real estate

This light-filled 5 BD/5.5 BA home with an oversized two-car garage sits on a rare quarter-acre lot in the sought-after Bon Air/Bluemont neighborhood. It has an open main level with a fantastic kitchen flowing into a dining room, breakfast area, and family room as well as a private bedroom and bathroom.

A stone gas fireplace anchors the family room and is flanked by French doors opening to the deck, patio and fenced, level rear yard. You’ll find a coffered ceiling in the family room, a bar with two fridges, plantation shutters, cove ceiling and wainscoting in the dining room give the room a polished look. A big island with a second prep sink and space for the participatory cook at the large breakfast bar, double ovens and gas cooktop will appeal to those with a newfound interest in cooking and baking.

This appealing Cape Cod is conveniently located between Ballston and Westover Village with a recently replaced roof, HVAC, water heater, renovated kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Plus, the home is freshly painted, and wood floors have been refinished — nothing to do but move in and enjoy!

Desirable details in the home include the kitchen opening to the dining room with a vintage china cupboard, living room fireplace, main-level bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, there are two large bedrooms with dormer ceilings to add architectural appeal. The renovated bathroom has a deep soaking tub and vanity storage. Each bedroom has generous closet space, too.
