A completely updated and modern classic colonial, an open back yard paradise, and minutes from it all? Yes, 12 Pierre Emmanuel Court totally wows. This spacious home includes four bedrooms, 3.5 baths and more than 3,400 square feet of finished, refined space. It sits in the incredible Stafford Lakes Village community, which has a spectrum of amenities including a clubhouse, pool, tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields, walking trails, playgrounds and so much more. Checking out the acreage here, the back yard is fully fenced with an expansive stone patio serving as its gathering point. Dots of crepe myrtles provide added privacy and shade during the spring and summer months. Don’t miss the butterfly bush which lives up to its name – how many will you spot? There is an irrigation system throughout to keep things seamless and green. Out front, the landscaping has been recently streamlined (including a new Japanese maple!), equating to a low-maintenance and tasteful vibe. For parking, there is a two-car garage with permanent wood shelving, additional storage nooks and polycarbonate flooring. The home itself has greige vinyl siding, burgundy shutters and has an all-new front door. Heading inside, tall ceilings, tasteful neutral colors and natural light abound. The entire main level has been redone with luxury vinyl plank for easy maintenance. Highlights include a dining room with a new chandelier that segues into the open kitchen. The kitchen has been updated in recent times with new drawer hardware and electrical, otherwise enjoy a lovely mix of black/stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, a central island, and modern white cabinetry. From the kitchen, there is a totally window-clad eat-in area/sun room and, adjacent, a living room space with gas fireplace. Rounding out the main level are a half bath (remodeled and stunning!) and laundry room with custom shelving (the new washer and dryer convey!). On shelving, there are no wire racks here folks – note the custom-built shelving and closets throughout. Upstairs are four bedrooms, two baths, updated windows with wooden blinds and brand-new neutral carpet with lux padding. The primary suite includes a new fan, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath complete with a stand-up shower, dual vanity sinks and new tile flooring. We have a basement here, too, folks! Downstairs you’ll find the residence’s final full bath, an open gym/multipurpose/recreation room that is ready for your unique vision and a playroom/office space. There is so much potential and flexibility downstairs – what will you make of it? Core component-wise, the home is loaded with smart components and updated systems. Beyond the Stafford Lakes Village community, so many of the Fredericksburg region’s highlights are within minutes. At the front of the neighborhood (within a mile!) are multiple grocery stores and – within five minutes – are even more options along Route 17. I-95 access (Route 17) is 10 minutes southeast and Downtown Fredericksburg is 15 minutes away! From its location to its naturally lit confines, prepare to feel the warmth and style at 12 Pierre Emmanuel Court!
