Property Description
This home's exquisite detail and unparalleled construction quality set it apart from conventional new construction projects in Northern Virginia. * Turning into the driveway and driving through the stone and iron property gate, the unusual character of this house looms large. The over 6.500 square foot home's exterior is through brick and West Virginia FieldStone, expertly matched in color and texture, an intricate method ensuring both structural integrity and visual allure. Three composite decks, a grand composite stairway from the main level to the yard, a two-car garage, and a separate one-car garage that enters directly into a hallway in the two-level Primary Suite, are the finishing touches to the exterior of this villa. * Inside, the structural integrity is augmented by 2"" x 6"" studs and interior wall insulation. The attention to detail is evident everywhere, including in the repeating architectural elements of arches, curves, earth elements of wood and stone, and light. From the arched tops of windows to the use of clerestory windows, glass block, and stained glass, to the rounded corners of each main-level wall, every architectural element reflects a deliberate dedication to thoughtful design. High ceilings (10+ feet and some vaulted), create an expansive ambiance in the open-flow living area, complemented by wood-trimmed windows, and solid 9' wood doors. The exotic Tiger hardwood and marble flooring help balance the space with a grounding influence * The main level rooms are infinitely inviting. The kitchen, a masterpiece of culinary design, showcases top-tier Thermador and Bosch appliances surrounded by Golden Oak granite counters with book-matched backsplashes and warm top-of-the-line cherry cabinets. A large storage area flanks the kitchen and includes the perfect butler's pantry/beverage station or bar - an entertainer's dream. * The Great Room beckons with a 50"" wide wood-burning fireplace ensconced in an arched surround of West Virginia Fieldstone, an ode to both grandeur and warmth. Transition seamlessly from indoors to out through entrances to the sprawling decks, extending your living space into your own private forest. * The two-level Primary Suite is a sanctuary unto itself, complete with a private deck, a gas fireplace, a private garage, and a spa-like bathroom replete with a double shower, a sunken tub, and a dressing area. Upstairs, a versatile space awaits, currently purposed as a gym but open to myriad possibilities such as an office or a serene sitting room. Up here there is another private deck, and a huge storage area/closet. * The additional main-level bedroom was thoughtfully designed as an In-law/Guest suite designed for ease with a handicapped accessible ensuite bathroom. The laundry room/mudroom balances out the main floor, strategically located adjacent to both back door entrances. * Entertainment opportunities await throughout the house. In the basement, distinct zones cater to diverse interests. From an Entertainment Zone primed for karaoke or fireside gatherings to a Sports/Game Zone wired for surround sound, every corner exudes fun. Upstairs, the media room is wired and ready for hours of entertainment, and the snack bar right next door is ready for a popcorn machine and a hotdog steamer. * Inside and out, this private oasis offers so many unique experiences. Located close to both George Washington's boyhood home at Ferry Farm, Civil War historic sites, and downtown Fredericksburg, the private location is well-situated for so many varied experiences.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
