Some homes simply check boxes. Others create a lifestyle the moment you pull into the driveway. This one does the second.

Welcome to Augustine North in Stafford, Virginia, one of the area's most sought-after golf course communities. Where quiet streets, mature trees, and beautifully maintained homes create a setting that feels both refined and relaxed.

Perfectly positioned along the 14th green, this home offers something buyers rarely find together: wooded privacy, and truly move-in-ready updates. Step onto the back deck, the stone patio or into the screened porch and you'll immediately understand the appeal. Morning coffee with peaceful views of the trees and nature. Evening dinners outside while the sun sets. It's the kind of setting that turns everyday moments into something special.

Inside, the layout is designed for real life—spacious, flexible, and filled with natural light.

The main-level primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with scenic backyard views, two closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom that makes winding down at the end of the day feel effortless featuring a large soaking tub. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide plenty of space for family, guests, or multi-generational living, including a private ensuite and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom layout that adds both comfort and convenience.

For today's work-from-home lifestyle, the home also features two dedicated home offices—one on the main level and another upstairs, giving you the flexibility for productivity without sacrificing living space. Additionally, the home has a secure network with ethernet ports in key rooms as well as both offices, ensuring fast and secure connections for work and video conferencing.

Downstairs, the professionally designed finished basement becomes a destination of its own. With custom soundproof panels and a stylish bar, it's the perfect environment for movie nights, game days, a home theater, gym, or entertaining space. There's also a large unfinished storage area—ideal for keeping seasonal décor, equipment, and everything else neatly tucked away.

The outdoor living spaces truly elevate the home. The expansive deck, patio and screened-in porch extend the living area outdoors, creating the perfect place to host friends, grill on summer evenings, or simply relax and take in the peaceful views that make this property feel like a retreat.

Additional highlights include a two-car garage, whole house generator, thoughtful updates throughout, and the kind of move-in-ready condition buyers are hoping to find.
