218 Tharp

Lancaster, VA 22503

For waterfront living, a weekend retreat or the retirement abode of your dreams, look no further than 218 Tharp Road! Originally built in 1960 and delightfully modernized since, the most current owners have resided in it since 2015. This 1,320 square-foot, ranch-style home has two bedrooms and two baths. It sits on a sizeable .48-acre waterfront lot with panoramic views of Myer Creek on the Corrotoman River. Before zooming in on the residence itself, let?s talk a bit more about this land! Its location is directly across Myer Creek from Yankee Point Marina, a full-service boating establishment offering gas, repairs, amenities and more. For boat lovers and owners, does it get any more seamless or convenient than this? Adding to that seamlessness, the property has an 80-foot dock, culminating in a quaint space with room for a couple of Adirondack chairs and table/umbrella set-up. From the dock, the back yard has a new black metal fence (perfect for Fido or gatherings!) and the front yard has been wonderfully landscaped. The one-story, gray vinyl-sided home (siding installed in 2017!) has been remodeled with noticeably new lighting, flooring (check out those Pergo floors!), drywall, crown molding and baseboards installed throughout in recent years. Key areas include the dining room with adjacent screened in porch, a.k.a. ?the fish room? because, fun fact, it used to have a big hanging fish on its wall! The living room ? complete with fireplace and a large bay window looking out to the water ? flows seamlessly into the kitchen. The kitchen is dazzling with stainless steel appliances and an island as well as new cabinetry and a tile backsplash. Before heading to the bedrooms, make sure to check out the new laundry area and bathroom with a walk-in shower (both added in 2018). The bedrooms are each sizeable and complete with larger windows, ceiling fans and closet space (note the custom shelving in the bedroom on the waterside!). The final bathroom has a shower/tub combo with single sink set-up. Rounding out the grounds is a two-car detached garage. Its doors were replaced approximately two years ago, and it has a small utility room with wet sink and hookups for a washer/dryer if need be. With this home and equally as impressive as what you?ll visually see, its core components are strong. Its septic line was just serviced, its HVAC system continues to run like-new, and its owners replaced its heat pump within the last month! For everyday needs, there are multiple family-owned shops and stores within 10 minutes of the home. The town of Kilmarnock is less than 30 minutes away with grocery, shopping and restaurant options galore. In addition to all the home offers on- property, nearby parks include Belle Isle State Park and Hickory Hollow Natural Area Preserve, which are loaded with wildlife and hiking opportunities. Beyond the immediate and charming towns throughout the Northern Neck, Fredericksburg and Richmond are approximately 80 miles away for day trips. The current owners of 218 Tharp Road will miss ?the water views, the bird life and being able to go anywhere in the world from our dock.?
