9 Blacksmith Ct

Stafford, VA 22554

Come discover a lovely gem in the sought after Austin Ridge community! This modern residence boasts a brand-new kitchen, a recently professionally finished basement, and an ultra-comfortable layout. Meet 9 Blacksmith Court! This classic colonial spans 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 3,200 finished square feet. Within Austin Ridge, the home is close to the community's pool, clubhouse and tennis/pickleball courts. Austin Ridge also includes an extensive sidewalk network, trails, playgrounds and much more. Zooming in on the lot, it's tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac and spans approximately 1/3 of an acre. Out front, an oversize concrete driveway segues to a two-car garage. Immediately, you'll notice the landscaping here is meticulous (professionally treated and aerated regularly!) and the back yard is a total, fenced-in and private utopia! The back yard includes a lovely park-like green space (super rare!), mature river birch trees, a hammock area, pergola with vine accents, 500 square-foot Trex deck, two-level garden shed, stamped concrete patio and surrounding shrubbery for that much more privacy. It is so pretty and serene! The home itself is draped in a wraparound front porch, cool khaki-colored siding and brown shutters. Entering the residence, you're greeted with a two-story foyer as gleaming, light and modern LVP flooring abounds. Main level highlights include a formal office/study with built-ins; dining room; half bath; the open living room with gas fireplace (note the cordless bamboo shades throughout that are staying!); and the totally updated kitchen! The kitchen was renovated just a year ago and includes tons of bright white cabinetry space with roll-out & soft close elements, quartz countertops, new stainless-steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, tons of pantry space with built-in charging and so much more. Just off it is an eat-in portion with a chandelier. You will love this space! Upstairs are four bedrooms and two full baths, inclusive of the primary suite. The suite is carpeted with a long walk-in closet and ensuite bath complete with an oversized soaking tub, stand-up shower, double vanity sink and tile flooring. Of the additional three bedrooms, two are carpeted including the massive bedroom above the garage it may easily be another home office! One of the additional bedrooms has a walk-in closet and one has gleaming solid wood flooring. The final full bath upstairs is tiled with a shower and single vanity sink. We have a basement here too which was recently professionally finished. Blonde porcelain tile stretches throughout with highlights including a built-in bar with refrigeration, a full bath, bonus room (could be a fifth not to code bedroom), nook for a possible home gym and utility area. The sump pump was updated two years ago and the HVAC and hot water heater have been regularly maintained. As a final lower-level touch, there's a French door exit to that back yard paradise. Within 10 minutes of the home are two I-95 exits (Route 610 and Courthouse Road), Stafford Hospital, oodles of shopping along Route 610 and within Embrey Mill Town Center and more. The Brooke and Quantico VRE stations are within 20 minutes and Downtown Fredericksburg is 20 minutes south. From the prime location to the meticulous renovations and special backyard, homes like this are a rare find on the market!
