Property Description
Your Dream Home Awaits – Spacious, Stylish, and Perfectly Located! Nestled in an established neighborhood with mature trees on a quiet street, this beautifully maintained home offers the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. With approximately 3,600 square feet of finished living space, four bedrooms, and 3.5 baths, this home is just a short 10-minute walk to the Metro and within walking distance to Historic Herndon and the W&OD Trail!
Step in through the craftsman-style front door with a large window to find a timeless, open main level layout. The main level boasts a private home office, formal dining room, living room, family room with a cozy fireplace, kitchen, breakfast room, and a half bath. The gourmet kitchen, remodeled in 2017, includes quartz countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, an induction stovetop, wall oven, and a center island with a breakfast bar, making it the perfect place to entertain or prepare meals as a group.
Upstairs, the expansive owner's suite is a serene retreat featuring a luxurious Roman-style soaking tub beneath a skylight, a walk-in shower, dual sink vanity, and stunning ceramic hex floor tile. Additional updated bathrooms throughout the home add to its modern appeal. The fully remodeled basement offers even more functional space, showcasing an upgraded, contemporary staircase, a stylish wet bar, a full bathroom, and an exercise room with a newly added window—a flexible space that could easily be converted into a fifth bedroom if desired.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a spacious back deck off the family room, perfect for grilling and entertaining while overlooking the fenced backyard. Recent upgrades include most windows replaced in 2025, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
This home also benefits from an affordable, owner-run HOA with flexible policies. Don't miss this incredible opportunity—schedule your private tour today!
