Are you looking for a new place to call home? Maybe you are relocating to Quantico Virginia or Dahlgren.

Well then if you haven't seen The Villiages of Idelwild in Fredericksburg...then take a quiet Sunday morning drive with Patty Blackweler the Ryan Homes sales person as she highlights the community.

The Villiages is Idlewild is a well kept secret. If you didn't know where to look, you would never know it was there. So come with us as we take a drive through this outstanding community Located between Rt 3 and Rt 1 in Fredericksburg Virginia.

To learn more about the community read the post I wrote about the community called The Small Town Community Feel You've Been Looking For Click here

The Village of Idlewild in Fredericksburg offers that small town community feel you've been looking for. Located between Rt 3 and Rt 1 in Fredericksburg Virginia this community is so convenient to the major thoroughfares, old town Fredericksburg, Central Park  and Cosgrove's Corner. The community has two entrances one from Rt 1 and another from Rt 3. 

My identical twin sister Patty Blackwelder is the sales representative at The Villages of Idlewild for Ryan Homes, so I decided to take a drive to see where she is working and what Ryan Homes had to offer.

Are you asking yourself where is Idelwild? So was I.

Imagine heading down I-95 to Fredricksburg. You,exit on Rt 3 heading toward Old Towne Fredericksburg. As soon as you cross over the highway and turn right on Lafayette Blvd and follow the Ryan Homes signs to the model home.

What I really liked was the boulevard heading into the community with gorgeous lamp posts lighting the sidewalks along the way. People were walking dogs, and children in strollers and enjoying the day.

As I drove into the community ,I was surprised at how little signage there was for the community. If you didn't know the area, you would never know there was an entire three hundred acre new homes community back there. I'm a full time Realtor and even I was surprised to know it was there.

Then I approached the model home, I saw a town square. Love it! It had a park like setting surrounded by the work at home spaces for those who have small businesses. I saw a hair salon, a pet grooming salon. Heck I would love a satellite real estate office in one of those store fronts. Then I went through the circle and saw the cutest most distinctive cottage style homes. I was delighted to see this is a mixed use community with both townhomes, and small and large single family homes. Many of the existing homes have the garages in the rear and front porches looking out over the sidewalks. The community reminded me of Reid's Prospect in Lake Ridge Virginia and a little like Port Potomac in Woodbridge Virginia. Except the difference here is the quaint cottage style homes and the way the builders have purposely made cul-de-sac and boulevard streets. It really adds to the small town feel.

The Ryan Homes Model Home is on the right across from the town square. Treat yourself...you will be pleasantly surprised. The home prices currently in February 2012 start under $320,000 and the average sales price for a three finished level home, with coffer-ed ceilings, a morning room, a fireplace, carriage style garage doors,hardy plank siding, cottage fronts price out under $380,000! Here is a photo to peak your interest...look at the coffer-ed ceilings and the stone fireplace! Dreamy...... 

There are three different models to choose from The Keats, The Shakespear and The Yates

For those of you reading this, who like what you see, however would like to be closer to Prince William County Virginia. I can share this with you. You can't touch a brand new single family home of this quality and size,anywhere in the Woodbridge, Lake Ridge, Dumfries or Triangle area. So if you are getting priced out of the market in Prince William County Virginia, you may find that Stafford or a community such as The Villages of Idlewild in Fredericksburg a good fit for you.

For those of you relocating to Marine Base Quantico (MBQ)  or even Fort Belvoir Virginia this community would be a wonderful fit for you. Commuting to work you can use Rt1 or I-95 North. 

 Best of all...a bus will take you to VRE Station, so you don't need a car!

This home is located off the beaten path of the Spotsylvania Parkway off RT 208in a quiet subdivision.So if you have PCS orders to AP Hill or Quantico this may be a home you want to put on your list of homes to see.  Currently it is not ready to show, however it will be in a few weeks. That said, the owner knowsthere are many people transferring to the area and they use spring break as the time to house hunt. This is a unique home that lends itself well to large extended families or those who need a mother-in law suite or even for roommates who would love to live in a big home yet have complete separate living quarters.

Note- the photo's I took show the condition of it this week. The new carpet was just installed, it has been freshly painted and now the contractors are working to put on the final touches to get it ready for a new tenant.
