If living in a family-oriented neighborhood… enjoying oodles of recent upgrades… and being within seamless reach of so much Fredericksburg goodness all sound appealing, prepare to be dazzled by 5528 Tallow Street! Quietly nestled south of Leavells Road on a corner lot within the Oak Grove community, this split-level residence includes three bedrooms, two full baths and nearly 1,800 square feet of living space. It sits on a quarter-acre plus lot that is loaded with a lovely mix of mature and updated accents. Looking at the front yard, an asphalt driveway segues to a two-car garage. Within it, note the workbench and fridge (convey!), above-head storage space and automatic door (new garage door motor as of 2024). The front yard also includes three flower boxes, tasteful crepe myrtles and, along the side of the property, beautiful rose bushes. The back yard is fully fenced with two gates. The space is beautifully shaded by trees and includes a gigantic butterfly bush, firepit and paver stone patio with built-in storage. Above the patio is a screened-in deck for taking in the serene landscape! The home itself is a yellow hue with popping orange-red shutters. Heading inside the split-level residence, you’ll notice so many updated elements since 2020 – new windows, vinyl plank flooring, paint and more. Upstairs is the living room and kitchen. Note the kitchen was updated in 2021 and includes fresh cream and blue cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel and black appliances (note the hood vent plus a 6-month-old dishwasher!), pot filler, deep sink, unique coffee bar and walk-in pantry with plenty of shelving – wow! We do have two carpeted bedrooms with ample closet space and a full bath (tub/shower combo) upstairs as well. Note that one of the bedrooms has a built-in Murphy bed. Heading down to the lower level you’ll find the extra-large, carpeted primary suite. It includes a massive walk-in closet (with its own chandelier… and the size of a bedroom itself!) and an updated ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and long vanity. Additional lower-level highlights include the den with a full brick wall accent and fireplace; under-stairs storage; garage/mudroom access; and the laundry/utility room. The HVAC system and hot water heater were updated in 2021, and the home is serviced by a water filtration system. Beyond the neighborhood here, multiple schools, parks and grocery/shopping/dining destinations are within minutes! Two I-95 exits (Route 3 and Massaponax) are within 10 minutes. Within 15 minutes, you can be to the heart of Downtown Fredericksburg, VRE stations (Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg), UMW, Mary Washington Hospital, Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center and so much more. This residence has strong bones, beautiful updates, corner lot allure and a magnificent location, folks! Book your showing of 5528 Tallow Street ASAP.
