Colonial

OPEN HOUSES--Wed, Thurs, & Fri 4 pm to 6 pm, and Sat & Sun 1 pm to 3 pm!! The elegant tone of this one-owner classic colonial on a private lush 5 acre wooded setting is striking as one drives up towards the home from the pavered driveway apron with custom mosaic inlay anchored with brick columns and copper lanterns. The meticulously maintained and extensive landscaping welcomes with the verdant expanse of the front yard. The owners invested over $220k in landscaping, including massive fieldstone boulders, 17 zone irrigation system, and exterior lighting. Upon entry, the vaulted ceilings reflect the airiness and spaciousness that invites one to come further in, with palladian windows providing perfect framing of nature’s wooded bounty outside, and allowing natural light to flood every corner of the home. From the formal dining room, meander to the home chef’s delight, a kitchen completely renovated in 2021. The kitchen is very open and bright from an oversized skylight that shows to perfection its granite topped island and counters nestled in crisp white cabinetry with gleaming stainless steel appliances that includes a beverage fridge and double wall ovens right by the breakfast nook. For al fresco dining and entertaining, spend it on the Trex deck with dusk to dawn lighting. In the family room anchored by the stone-accented fireplace for cozy evenings by the fire and the main level library, behold the beauty of custom cherry cabinetry built-ins. The home includes over $100k in custom cabinetry. The primary bedroom with more vaulted ceilings and palladian windows, generously sized walk-in closets and bright, spa-inspired primary bath with a massive skylight is a sumptuous space for rest and restoration. The remainder of the upstairs includes three additional bedrooms and two full baths (including two bedrooms joined by a Jack and Jill bath). There is more to appreciate in the walkout lower level such as the media room and workspace with custom cabinetry, recreational area with large bar area with granite countertops, a dishwasher, fridge/icemaker, and microwave, a potential 5th bedroom or workout room and large, glass-enclosed steam shower in the 4th full bath with decorative tile mosaic. To get to call this gracious colonial home is a blessing but to have it in such close proximity to major traffic arteries as I-95, the Fairfax County Parkway, and Route 123, and having accessibility to a multitude of shopping and dining and entertaining options makes it even more so. Having Fountainhead Park and Burke Lake Park just a few miles away provides even more opportunity to enjoy the wondrous outdoor living of boating and fishing and hiking! Homes like this one is an opportunity to make a dream a reality … make it happen for you!
