Sitting in the popular Fairfax community, this conveniently-located home is right where you want to be- near 202 I 95 and plenty of shopping. Step inside this home that has had one owner for the last 50 where you are greeted with beautiful, newly refinished hardwood floors uncovered for the first time since 1960. The home has been neutrally painted from top to bottom in anticipation of its new owners. The spacious living room is kept bright and airy by plenty of natural light and flows to the formal dining room with chair railing. Maple wood cabinetry provides plenty of room for storage while granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances bring in added function and style. The main level is rounded off by a cosy den with exposed brick walls and large windows and a full bath. A door on the back of the home takes you to a sunny porch room off the kitchen and your spacious fenced backyard. Back inside, travel up the gorgeous exposed staircase to the private space of this family home where you'll find three bedrooms and the full bathroom. Each bedroom is bright and spacious with plenty of closet space, hardwood floors and ceiling fan/light. Both bathrooms have new toilets and updated fixtures. Downstairs sits the full basement that is just waiting to be finished. It currently houses the laundry area but has tons of potential as a home office, bonus living space, media room or anything else you could desire! Stairwell, walls and floor in the basement are newly painted. This home has been carefully and lovingly maintained by the owners. This is a great home in an excellent location and is sure to go quickly. Don't let this one pass you by - call today and schedule a private showing!
