Some opportunities just have to be seized! Here's a chance to invest in a well-crafted Dutch Colonial farmhouse on 40 acres in Essex County. From an abundance of paved road frontage, the long straight driveway provides a dramatic approach as you appreciate open fields on each side. As the driveway turns to pavement, if offers a circular option in front of the home or a route to the rear and the 28x32 detached garage (2012). Said garage provides an enormous walk-up attic for storage or future finished space needs. Stepping through the front door of the home, hardwood floors greet you in the foyer and extend into the living room where you'll admire a brick fireplace complete with a raise hearth, wood burning insert, and a built-in wood box that can be loaded from outside. Over to the eat-in kitchen where there's more to love! Solid surface countertops, stainless appliances, an island and a large pantry all combine to earn your approval. From here, you can access a covered rear porch that provides a top notch setting for enjoying fresh air and bucolic views. Back inside, a formal dining room, a bedroom (now used as an office) and full bath round out the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find the master bedroom which boasts two closets and full bath access. This full bath is furnished with a large shower, double vanity and hallway access. Two more bedrooms and a laundry room complete level two. Outside, and beyond the garage, a large open barn could be converted to provide stables and a pole barn provides more storage. A natural spring feeds a stream (future pond?) and this property backs up to Dragon Run! Replacement windows (2013) and a 40 year roof (2011) are also pluses. Breezline internet. Close to Tappahannock and Central Garage (and only 35 minutes from Mechanicsville), shopping, dining & more can be easily accessed. So bring your horse(s), chickens, tractor, and dreams. Farm life awaits. This land has been enjoyed and loved by the same family for over 100 years. Perhaps it will now be part of your family legacy.
