Prepare to be totally charmed by the equestrian paradise that is 1000 Queen Anne Drive! This stately brick colonial was originally built in 1990 and has been wonderfully modernized under its current owner's care since 2013. Today the Stafford residence spans four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 2,700-plus square feet. The home is situated in the Kings Grant equestrian community, which is comprised of approximately 80 homes, all of which sit on 10-plus acre homesites. Neighborhood amenities include a community barn as 40-foot easements around each property, making for seamless trails and loops for riding. Zooming in on the 12.76-acre property itself, the recent upgrades feel endless! During the current owners ownership, they have board fenced three 2-acre pastures; enhanced the barn roof and upgraded it to have leafless gutters (the principal residence now has a new paid off solar system and leafless gutters, too!); added a hay shed for storage of 200-300 bails and a tractor; graded and added footing to the spacious riding arena; installed a new concrete back patio; and installed a stamped brick walkway to its front door. The barn here on property has five stalls (the current owners added a paddock), large feed and tack rooms and a wash rack. Let's talk about the riding ring again! This ring is quite large for any type of riding you wish to do and has lights for your evening rides! On the set-up, its owner says, I can have my coffee and my horses in the back yard... all at the same time! Beyond the horse-centric spaces, the broader property has been beautifully refreshed and landscaped. You cant miss the cherry tree out front, trimmed hedges and the quaint garden in the back that has spawned lettuce, kale, tomato and much more. Pro-tip: There is a firepit as well as a secret garden with a two-seat swing and bonus firepit, too. Heading inside the brick colonial, a winding staircase and expansive foyer greet you. The main level is anchored by a totally remodeled kitchen! The current owner completely gutted the kitchen and invested $100,000-plus to revitalize the space. Today, the contemporary area includes quartz counters, horizontal grain cabinetry, a wine bar/fridge set-up, under-cabinet lighting, porcelain tile flooring and all stainless-steel appliances (including that dazzling induction stove with exhaust)! The bar is clad in unique wood from a hundred-year-old barn from Culpeper. Also, lets not forget that huge pantry with barn-style door access! Additional main level highlights include the formal living room with mahogany floors and bay window; the family/TV room with 56-inch TV (it conveys!), built-in bookcases and wood-burning fireplace; great room; two-car garage with automatic door; utility/storage space; and laundry room (washer and dryer convey).
All four of the homes bedrooms are upstairs including the primary suite. The primary suite includes a recently remodeled ensuite bath with slate flooring, granite counters, modernized shower with two heads and a bench, and a shoot down to the laundry room. The walk-in closet in the primary suite is huge! Of the additional bedrooms, one has mahogany floors and may easily be used as a yoga studio and another is nearly as large as the primary suite. The additional bath upstairs has a beach theme and features a double sink set-up. If and when you need it, the entire home is serviced by a new Generac generator! Location-wise, this is country living at its finest. Curtis Park and the Gauntlet Golf Club are within 15 minutes and an abundance of dining, shopping and grocery options await 20 minutes southeast along U.S. Route 17. Interstate 95 (U.S. Route 17 exit) and Downtown Fredericksburg are within 30 minutes. With unmatched tranquility and an equestrian lifestyle like no other, 1000 Queen Anne Drive is move-in ready for you and yours!
