14018 meades court

Set against the backdrop of the rusted colors of Autumn and the deep blue waters of Hunting Run Reservoir is where the loveliest Cape Cod home sits in wait, ready to meet its new owners. Tucked away in the heart of Spotsylvania County, it’s located in an area that is steeped in history. The neighborhood sits on the site where the Chancellorsville Campaign took place in May of 1863 during the Civil War. The current driveway follows the old road that was used centuries ago to transport miners with big dreams and stars in their eyes to the Hunting Run mines during the gold rush, many years before the reservoir came to be. Oh, the stories this land could tell! With over 8100 square feet of indoor and outdoor space for living, entertaining, and creating--including decks, patios, porches, and the garage, you’ll want to add this property to the top of your list. Tastefully appointed features include French doors throughout that bathe the home in light, 4 fireplaces, a main-level primary suite, and a lower level with a kitchenette. The three-story masonry fireplace allows for 3 fireplaces—a wood-burning in the family room on the main level, a gas fireplace on the lower level, and a wood-burning one outside on the back deck. A fourth fireplace can be found in the main-level suite. It’s a two-sided unit and gives a golden glow to the bedroom and bathroom. Imagine soaking in the tub with a glass of wine after a long day of work in front of a cozy fire. It doesn’t get much better than that! The owner’s bedroom has a huge walk-in closet, French doors leading to a private front porch, and a private back deck facing the water. Wide-plank Brazilian Cherry floors warm the main level entertaining areas including the formal living room, dining room, and family room that leads out to the back deck. The gourmet kitchen and breakfast room overlook the backyard and reservoir. The second floor has an overabundance of storage space, a second suite with a bedroom and private bathroom, and two other bedrooms with an adjoining bathroom. These two bedrooms have new carpeting. The lower level is the ultimate spot for having fun—from the oversized family room to the media room and kitchenette, there’s plenty of room for activities! There’s even a full bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The kitchenette includes a full-size refrigerator, wine fridge, microwave, and cooktop. The home is in the process of getting ready for an estate sale, so please excuse the clutter on the lower level as you peruse the photos. There’s also a private patio off the lower level. The two-car detached garage is oversized at 1200 sq ft and features a large, unfinished room on the second floor just waiting to be turned into an office, recreation room, or guest quarters. Outside you’ll find a quaint gazebo with electricity, a children’s playscape that's only a couple of years old, hammock areas, and a spot to store canoes and kayaks. Speaking of canoes and kayaks, have you checked out those amazing water views?! The best feature of the entire property is its location. It sits on a peninsula jutting into Hunting Run Reservoir, a 420-acre water supply Reservoir in Spotsylvania County. Known for its overabundance of largemouth bass, you can grab a fishing pole and cast off from your backyard...just don't forget to grab your fishing license! The reservoir allows non-motorized boats including canoes, kayaks, and small sailboats. The roof is original and has 30-year architectural shingles, so it has plenty of years before it will need to be replaced. The HVAC units have been replaced in the past few years, and Xfinity services the property for cable/internet. The generator is less than 3 years old. With so much to offer, 14018 Meades Court is where you’ll want to spend forever.
