Less than five minutes from the VRE and I-95... no HOA fees... and recent updates galore? A must-see rambler with stellar convenience awaits at 32 Cherry Laurel Drive in Stafford County. Under its original owners’ meticulous care since Day 1, this residence includes three bedrooms, three baths and approximately 2,000 square feet of living space. It sits in the timeless Hickory Ridge community (did we mention there are no HOA fees!). With this incredible location, the Leeland Road VRE station is less than five minutes south, I-95 access is five minutes north (Centreport Parkway) and the heart of Downtown Fredericksburg is within 10 minutes south. Multiple grocery, dining and shopping destinations await within 10 minutes, too – wow! Zooming in on the .28-acre lot here, an asphalt driveway leads to the two-car garage. Within the garage, you’ll find a work bench, shelving, overhead storage and refrigerator, all of which convey. The front yard charms with a flowering cherry tree, azaleas and an eclectic mix of perennials. The landscaping pops with pink come springtime! Out back, it’s a fenced utopia that’s ready for Fido. Additional back yard highlights include a deck (with a swing!) and 10x12-foot shed with shelving. The residence itself includes cream siding, blue shutters and a newer roof, which was updated approximately 10 years ago. Heading inside, you’ll notice a totally open living area, which was opened up just three years ago. New bamboo flooring abounds as the living room with cathedral ceilings, kitchen and eat-in areas all seamlessly mesh. The updated kitchen includes granite countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and tile flooring that matches the broader bamboo floored vibe. Access to the deck is right off the eat-in area. Down a hall, you’ll find the home’s three bedrooms as well as two of the full baths. The updated primary suite shines with crown molding and wainscoting accents, two closets (one walk-in!) and a sliding barn door-accessible ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and new vanity. The additional bathroom (also updated!) along this hall includes a tub/shower combo with single sink. Before heading to the lower level, note that all of the windows upstairs were updated approximately six years ago. The lower level here was finished in 2019 and includes LVP flooring. It includes a vast recreation room with a walkout, sliding glass door exit to the back yard. Rounding out the basement are a large bonus room (with sitting area), full bath (stand-up shower and large vanity) and multiple storage areas. The laundry/utility room has a handmade barn wood door that is totally memorable. Prepare to fall in love with the updates, acreage and convenience that awaits at 32 Cherry Laurel Drive!
