Green Leaf Run isn’t settling, it’s like a secret. Not only is it finished in a way you never imagined you could call home, it may be well below your budget. Fawn Lake looks like an elite gated resort, but it feels like when neighbors are your friends, and you all watch kids playing outside until the sun sets, and gather for block parties or spaghetti Sundays.   Step in the front door and take a deep breath. The front office may entice you to finish up some work, or just close it behind the french glass doors as you head straight to the family room and relax.  But if the kitchen is alive with sounds, smells, and some cafe music, I don’t know how you could start anywhere else but the heart of the home. Stainless appliances, tall white shaker cabinets, and quartz counters so abundant, it will please any aspiring chef or baker. Oversized navy blue island offers front row seating for making cookies or memories of weekend brunch. The deck is just a few steps away, or the more formal dining room inside let you choose the just right stage for any meal. The dramatic drop zone from the 2 car garage is an additional luxury on this level plus there is a lovely powder room near the door.   The basement will surprise you with spaces for everything – mostly finished with carpet, even in the 5th bedroom, next to a full bathroom for guests or just convenience during movie night or game days. There is a space for workouts or finding your zen. It will be hard to turn down requests for a pool table, ping pong, or air hockey to fill this space, and it walks right out to the back patio for outdoor play time.    When you’ve enjoyed all the day can offer and it’s time to retreat upstairs for the night, the primary suite alone is a privilege with a tray ceiling and luxury bath. Not only are there dual vanities, they are separated by extra counter space.  There is a second bedroom with ensuite bath, and still two more bedrooms with a lovely hall bath to share.  Just add your morning coffee and adirondack chairs to the front porch and soak it all in. The lake has a marina for a kayak and canoe club, while the pool complex is on its own peninsula. Yes, peninsula. A fitness center, tennis, community garden, dog park, and miles of walking trails. Upgrade with a membership to the Country Club for golf and fine dining. The commute options aren’t as bad as you believe, with the right routes and express lanes especially. Only 10 minutes away, Fredericksburg has all the essentials like Wegmans, but getaways into wine country are a short drive away too.
