CHANTILLY, Va., Feb. 2, 2012— Long & Foster® Real Estate, Inc., the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States and a leader in the sale of luxury properties, today announced it has listed, as part of its extensive number of current listings, a three-level, six bedroom colonial style home on nearly 12 acres of pristine property in the equestrian community of Foxbury Downs in Haymarket, Va. The property, which also includes a six-stall, center aisle barn and a two bedroom apartment, is listed by Anne Albright and Denise Kempton, sales associates with Long & Foster’s Fairfax Centre sales office. Built in 1999, the home and property is being offered for $1.175 million.
“This is a truly peaceful setting for a lovely residence. In addition to having water frontage on Bull Run, a tributary of the Potomac River, the community hosts 80 acres of rideout. For the discerning home and horse lover, this small piece of paradise makes the perfect mini-estate,” said Albright.
According to Kempton, the gourmet kitchen, which is dominated by a beautiful granite-topped eat-at center island with a prep sink and a 20-foot breakfast bar, is just one of the many highlights of the home’s 6,600 square feet of finished living space. In addition, the kitchen opens to the family which is accented by a wood burning fireplace and its access to an expansive back deck.
“This home has scores of cabinets, built-in shelves and fireplaces galore. The entire main level has refinished hardwood floors and 10-foot ceilings. Its open floor plan makes it ideal for enjoying time with the family or entertaining a crowd,” said Kempton.
A marble tiled grand foyer with a gas fireplace welcomes guests to the first floor where there is a dining room with a wood burning fireplace, an office and a living room and a family room. There is also a mud room, as well as access to an attached, three-car garage with a full bathroom easily accessible from the pool.
The home’s first floor is rounded out by one of two master bedrooms, and has a walk-in closet, a gas burning fireplace and a master bath with two vanities, a separate shower and a soaking tub. The second floor features nine-foot, vaulted ceilings and includes a second master bedroom, as well as two additional bedrooms, one of which has a loft. The home features four full baths and one half-bath.
A partially finished walk-out basement is highlighted by the recreational room’s floor-to-ceiling stone, gas burning fireplace and a wet bar.
The home also has an expansive maintenance free "Trex"deck off the family room connecting to the stone patio surrounding the in-ground heated pool and spa. A second deck off the attached guest house that includes two bedrooms, one full bath, a kitchen and a living room, overlooks the pool.
In addition to six stalls, the barn has a wash stall and a tack/feed room and is bordered by several four-board fenced paddocks, a holding pen and a riding ring.
