Some homes feel updated. Others feel thought through. This one is the second kind - the kind where every improvement was made because someone planned to live well there, not just pass through.
This split-level single-family home offers over 2,000 finished square feet, laid out to give you both connection and separation when you want it. The home includes three bedrooms and three full bathrooms - two with walk-in showers and one with a tub/shower combination - a layout that’s rare for this style and incredibly practical.
The transformation happened in 2023, and it’s most obvious in the kitchen ... the true heart of the home. The oversized island anchors the space, offering added storage and seating, making it just as useful for everyday meals as it is for entertaining. You’ll find new cabinetry with soft-close drawers and sliding shelves, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and - something rarely seen in homes like this - a dedicated pantry. Add in under-cabinet lighting, and the space feels warm, functional, and quietly polished rather than overdone.
Just off the kitchen is a large three-season sunroom, a space that naturally becomes part of daily life. It’s bright, comfortable, and perfect for slowing down without stepping fully outside.
The lower level brings its own kind of comfort. A wood-burning fireplace anchors a multipurpose room previously used as a theater: cozy, grounded, and ideal for evenings when you want the lights low and the world quiet. The owner’s suite bathroom was fully renovated, and the spare bath features custom cabinetry, reinforcing how much attention was paid to everyday details. Even the entry was reimagined with custom mudroom-style coat hooks and built-in nooks, turning a simple pass-through into something genuinely useful.
Outside, the home continues to deliver. The rear yard is fully fenced and designed for real outdoor living, with a custom paver stone firepit and built-in bench seating, two pergola-covered entertaining areas, and an outdoor garden storage shed. The two-and-a-half-car detached garage provides space that’s increasingly hard to find: room for vehicles, tools, projects, or simply breathing room.
Then there’s the setting. This is a rare lot backing directly to the W&OD Trail, which runs 45 miles from Arlington to Purcellville through Loudoun wine country. For everyday use, the trail takes you straight into downtown Herndon in just 2.5 miles, without ever needing to get in the car. It’s a lifestyle feature that quietly becomes part of your routine before you realize how valuable it is. The home faces northeast, welcoming gentle morning light while avoiding harsh afternoon sun.
There’s no HOA, and convenience is close at hand: just a two-minute drive to Route 28, quick access to groceries, restaurants, and shops, and five minutes to Dulles Airport.
This isn’t a home that asks you to imagine what it could be. The work has already been done - carefully, thoughtfully, and for real life. What’s left is for you to move in, settle in, and enjoy a home that feels finished, personal, and genuinely comfortable, inside and out.
Come walk the trail. Sit in the sunroom. Stand by the firepit as the day winds down. You’ll understand how naturally this home fits into the way people actually live.
