Description

Nestled on a private, beautifully landscaped .78-acre lot at the end of a cul-de-sac with parkland at your doorstep & access to Gerry Connolly cross-county 40.5 mile biking/walking trail, this exceptional property blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates in an unbeatable close-in location. The home has been meticulously expanded, updated, and improved while maintaining its warmth and charm.

A stunning 60-foot columned front porch crafted with Ipe wood and accented by dual ceiling fans welcomes you and provides the perfect place to relax and take in the peaceful, tree-lined setting. The expansive grounds feature custom stone patios and walkways, a striking stone accent wall, lush gardens, and a wide variety of mature flowering trees—creating a truly private and rarely found outdoor oasis. A circular six-car driveway, two storage sheds, and a fenced backyard complete with an in-ground pool and new solar cover make this property ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

Inside, a gracious marble-floored foyer welcomes you and leads to a light-filled living room with vaulted ceilings, a dormer window, a woodstove, and atrium doors that frame stunning views of the backyard—creating a warm yet airy gathering space. The formal dining room, located just off the kitchen, offers an elegant setting and features a Hearthstone soapstone wood stove. The inviting family room—also adjacent to the expansive chef’s kitchen—is wired for surround sound and provides a comfortable and spacious area for everyday living. A mudroom conveniently separates the family room from the garage.

The expansive chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed with 42” custom cherry cabinetry, including a pantry with pull-out shelving, Brazilian granite countertops, a center island with breakfast bar, and premium stainless steel appliances including a Viking gas cooktop & vent hood, Bosch dishwasher, KitchenAid counter-depth refrigerator, and KitchenAid convection double oven. Abundant recessed and under-cabinet lighting complete this well-appointed space.

The main level also features three bedrooms, including one of two primary suites with a skylight, built-in cabinets and bookshelves, en-suite bath, and sliding glass doors providing direct access to the patio and pool. Upstairs, the expansive owner’s retreat offers a luxurious escape with vaulted ceilings, dual walk-in closets, a generous sitting area, and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. An additional large bedroom with soaring ceilings and ample closet space, a full bath, and an oversized bonus room/loft—perfect for a gym, studio, or media space—complete the upper level.

Additional highlights include zoned gas heating and cooling with a new Carrier system (2025), two gas water heaters (one new in 2020), updated thermopane windows, recessed lighting throughout, and tremendous closet and storage space. Four sets of atrium doors provide seamless access to the private backyard retreat with custom pool, stone patio, and walkways.

Ideally located less than a mile from major commuter routes, Metro access, and medical facilities, and just moments from the Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail, with park access just outside your front door.

This is a rare opportunity to own a private retreat offering exceptional space, thoughtful high end updates, and convenience—all within a neighborhood of multi-million-dollar homes.
