Set on nearly 5 private acres with a peaceful creek winding through the property, this beautifully updated two-story home offers the perfect blend of space, functionality, and a setting that’s hard to beat just minutes from Alexandria. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the home has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully upgraded throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a true standout with high-end finishes, a built-in commercial griddle, and a convenient prep sink in the island, making it ideal for everything from everyday living to entertaining guests with ease. Recent improvements including newer windows, LP Smart siding, doors, and HVAC provide peace of mind for years to come. Step outside to a large concrete deck with a pergola overlooking the serene creek, creating the perfect spot to unwind or host gatherings. Below, a screened-in porch offers a cozy, bug-free retreat, while multiple patio areas—including one with its own outdoor counter and sink—make it easy to clean fresh garden produce or fish after a day outdoors. A covered front porch adds even more space to relax and take in the picturesque surroundings. The walkout lower level offers excellent potential for a mother-in-law suite with a full kitchen and private access, providing flexibility for multi-generational living or guests. A heated 30 x 72 shop with in-floor heat and an attached 10 x 50 lean-to is a rare and valuable addition, perfect for hobbies, and storage. The property also features a heated 3-car garage with floor drains, a 14 x 16 chicken coop with electric and fenced enclosure, and beautifully maintained flower areas along with numerous fruit trees that enhance both the charm and usability of the land. This is a rare opportunity close to Alexandria to own a turn-key acreage property that combines modern updates, versatile living spaces, and peaceful country living all in one incredible setting.
