About This Home
As of May 2025Welcome to 3 Brandon’s Blf, a beautifully updated split-foyer home in Stafford's Bayview Estates community with NO HOA. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac at the back of the community overlooking Aquia Creek, this home offers one of the largest, flattest fenced backyards in the neighborhood—perfect for outdoor enjoyment (and wired for a hot tub). This move-in-ready home features an updated kitchen (2025) with quartz countertops, two primary suites, and hardwood and hard-surface flooring throughout (no carpet). The lower-level primary suite is oversized, offering two walk-in closets, a dressing area and a remodeled ensuite (2023), while the upper-level primary suite includes a Jack-and-Jill bath with a skylight. Enjoy partial water views from the front porch of your 1.43-acre lot, surrounded by mature trees for added privacy. The newly rehabbed deck (2024) and large patio (with space and power for a hot tub) provide ample space for relaxation and entertaining. Additional highlights include a finished 16x10 shed with a yoga kurunta wall, perfect for a gym, studio, or home office. Recent updates include fresh paint (2024) in Alabaster & Iron Ore, a new slider (2024), new hot water heater (March 2025) , roof and siding (2018), newer HVAC, and a recently replaced well pump. Conveniently located near commuter lots, VRE, Quantico, and major routes to NoVA/DC. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a peaceful retreat with modern updates in a prime location!
