Welcome to Cardinal Forest, a wonderful south Stafford community with amenities and a real sense of belonging. This wonderful 3-level home sits on .67 acres and backs to mature trees with a scenic view. The facade is enhanced by carriage style garage doors and a stamped concrete entry into the garage. Enter into the foyer and center hallway featuring gleaming hardwood floors. To the right is the formal dining room with chair rail molding, and front windows with a view, offering the perfect setting for gathering around the table. The formal living room offers flex space for a home office, study area, or traditional living room for entertaining guests - the owners added French doors to allow access to the family room, as well. The family room features hardwood floors and has a beautiful hearth with gas logs for cozy gatherings at the the end of the day. Check out the amazing kitchen! Granite counters and stainless steel appliances are perfect for the home chef to prepare meals and have cooking at home. Plenty of cabinets and a large pantry are perfect for tucking away all your ingredients and plating needs. Ceramic tiles are light and bright and offer the perfect touch to both the kitchen and the informal dining area in the breakfast area. The deck is huge and offers amazing views of the private backyard. Head upstairs and check out the four spacious bedrooms! The primary bedroom offers two walk-in closets for ample space. The ensuite bathroom has dual vanities, a deep soaking tub and stall shower, and two windows that let the sun shine in. Three additional bedrooms (one set up as a home office at the moment) plus a spacious hall bath are sunny and bright and all feature ample closet space. Downstairs is the fully finished basement which is the perfect space to spread out. A craft room could be used for guest space (BR NTC) since it has a spacious closet and access to the Recreation Room and door to the backyard. A full bathroom is perfect for guests, as well! The large Rec Room is currently used as a multi-purpose area with movie watching on one end and an exercise space on the other end of the room. Double doors lead out to the partially fenced backyard. There's so much to explore in this home and in the community. The pool opens Memorial Day so check it out! Convenient to I-95, commuter lot, shopping, hospitals, and downtown Fredericksburg for dining and strolling. Come see it today!
