From the owner... Dear Prospective Buyer, Welcome to 3414 Ramsgate Terrace. We have loved this home since we first arrived in Virginia, and have been grateful for the special memories created here. We brought our younger daughter home for the first time and she spent her first few hours looking out the big picture window in the living room. Both of our children have learned to walk in this house. And our older daughter has learned to ride her first bike in the driveway. We have built snowmen and sledded down the front hill and around the big backyard. In warm and cool weather, we enjoy eating family meals on the huge, screened-in porch, and the adjoining deck has a park-like feel in the evenings. The porch has been ideal for gatherings, birthday parties, and slow weekend mornings with a cup of coffee. Our daughters love helping us in the organic vegetable garden, which we put in just below the deck. And they have learned to love vegetables in this home, for which we are very grateful. When we moved in, there was an above-ground pool, which we removed and replaced with sod, making the backyard feel very spacious. The children and the puppy love playing and running around back there. Our neighborhood is wonderful for family evening strolls with the dog, and is also a great place for jogging. On warm spring evenings, all the neighbors are out, and friends are quickly made. Cardinals frequent our yard in the mornings and are beautiful to watch. It’s beautiful to look up at the snowflakes swirling on a winter afternoon from the cozy den. And we love having a fire burning on chilly evenings while sipping hot cocoa by candlelight. What we love best of all about this home, is its location on George Washington’s original five farms. We have gone to Mount Vernon for so many special festivals and activities that it feels like a second home to us. Mount Vernon is our go-to destination for the 4th of July. After we moved in, we joined the Neighborhood Friends of Mount Vernon and obtained the historical plaque for the entryway. We’ve spent many happy hours with our daughters preparing delicious family meals and treats in the cozy, bright kitchen. Birthday cakes have been baked here with chocolate buttercream frosting, chickens have been roasted and frequently, the aroma of fresh bread has wafted from the beloved, white kitchen. We got a new refrigerator last year and there’s something so luxurious about the ice maker and measured-fill options. And the jetted tub is a wonderful place for “bubble balls” for the little ones, or a relaxing haven for an adult. This has been a happy home since it was built, and we have been very grateful for it since relocating across country. We hope you may continue the homey blessings in this lovely home. Best Regards, The Symanskis
