Property Description
Sure to be a favorite in Fairfax! Tucked off peaceful corridor of Murphy Rd. is this delightful brick 3BRs -1 .5 bath Cape Cod with open front lawn, private fenced-in backyard, and bonus enchanting screened-in porch. Mulched beds flank elevated front entry, while rounded shrubs hug home’s covered side entrance. Step inside and circular floor plan is instantly revealed. Original hardwood floors, in rich tones, and beige paint/white trim are throughout home offering neutrality. Hardwood staircase edged with black wrought iron railing is ahead, while spacious LR sits to right. Window is on side wall and triple window commands front wall and in return floods room with natural light warming the space. Angled FP tucked in corner can be appreciated from front door and adds to ambiance as much as the charming white shuttered doors that not only offer privacy but also grant access to hall beyond. PR and hall closet sit side-by-side as sizable FR or 3rd BR juts off. Natural wood DD closet works in tandem with wood trimmed glass sliders to emphasize hardwood floors and create simple and striking space. Roomy and light-filled, this space lends itself well to myriad of uses. Floorplan leads around to chef inspired, sun-splashed kitchen of granite countertops, SS appliances including 5-burner stove, subway tile backsplash border and floor-to-ceiling built-in pantry. Perched in center of kitchen is extended countertop. Built-in wine holder marks one end, bar sink anchors other end and breakfast stools are nestled in middle. ½ glass-pane door leads to side entry/driveway. Other kitchen highlights include: 5 burner professional grade DCS range, second "cooks" sink by stove, custom quartersawn oak cabinets, Vermont slate floors and filtered water! Wrap around to front of home where DR features Tiffany-style chandelier and inviting and elegant setting. Finished LL is comprised of playroom, craft room or handyman’s area with workbench, carpeted home office/exercise room, separate W & D/utility sink, and new water heater (6/22). At top of steps on 2nd floor is full bath of white tile floor, white tile wall with hues of green ceramic tile border tub/shower, and beadboard cabinet vanity. 2 BRs are expansive, both carpeted with ample natural light and walk-in closets with build-ins! Outdoors is glorious. Enclosed back porch with easy-maintenance indoor/outdoor carpeting is getaway haven! Enjoy outdoor scents and sounds with indoor comfort! Perfect combination! Backyard is level and open. Railroad ties envelope stone bed. Brick paver firepit stands ready for evening enjoyment. Mature tree in corner provides umbrella of shade and DD shed offers outdoor storage. Home has incredible location with utmost convenience. Around-the-corner Rt. 202 offers just about everything, merely 2 min. direct drive to I-95 on-ramp, 10 mins. to Wilm. and 20 mins. to Philadelphia Airport. A must-have home on Murphy Rd.!
