Located in the quaint, Rappahannock River town of White Stone, this charming Nantucket-style home has been thoughtfully renovated with low maintenance and energy efficiency as priorities. The exterior of vinyl shingles and Koma trim boards makes the house virtually maintenance free. The porches and decks that create delightful outdoor living spaces are constructed of materials with the appearance of wood, but are composite decking and low-maintenance. All floors, ceilings, and walls have been well-insulated not only to conserve energy and provide sound-proofing. Throughout the house, doors have been replaced new energy efficient doors. Windows have been replaced with double-glazed windows of high-solar gain low-E glass with argon gas fill. These windows are designed to reduce heat loss but admit solar gain. The stylish interior offers contemporary fixtures and appliances, while preserving gracious, early elements, such as wood floors, brick fireplace and arched doorways. The living room with hardwood floors and large window features a brick fireplace, creating an enchanting place full of light and warmth. Through an arched doorway is the dining room with period chandelier. The dining room easily expands through a glass, atrium door to an open porch and deck. Completely remodeled the sleek kitchen includes Corian counters, Thomasville cabinetry, resilient tile floor and handsome, low-energy black glass appliances, including Dual oven range. Off the kitchen is a great bonus room that includes the laundry with high-efficiency, front-loading washer and dryer and is a great space for an office/exercise room. The corner master bedroom is bright with attractive plantation shutters dressing the windows. The guest room is also a corner room with a view of the large backyard. The full bath design with sink built into a vintage dresser and large wood fame mirror compliments the warmth of this enchanting home. Serviced by a central heat pump system with an air filtration system to greatly reduce allergens, the home is comfortably heated and cooled. All light fixtures have been installed with dimming capability. Framed by a white, picket fence and enhanced with easy to maintain landscaping, the large parcel is divided into three building sites, affording the possibility of marketing a building site with public water or adding substantial improvements. An underground fence has been installed to safely contain a dog. Situated in the hedgerow at the back of the property, there is a masonry garden shed. This sizeable property with an in-town location affords a rare opportunity to experience small town living at its best.
