Updated contemporary offers room for horses

This unique property is quite a departure from the cookie-cutter colonials found in most subdivisions.

A hidden treasure tucked along a private drive on the D.C. side of Warrenton, this 3.91-acre farmette has been tastefully renovated with contemporary flair.

The brick courtyard invites guests into this four-bedroom, three-bath home. Large windows and custom French doors bring in plenty of natural light and views.

Floors throughout most of the home are of beautiful red oak, and each room opens to several porches and balconies.

The main level boasts an open dining and living room area with a brick fireplace, surrounded by outdoor views from the large windows.

The kitchen is bright and airy, with updated appliances and a wet bar area.

A guest suite opens to one of the balconies and includes its own luxury bathroom.

On the upper level is a huge master suite with a second fireplace, sitting area and luxury bathroom with jetted tub and a walk-in shower.

Two other guest rooms open to a balcony and share an updated full bathroom with a skylight.

A sauna, media area, cedar closet and room for storage can be found on the lower level.

The outside is as inviting as the inside, with many flowering shrubs, perennials and a magnificent magnolia tree. Most of the acreage is cleared and includes four-board oak fencing, a two-stall barn with tack room, and a 12x20 workshop with electricity and phone. A small stream meanders along the back of the property.

With no HOA or restrictions, this property is a stylish retreat that offers both privacy and convenience. It even includes a friendly goat.
