About This Home
As of July 2025Welcome to 3 Cove Ct, a beautifully maintained rambler nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac close to everything. Set on over 3 private, wooded acres, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers more than 1,800 square feet of comfortable, one-level living—without HOA fees.
The interior has hardwood flooring throughout (mostly) and cathedral ceilings enhance the open living area off the kitchen, which also features a pellet stove for added warmth during the cold winter months. The eat in kitchen is thoughtfully updated with solid surface countertops, modern cabinetry, high-end appliances, and tile flooring. All four bedrooms are conveniently located on one level in a split floor plan layout.
The expansive, fully fenced backyard is ideal for outdoor living and entertaining, featuring a multi-level deck with a hot tub, a screened gazebo, a wood storage shed, and ample space for gardening or relaxation. In addition to the attached garage—complete with built-in shelving, a workbench, and a refrigerator that conveys—the property also includes a large carport suitable for RV parking.
This home provides the perfect blend of privacy and convenience, with easy access to nearby shopping, dining, and commuter routes—all in a peaceful, established neighborhood. Convenient to Quantico MCB, the VRE, I-95, commuter lots and shopping.
