8605 Cherry Dr, Fairfax, VA 22031

Description

Welcome to 8605 Cherry Drive — an extraordinary estate offering nearly 7,000 square feet of refined living, gracefully sited on a secluded 3+ acre homesite just minutes from the Mosaic District and Tysons. Opportunities of this caliber are exceptionally rare: an unparalleled blend of scale, privacy, and prestige in one of Northern Virginia’s most coveted locations. Whether enjoyed as-is, thoughtfully reimagined, or transformed through redevelopment, the possibilities are remarkable. With zoning that allows for one lot per acre, the intrinsic land value alone exceeds the asking price of this magnificent property — making this not only a stunning residence, but also an extraordinary investment opportunity.

Designed with timeless elegance and exceptional livability in mind, the residence showcases expansive proportions rarely found today, featuring an elevator for all three floors, soaring 9+ foot ceilings, and approximately 2,000 square feet on each level. The result is a home that effortlessly accommodates grand-scale entertaining, refined everyday living, enhanced accessibility, and seamless long-term flexibility for multi-generational living.

A stately all-brick façade and sweeping circular driveway create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, a dramatic curved staircase anchors the grand foyer and introduces sophisticated interiors throughout. The main level offers an exceptional flow between formal and casual living spaces, centered around a spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace and an impressive chef’s kitchen featuring oversized countertops, dual sinks, double ovens, a large center island, and rich custom wood cabinetry. A sunlit breakfast room, elegant formal living and dining rooms, and a private office with cherry paneling complete the level.

Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms and three full baths provide luxurious accommodations, highlighted by an exceptional primary suite retreat with a private balcony, sitting area, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with quartz dual vanities, soaking tub, bidet, and glass-enclosed shower.

The walkout lower level is equally impressive, featuring a large recreation room with a striking brick gas fireplace and custom built-in bar. A versatile bonus room offers ideal space for a guest suite, gym, or additional bedroom, while a full bath, laundry room, and workshop with private entrance (perfect for an additional bedroom or au-pair suite) add flexibility and function. Large windows throughout fill the space with natural light.

Surrounded by mature trees and tranquil nature views, the outdoor setting feels like a private retreat. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the screened porch or entertain on the stone patio with a dedicated gas line for grilling. An oversized garage and large storage shed further enhance the property.

Additional highlights include a newer roof (2018), energy-efficient 2x6 construction with R-19 insulation, 300-amp electrical service, hardwood floors across two levels, extensive crown and chair molding, oversized walk-in closets, a 70-gallon gas water heater (2017), public water, and public sewer.

Despite its peaceful setting, the location is second to none — approximately one mile from the Mosaic District, less than 1.6 miles from the Dunn Loring Metro, about 4 miles to Tysons, and roughly 12 miles to Washington, D.C., with quick access to the Beltway, premier shopping, dining, fitness studios, and entertainment.

Rarely does a property offer this extraordinary combination of acreage, privacy, sophistication, convenience, and long-term potential. 8605 Cherry Drive is truly a one-of-a-kind offering.
