Nestled quietly within the Lake Caroline community, this contemporary lakefront retreat pairs sweeping water views with thoughtful upgrades and room to host a crowd. Introducing 328 Lake Caroline Drive!
The 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home spans approximately 3,131 square feet on a .46-acre wooded lot. The home sits on a wedge of the lake away from the main community gate, offering a peaceful pocket of the neighborhood with panoramic views across Boston Cove and toward the dam. Residents enter Lake Caroline through a controlled gate and enjoy access to a range of amenities including sandy beaches, boating, fishing tournaments, pickleball and tennis courts, playgrounds and a clubhouse that hosts community events throughout the year. One of the community’s small beach areas, known as “Little Beach,” is just a short walk from the home! From the street, the property sits comfortably back from Lake Caroline Drive, creating a sense of privacy as you arrive. A light taupe exterior accented with stone detailing and a warm wood front door gives the home a polished, contemporary curb appeal, while the 1.5-car garage provides convenient storage. Out back, the setting was intentionally designed to preserve the wooded feel of the lot while framing the lake beyond. A covered deck overlooks a concrete patio that flows out to a separate brick patio, creating multiple outdoor entertaining areas. A winding brick pathway leads from the patio down through landscaped mulch beds filled with hostas, rhododendrons and daffodils toward the dock. The dock itself is built with Trex materials and sits in water depths of six feet or more, ideal for swimming, fishing or launching a boat. A well-maintained hot tub completes the lakeside landscape! Inside, the main level features hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings and an open layout designed to capture the view. French doors from both the living room and the primary suite lead to a screened porch overlooking the water, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The kitchen has been carefully designed for both efficiency and style with quartz countertops, deep storage drawers, an induction cooktop and high-end appliances including a refrigerator with a cocktail-style ice ball maker. A rolling-shelf pantry maximizes storage, while nearby dining spaces framed by bay windows invite natural light throughout the home. The main level also includes a second bedroom and a well-equipped laundry room with abundant cabinetry and a utility sink – wow! The lower level offers additional living flexibility with durable Berber-style flooring, another bedroom and a large walk-in closet that could easily function as a game room, nursery or additional storage area. A bonus finished section provides room for a workshop or exercise space, while roughly 1,000 square feet of unfinished space offers potential for storage future bedazzlements aplenty. Recent upgrades include new HVAC systems with Ecobee thermostats, new gutters and guards, updated quartz countertops in the primary suite, new stainless-steel appliances, a new septic system, new water heater, updated lighting and improvements to the landscaping and patio areas. Conveniently located just off I-95 between Ashland and Fredericksburg, the home offers easy access to local wineries, Pendleton Golf Club, Kings Dominion and the soon-to- open Kalahari Resort. For buyers searching for lakefront living with big views and a turnkey feel, 328 Lake Caroline Drive delivers the kind of everyday getaway that Lake Caroline is known for!
