Surrounded by scenic nature

Ranch-style home in Woodbridge sits on 1.4 acres

Step inside this grand yet understated mid-century modern style ranch residence, which provides the convenience of single level living and is nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in central Woodbridge.

A tour of the home begins in its open concept living and dining rooms, which flow seamlessly into the family room and adjacent powder room. The generously proportioned spaces of these areas will provide the ideal setting for entertaining friends and family all year-round.

From the family room, double doors lead to a three-season porch accented by a striking cathedral ceiling. This space opens to a large, inviting deck which overlooks the property’s professionally designed and maintained gardens.

The master bedroom suite showcases yet another cathedral ceiling and also includes a dressing area, a walk-in closet and a raised hearth propane fireplace. There is also access to a private deck dedicated just for the owner’s suite. The enviable master retreat also features a luxurious, updated and sky-lit bathroom.

Meanwhile, a spacious study with garden views can be accessed from either the master suite or the main hallway. This inviting space boasts extensive built-in shelving and cabinets and a large bay window.

The home’s fabulous eat-in kitchen was recently updated with granite countertops, a breakfast bar and high-end appliances. The elegant white maple cabinetry was custom built and will provide endless storage options, while beautifully engineered hardwood floors complete this picture-perfect space.

There is also just over 1,000 square feet of additional finished living space in the walk-out lower level. This large, open area contains floor-to-ceiling windows, a full bathroom and double walk-in cedar closets.

Meanwhile, the home’s outdoor spaces are set on 1.4 acres of property and offer the potential for endless hours spent enjoying the beauty of nature. The rear yard leads to a serene Koi pond and waterfall set in a professionally landscaped garden. This very private and tranquil area is brimming with lush perennial plantings and was professionally designed and created in 2012 by Nature Works.

The home offers an abundance of additional perks, including a multi-zone heating system, central air conditioning, a propanefueled automatic generator and an attached two-car garage. This listing includes a home warranty, which will provide added peace of mind.

According to Nathan Frost, sales associate to the property’s listing agent Judy Cooper, the home features a lengthy list of updates throughout. As a result, “there is almost nothing to do, but move right in,” Frost noted.

“This house is an unbelievable value!” Frost remarked. “Not only does the size and versatile, open floor plan offer ideal utility for modern lifestyles; but the truly serene setting of the property is the kind of quality that makes an upscale house like this a home.” Listing agent:
