trees are beautiful. As you turn to the rear of the home, note the two cords of firewood under the 20x12 Trex Deck, fodder for your fire pit, and lots of outdoor living. Note too, the 5’6”x 4’ window cut strategically in the basement level of the concrete perimeter foundation. (Wait until you see the light it casts into your designer basement!) Walking back around front, enter the 2-story Foyer thoughtfully and tastefully equipped with cloak hangers and wainscotting over porcelain tile flooring. Your Office will be to your immediate left, while the large Formal Living Room is to one’s right. Flooring is engineered wood, there’s chair railing, crown molding accents the tray ceiling above and the many windows flood natural light. As you move into the Kitchen, notice the expanse of the adjacent spacious Family Room, the Breakfast Room to the outside bump out and its vaulted ceiling and the large Trex Deck. Many more windows fill the home with light. Ceiling Fans ventilate the area, while a Gas Fireplace warms on Winter nights, illumined by recessed lighting. Flooring in the Kitchen is porcelain tile, while other areas are engineered wood. The Fireplace and the Basement and Main Floor are heated by gas from a 500-gallon in-ground owned propane tank. Kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, lots of cabinetry storage, granite countertops, a double sink, and a large island. There are also granite countertops in the Walk-in Pantry which also holds a Laundry Room. It has a special lockable area too. (Granite tops are also installed in the Wine Bar in the Basement!) It is decorated with custom tile backsplash, includes cabinets, a microwave, and a refrigerator, while flooring is porcelain tile. There’s a nearby full bath, a 5th Bedroom, a huge Recreation Room (lit by the 5.5 x 4-foot window mentioned previously.) Flooring in the Rec Room is carbonized stranded bamboo set upon a sub-flooring system, a floating floor. The Media Room is sound proofed, and the entire basement ceiling is insulated. There are literally 250 pieces of upgraded trim in the Media Room. The storage and utility room in the basement includes a plumbing manifold, and the 80-gallon Hot water Heater is a very efficient electric hybrid. Second level has a sumptuous and serene Primary Bedroom and Bath, a huge Walk-in Closet, and the well-considered floor plan easily includes 3 additional large bedrooms for family or guests. There's much storage in the Garage with shelving, work bench and an entire floored storage room above the garage accessed by pull-down stairs. (There's a list of all the amenities, and improvements in document section.) Hopyard Farm is amenity rich with Community Club House complete with pool, tennis courts, fitness room, and billiards room! The Rappahannock River is nearby and there’s a community boat ramp. The subdivision is conveniently located within commuting distance to Dahlgren, Southern Maryland, Richmond, Fredericksburg, or Quantico! Welcome Home!
