About 12135 Canterbury Ct
How about a spacious, authentic log hometucked on a serene wooded lot—the kind of home that’s nearly impossible to find in our area? Welcome to 12135 Canterbury Court, where rustic charm and modern comfort meet in perfect harmony. Wrapped in stunning Eastern White Cedar from Maine and finished with three coats of Sikkens stain, this home radiates warmth, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal. Inside
and out, thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the natural textures and character that make true log homes so special. The roof has been replaced (with a transferable warranty), and enhanced insulation ensures year-round comfort and efficiency. Step inside and feel the comfort — soaring 24-foot cathedral ceilings, expansive windows that capture the sunlight, and a dramatic stone fireplace anchoring the main living space. A wooden staircase wraps gracefully around it, leading to a loft overlooking the great room, ideal for a home office or reading retreat. The kitchen impresses with cherry cabinetry, stone floors, stainless-steel appliances, and a handy butler’s pantry, opening to a cozy dining area perfect for gatherings. The primary suite is a true escape with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite
featuring flagstone floors, a jetted tub, double sinks, a walk-in shower, and skylight. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, with a split layout for privacy. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a fourth bedroom and full bath, along with a large recreation area—ideal for entertaining, a media space, or gym. There’s even a workshop with built-in benches for weekend projects, plus a large storage area and an attached two-car garage. Outside, you’ll fall in love with the multi-level deck—a majestic tree rises right through its center! Along with a natural front porch, hastas in the rear yard, and
simple, woodsy landscaping framed by blooming rhododendrons, you will feel like you are living in a park. The overall sense of seclusion makes this outdoor space a true sanctuary. Under the deck you’ll find additional, protected storage for lawn equipment and tools. The back yard is large and is surrounded by wooded areas that preserve your privacy. The back of the property also connects to a nature trail that connects the entire neighborhood. And though it feels worlds away, you’re just minutes from conveniences—King George, Colonial Beach, and Fredericksburg are all an easy drive, as are major commuter routes like US-301. Offering soul, substance, and style, this is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to live the log cabin lifestyle in a setting that’s peaceful, private, and memorable.
