3 Boston Cv, Ruther Glen
$310,000
3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths
The seller is motivated and covering your first full year of HOA fees. Now let's talk about the house. Every detail inside 3 Boston Cove has been thought through. This home has been fully renovated down to the crawl space... the seller spent real time and money making sure it was in tip-top shape so you're not worrying about structural surprises down the road. The kitchen is all new and open, but still has good separation from the main living space. You're not going to hear the dishwasher running while you're watching a movie. The full bath has modern, elegant finishes that are easy on the eyes with plenty of room to move around. The half bath shares with the laundry, which means you've got a built-in drop zone for the yard clothes after a day outside. And no millennial gray here. The seller went with 2026 finishes instead of that played-out 2020 gray. It feels current without trying too hard. Entertaining is easy. Circle driveway with plenty of parking, tucked in a cul-de-sac off the main road. Welcoming brick exterior. One level. A cute rancher that works whether you're just starting out or you're an empty nester looking for some community fun on the lake. Gated Lake Caroline community with lake access, a pool, and the kind of summers that keep people here. Under 10 minutes to I-95, easy access to Fredericksburg, Richmond, and historic Bowling Green. Caroline County schools. This one rewards the people who walk through the door
