Property Description

Open House, Saturday May 4th 2-4 PM Live The ‘Good’man Life Seize this rare opportunity to live in a true mid-century modern home conceptualized by renowned architect Charles Goodman. Goodman believed in using land humanely, "leaving as much of it in its beautiful natural state as possible." This pristine four-bedroom, two-bath home is nestled in sought-after Hollin Hills, a 450-home neighborhood that has earned designation on the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places. 7317 Stafford Road brings the outdoors in with floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the home in abundant natural light. Hardwood floors and high ceilings throughout make every room feel both open and airy. The entryway welcomes you with a volume stairwell, exposed brick wall, wood paneling, and a mid-century-inspired chandelier. The freshly refinished natural hardwood floors echo each ray of sunlight. All four bedrooms are found on this level along with a well-appointed hall bath. The bath has been recently updated to include a vanity with double sinks, a granite countertop, and new fixtures. Ample closet space and built-ins in the bedrooms add convenience and ease. Down the broad double-back stair, an open floorplan is enhanced by a large, exposed brick wall and fireplace with a masonry hearth. This level embodies the Mid-Century concept by allowing the spacious living and dining areas to integrate with the beauty of nature, found just beyond the glassy walls. The updated kitchen provides the cook in your household with ample counter space, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, oak cabinetry, and a large bay window overlooking a wooded vista. A second updated full bath is tucked away just beyond the great room and is ideal for guests. A large sliding door allows easy access to nature’s splendor and a spacious entertaining terrace with room for dining al fresco and gathering friends. A large day-lit laundry/mechanical room plus an under-stair pantry and hidden ‘wine’ storage area provide room for all your household needs. Key updates include new exterior paint, re-finished hardwood flooring, renovated upper-level bath with new fixtures, and an added double bowl vanity with granite countertop along with new interior lighting. This very special home is positioned off the street with a wrap-around drive and well-manicured flower beds. The driveway can accommodate multiple cars and a large Hollin Hills-style shed provides added storage space for bicycles and garden gear. The community has many charming and nostalgic annual events, from the Fourth of July Picnic with sack races and egg toss to Oktoberfest with kegs and brats. Enjoy all that this community offers, including access to Hollin Meadows Swim and Tennis Club and Sherwood Hall Library. This is the one you’ve been waiting for.
