It’s a Saturday in October, and you pull up in front of the house you almost scrolled past. You step onto the covered porch with its crisp white railings, and the first thing you notice is how quiet it is. You open the door, and the two-story foyer fills with light. You can already picture yourself coming down these stairs on a slow Sunday morning. The hardwood floors carry you straight back into the great room, and to your left, the kitchen. You know right away where everything goes: the coffee maker by the window, cookbooks beside the double oven, friends gathered around the granite island, leaning on the counter while you cook, with nobody stuck in another room. You wander into the living room to catch the football game, and the full wall of windows stops you. Beyond the glass is the fenced backyard, and you can see it already: the grill going on the patio, string lights overhead, a cold drink in your hand at the end of a long week. When the day winds down, you head upstairs to a soaking tub you’ll actually use, with the laundry right where the clothes are. Tomorrow, maybe you’ll start dreaming about the lower level. It’s already underway, with a fourth bedroom, a full bath in progress, and room to finish the rest your way as a home gym, a guest suite, or a movie room. Just outside your door are miles of wooded trails, two pools, and coffee at the Grounds Bistro, with I-95 six minutes away when Monday comes. You came here to look at a house. You’re leaving with a picture of your life in it. Your next chapter starts on Wallace Lane. Logistics: located convenient for commuters, just 6 minutes from the interstate, Embrey Mill living means more than a house. Residents enjoy over 285 acres of open space, 10 miles of wooded trails, two community pools and clubhouses, a fitness center, the Grounds Bistro & Café, dog parks, community gardens, and more than 15 parks and playgrounds. The Embrey Mill Town Center at the community entrance has shopping and dining, and once again, just minutes from I-95, Route 1, commuter lots, the VRE, Quantico, and Historic Downtown Fredericksburg. Freshly painted and move-in ready, don't miss it!
