1208 Stafford Ave Fredericksburg, VA 22401

Welcome to 1208 Stafford Avenue in the lovely College Heights subdivision. This home was built circa 1957 and has had the tender and meticulous care of one family for many decades. This brick rancher has the quintessential Magnolia tree shading the large, fenced yard. It is populated with hardwoods, Nandina, English boxwoods, and azaleas, as well as an access ramp to the back door. The foyer opens into an airy, expansive living room with original, gorgeous hardwood floors, a large picture window, and a brick fireplace. It leads into a dining room that comfortably seats twelve, is illuminated by an antique brass chandelier, and presents a hand-painted one-of-a kind mural by artist John Kerrigan. The vintage kitchen offers sturdy wood cabinetry, traditional appliances, industrial backsplash, and a double stainless sink. A window overlooks the plush, level back yard and is a source for melodious birdsong. The hallway leads to two large guest bedrooms with hardwood floors and spacious closets. The hall bathroom is ceramic-tiled with a shower/tub. The primary bedroom is expansive with two windows, and opens into a bathroom with ceramic tiles and a walk-in shower. The basement is partially finished and includes a ten-foot curved wooden bar with a stainless service sink. It also boasts a large brick fireplace and plenty of room for entertaining. There is also an area for a washer/dryer hook up, and a large storage room with massive shelving. There is a separate entrance to and from the basement into the back yard. There is a four-car driveway in addition to off-street parking in the front. The neighborhood is quiet and offers easy access to downtown, I95, Route 1, UMW, parks, historic venues, the train station, bus routes, and restaurants/shopping. It’s a short commute to Richmond and DC. This sound, brick home with strong "old bones" will not last long!
