913 SYLVANIA Ave

IMPROVED PRICE- 100K REDUCTION! OH SUN 12-3
Every once in a while, you come across a house that's more than just that. 913 Sylvania Ave. is that special home. The transformation from a simple brick colonial on a tree lined street with stately city homes to becoming the belle of the block is almost magical. The mission is always to keep the original charm while seamlessly modernizing through technology, functionality, and reimagining the use of existing spaces and added spaces. This beauty allows for comfortable, "putting your feet up" living through entertaining the masses- maybe a large family event, or a fabulous group of friends, a community gathering, or hopefully all of the above! The layout of this home is both private and inviting. By meticulously restoring the original footprint, there are three levels of finished living space and a lower level for whatever hobbies you may explore and by adding 1800 square feet of additional living space with the garage, the opportunity to only live on the main level, if the desire arises, is ever present. Situated on a double lot (.33 acres), it features 4 levels, 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, a Powder room, an Oversized 2 car garage, stamped concrete driveway for 2 cars, and spacious front, side, and backyard all with freshly laid sod.

Enter the home through the front porch which spans the width of the house and features two fans and a metal roof. The main level greets you with a preview of the entire home from every corner. To the right is an office/den overlooking the front yard. Next to it, is the separate formal dining room.. To the left is an expansive living room with brick fireplace and room for several seating arrangements, a bar area, and a reading nook. All of these lead to the open, airy, and light filled gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets, top of the line appliances to include a 36" six burner gas stove with vented hood, a microwave drawer, a built in counter depth refrigerator, and a built in dishwasher. The kitchen also features an ample sized island with drawers and seating for four or more. The countertops were custom designed to serve as a backsplash to the height of the cabinets. Within the kitchen is a Gathering Area which could serve as a family room or many other purposes. Sliding Glass Doors lead to the stamped concrete patio and the huge backyard. The main level also features a powder room, laundry area, and mud room leading to the garage.

The Primary Suite is on the Main Level with a Full Bath with Walk-In Shower, Walk-In Closet, and Sliding Glass Doors leading to the Private Deck spanning the length of the bedroom. The Second Level offers an additional En-Suite with Full Bath with Walk-In Shower, Two Additional Bedrooms, and a Full Hall Bath with Tub/Shower. The Third Level is a Private Hideaway with a Bedroom, Full Bath with Tub/Shower, Several Closets within the bedroom, and Several Closets for Storage in the Hallway. The Lower Level is 500 Sq. Ft. in area and has two sections: a utility room and another area with two egress windows.

The upgrades for this home are many, to include all new electrical, (2- 200 amp panels) plumbing (new line from the main to the home and inside), HVAC (2 zones), roof on the addition and front porch, lighting, ceiling fans, flooring, windows, doors, insulated crawl space with vapor barrier. Every surface, structure, and system has been upgraded, replaced, or restored.

The best part is the amazing location, which is everything, isn't it.? With University of Mary Washington across the street, downtown Fredericksburg and all it has to offer, within several blocks, Kenmore Park, which has tennis and pickle ball courts, a soccer field and a dog park, within walking distance, a quick walk to the VRE, or a quick drive to hop onto 95, Central Park, Wegman's, or numerous other points of interest-- this one is it. A third of an acre, opportunity for multi-generational living, completely remodeled, and an awesome neighborhood.
