Albert Einstein once eloquently remarked, "Show me a house where the grass is green, and you will know of a homeowner who takes pride in their home." This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the essence of 78 Short Branch Rd, Stafford, VA—a testament to pride and meticulous care. Spanning over 2,400 finished sqft, this stunning 2010 end-unit townhouse, with its striking brick facade, invites you into a space where every detail is crafted for comfort and style.
This residence boasts three generously-sized, genuine bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a convenient half-bathroom, a one-car garage, a sprawling basement, and a fully fenced backyard complemented by a spacious deck, ideal for relaxation or entertaining. The open floor plan seamlessly integrates the main living spaces, while the tiled flooring of the finished walkout basement, hardwood floors on the main level, and plush carpeting upstairs create a canvas of textures and warmth—ensuring that no one steps onto a cold floor in the morning.
As an end unit, the home is bathed in abundant natural light—so much so that only a vampire could resist its charm! But there's more than just a fantastic home on offer.
