Description

This charming colonial is located in the heart of Centreville in the private Cherrington neighborhood. Extensively updated in recent years, the home features four fireplaces, exposed wood beams, brick accents, and many other traditional architectural features to preserve the quaintness of the Williamsburg home that inspired its design. Plank pine flooring spans the main level, which includes formal living and dining rooms (each with a gas fireplace), a cozy family room with wood burning fireplace (with gas starter), an office, a fully renovated powder room, and a mud/laundry room with breezeway access. A Waterbury kitchen is well-appointed with soapstone countertops and farmhouse sink, butcher block island, and stainless-steel appliances including a gas range. Upstairs, the master bedroom with a welcoming fireplace has a walk-in closet and fully renovated en suite bathroom with Carrara marble shower, custom vanity, and heated floors. The second floor features all new flooring throughout, with hardwood in three bedrooms (including the master) and the main hallway, and new stain-resistant carpet in the fourth bedroom. The hall bathroom with dual vanity and new tile flooring completes the second level. A new garage suite completed in 2024, provides the perfect home office or fitness studio, complete with a full bathroom, skylights, and a panoramic window. Living space is also expanded by the three-tiered deck off the family room and Terrazzo patio accessible from the lower level. The private, wooded one-acre lot is perfect for outdoor entertaining or enjoying the sunsets. And Centreville's restaurants, shops, and playground are a short, leisurely walk away. Other notable upgrades to the home include a whole-home generator (2024), new heat pump (2021), new electric panels and breakers (2024), and new septic system (2019). The home features a Waldun Mill Group cedar shake roof installed in 2010 that is covered under a 40-year manufacturer's warranty.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
