9408 Braxton Way, Mechanicsville, VA 23116

Rustic charm and gracious living define this beguiling property privately sited on a wooded, oversized lot.   First offering since being custom built in 1990 by the present owners, this home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years.  Warm wood tones, natural materials and rooms of gracious scale emphasize the feel of casual elegance and a relaxing lifestyle.  The inviting family room with its dramatic ceiling height, gas fireplace, Palladian windows and glass doors leading to the deck is the hearth of the home.  It flows nicely into the light filled, eat-in kitchen that was updated in 2019 with granite counters, subway tile, natural tile floors, new stainless appliances, new sink and faucets, under cabinet lighting and Pella kitchen doors with custom stained glass and phantom screens.   The dining room is of great scale with handsome chair rail and crown moulding.  The spacious primary suite is nicely tucked away on the other side of the house with two walk-in closets and a beautiful, updated en suite bath.  Upstairs are three additional bedrooms (two with wool carpet), a renovated hall bath and laundry room with sink and new washer and dryer.  Over the years there have been many updates including a new roof on both the house and garage, flip clean gutters, Pella windows, remodeled deck, electrical upgrades, bathroom and kitchen updates and the exterior of the house recently repainted, to name a few.  The huge garage with workshop has a great unfinished opportunity space upstairs--the circular drive is another thoughtful feature.  Located on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from restaurants, shops, groceries, hardware stores, and less than 20 minutes to downtown Richmond, this gem of a property is a serene retreat yet anything but remote.
