A Tour of the Home at 23 Tally Ho Drive
This charming cape cod home was designed specifically for the owners by an architect and beautifully
built by a custom home builder, both of whom collaborated on other notable custom homes in the
Fredericksburg area during the 1980s. As you tour this home and see the wide plank hardwood floors,
dentil crown molding, chair rail, and wainscoting in the formal living and dining rooms each with a
fireplace, youll feel like youve stepped back 250 years into one of the fine period houses of Colonial
Williamsburg. But of course, since its 2022, not 1772, all the modern amenities essential for modern
living are included. The fully equipped kitchen opens to the welcoming family room combine to comprise
the back of the 1st floor and features exposed beams, crown molding, and custom milled poplar paneling
surrounding a fireplace outfitted with remote control gas logs. To get a great view of the serene,
wooded back yard and gardens, step into the comfortable sunroom with lots of memorabilia from the
owners travels. Take time to look around and appreciate the custombuilt corner cabinet installed
when the room was converted from a screened porch to make the space useable yearround. If the
weather is favorable, step outside to the multilevel deck and down to the stone patio. Returning back to
the kitchen, you can go down the stairs to the full, unfinished basement with lots of custommade
shelves, a large wooden storage cabinet, a stainlesssteel sidebyside refrigerator, a large workshop
area, and LG front load washer and dryer. Once you are back in the kitchen, you can step out into the
spacious twocar garage with custommade shelves, and LiftMaster belt drive garage door openers.
When you are ready, return to the foyer, and check out the recently updated powder room, large entry
closet, and then climb the formal staircase to the second floor. To your left at the top of the staircase
youll see a full bathroom, and two large, tastefully decorated bedrooms one of which serves as an office
for one of the owners. To the right at the top of the stairs is the large primary bedroom with ensuite
bathroom, and several closets. Once youve had a chance to look around and appreciate the design and
workmanship, you can step into the adjoining room, over the garage, which serves as a very large library
and study. From there, you can go down the back staircase which leads into the kitchen which ends
your tour of this beautiful home.
If you can imagine yourself living in this home, but perhaps are concerned that your furniture would not
be compatible with the style of the house, please be aware that the owners would consider selling the
existing furnishings. That way, you could start living here from the moment you walk in the door
without the stress or expense of acquiring or moving a houseful of furniture.
