Charming Farmhouse: 6498 Byrd Mill Road

If you’ve been looking for a charming fixer-upper farmhouse with boatloads of character, you can stop looking! We’ve got exactly that on almost 2 acres for an absolute steal! Perfectly located between the cultural hubs of Richmond and Charlottesville, 6498 Byrd Mill Road is tucked away in a quiet corner of Louisa County.

This home is the textbook definition of “good bones.” At 82 years old, the home is ready for an interior cosmetic update–but at $120,000, even a first-time homebuyer can comfortably afford to remodel to their heart’s content. With 1,856 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, there’s enough room to spread out and really enjoy the property.

The exposed beams and white subway tile in the kitchen are enough to make Joanna Gaines swoon and the painted hardwoods in the secondary bedrooms lend a wistful nostalgia to the home’s atmosphere. If you can look past the paint color and see this home’s true potential, you could score an amazing deal.

Whether you’re an aspiring homesteader or a budding equestrian, there’s plenty for you to work with here! The property is home to a large barn, a tool shed and a chicken coop, all on 1.9 acres that back to fruit trees and a seasonal stream.

Home of the Week: 1302 Eastover Parkway

The gentle splash of a kayak paddling by, birds chirping happily among the lush landscaping… 1302 Eastover Parkway is a luxurious escape from the everyday. With a dock right on Keaton’s Lake, an extra large patio for al fresco entertaining and panoramic views of the water, the beauty of nature gets to take center stage.

After you watch the sun sink behind the horizon from the Jacuzzi, it’s time to retire to the 5,200 square feet of luxurious finishings inside. Brazilian cherry hardwoods run throughout the home, leading to the stunning gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.

The faint sound of a lively trumpet solo floats throughout the home via the built-in stereo system. Your guests can gather around the welcoming kitchen island or settle in for a more formal evening under the Swarovski crystal chandelier in the dining room.

You’ve finished a lovely meal with friends, the boat is moored for the night–wind down for the night in the main level master suite with a gorgeous tray ceiling. For extra privacy, there are Ethan Allen window treatments throughout the home.

If this sounds like your perfect day, contact Penny Ostlund for more information. 1302 Eastover Parkway is listed for $674,900 and is located in the wonderful Lake of the Woods community!

Coldwell Banker Elite Welcomes Laura Holt

Meet Laura

First, let me thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me and what I have to offer as a licensed real estate agent. I want to connect with you. I know that you’re about to choose an agent that will assist you with one of the most important financial transactions of your lifetime. Through the story of my career and personal life, you will see how my experiences have prepared me to be the best real estate agent for you.
Let’s start with who I am personally. My motivation for working hard stems from my family. It is important to me to be a good example for my children. I am a proud mother of 4 boys, 2 of which are twins. 22 years ago I married my wonderful husband. His support has been amazing. Together we lean on each other to keep our family centered. We all need someone to stand in our corner. This is what I will do for you as your agent.
You see, my husband and I started out as high school sweethearts in a small town in Indiana. In this rural community, I grew up on a family farm. This is where my parents taught me the value of hard work. As I matured, I graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Dental Hygiene and later obtained a Bachelors Degree in Health Science Education. My career in Dentistry taught me how to care for people while keeping their best interests in the forefront. My personal code of ethics is very similar in real estate. Educate, be honest, and abide by the regulations of the law.
Let me answer the question of why I chose real estate as a profession. My interest in the real estate field began with moving experiences. I have relocated multiple times. We have lived in Indiana, the Chicago area, North Dakota, and now Virginia. Yes, North Dakota is cold. Maybe this is why I love the warm summer in Virginia. However, through each move there were ups and downs. There was always excitement at the beginning of each new adventure and a flood of emotions telling our friends and family goodbye. Thankfully, a real estate agent stood by our side helping us sell and then buy our next home. Just like these agents, I care about my clients on a personal level. You can trust me to look out for your best interests.
I partner with Coldwell Banker Elite of Stafford Virginia, because they provide me with the best tools to get the job done in the current real estate market. In return, I will partner with you and your family to sell or purchase your next home.

Meet Leslie

I grew up in the Northern Virginia area and after serving in the United States Marine Corps I decided to make Stafford my home. I developed an interest in real estate shortly after purchasing my second home here in Stafford. I love helping people accomplish their goals and would love to make home-buying a memorable experience for everyone I meet. I have worked the insurance industry, Federal Government and in Federal contracting and understand the needs of families in similar situations. I will strive to provide integrity, energy, hard work and creative services in every detail of the real estate transaction.

luisaMeet Luisa

Thank you for taking the time to read this about me and to get to about know a little who I am. My family and I have lived in Stafford for the past 14 years. Although I have lived all my life in Northern Virginia, I cannot see myself or my family living anywhere else but Stafford.
I am a mother of 4 wonderful children, two dogs and a cat. I started to work at the age of 17 years old in retail while going to school and then became an office administrator. In my career the thing I have enjoyed the most is working with people–each one that I encounter has taught me about life–but the ones who really give me the strength are my family and my faith. In all that I do, I always strive to do my very best and you can be sure I will do everything I can to help you buy your next home or sell your current home. Working with  the the best team and company in Virginia is half of the work and Coldwell Banker Elite is the number one company in the region!
