Straight out of a fairy tale, this stone storybook cottage is waiting for you to call home. With an expansive yard that is surrounded by woods and mature plantings, privacy is not an issue. The stonework and charming architecture welcome you as you walk through the original wooden round top front door. Incredible original features flow throughout the home from hardwood floors, to a stone surround fireplace and wooden banister. Freshly painted throughout, the home is your blank canvas to fill with love and decorate to your hearts content. The kitchen is well set up for a chef with ample space to move around and great cabinet space. There is room to have a mudroom bench and to hang daily use items. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and features an ensuite bath. Adjacent to the primary bath is a closet which is plumbed for laundry, should a new owner like to add machines. The dining room is located just off the kitchen and also opens to the living room with windows overlook the lovely front yard with mature plantings. The living room is very spacious and has windows on three sides overlooking a very green and private yard. The fireplace makes for a cozy ambiance and warms the room on cooler evenings. Upstairs two bedrooms and a full bath with tub have unique built-ins and large closets. There is a window seat in the larger bedroom, again overlooking the yard and forest. It makes for a wonderful book reading nook or bird watching as many unique birds come to the yard. A fabulous bird chorus greets you in the morning and it would not be out of a place to see a deer family pass through. This magical woodland feels miles away from everything, but is conveniently located just off Franconia Road and only a few minutes drive to 495. Access to 395 and 95 is just a touch farther and near the Springfield Mall where you can find all the big box stores and grocery. Also convenient to Kingstowne shops and restaurants, the options are abundant.
