Welcome home to this peaceful, one-level retreat nestled in Williamsburg's beloved Kingsmill community. This charming brick home wraps you in comfort the moment you step onto the warm hardwood floors. The heart of the daily home is the cozy, open family room, which sits right beside the kitchen and features a classic fireplace for gathering together. Doors from the family room lead directly onto a huge back deck, creating an incredible spot to sip your morning coffee or fire up the grill while looking out over beautiful green space and glimpses of the 9th hole of the Plantation Golf Course. Just off the main living hub, you will find an inviting formal dining room made for shared holiday meals, along with a quiet study that offers the perfect little getaway spot for reading or remote work. When it is time to unwind, the primary bedroom is a true sanctuary, complete with its own private deck where you can sit under the stars. Two more comfy bedrooms give guests or kids plenty of space to call their own. Need extra space? Head upstairs to find a wonderful, versatile bonus room over the garage—great for a playroom, media den, or hobby space—backed by a massive walk-in attic that ensures you will never run out of storage. Tucked away on a private lot with 24/7 gated security, pools, and walking trails just minutes away, this home is a warm, welcoming haven you will love coming back to.
