Overview

Welcome to this beautifully updated brick-front Colonial, tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Fairfax Station. Offering three finished levels, fresh interior paint, updated lighting, and thoughtfully refreshed spaces throughout, this home combines timeless style with comfortable, move-in-ready living. At the heart of the home is the newly refreshed kitchen, featuring brand-new quartz countertops, updated stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a large center island, and a separate eat-in area. The kitchen flows into the impressive step-down family room, where raised ceilings, abundant natural light, and a gas fireplace create an inviting gathering space. From here, step outside to an expansive deck with three distinct entertaining areas, surrounded by mature trees for a wonderful sense of privacy. The main level also features a formal dining room accented by striking custom wallpaper, a separate sitting room with a wood-burning fireplace perfect for reading or quiet evenings, and a private library ideal for a home office or study. Upstairs are four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including an exceptional primary suite occupying the entire right side of the upper level. This private retreat features vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and a separate sitting area tucked away from the main bedroom. The updated primary bath features a raised dual vanity with quartz countertops, a soaking tub, a separate shower, and a private water closet. Two secondary bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the fourth bedroom enjoys its own en-suite bath. The finished lower level adds tremendous flexibility, with a large recreation room; a den/flex space ideal for a guest area, gym, craft room, playroom, or theater; and a full bathroom featuring a private sauna. An enormous hidden storage room provides an impressive amount of additional space and truly must be seen to be appreciated. The location is equally impressive. Situated within the Lake Braddock school pyramid, the home is minutes from Route 123, Fairfax County Parkway, South Run Recreation Center, and Burke Lake Park, with its scenic trails, lake activities, fishing, boating, playgrounds, picnic areas, and year-round recreation. Burke's shopping, dining, everyday conveniences, and VRE are all nearby, while Fairfax City is just a short drive away for locally owned restaurants, breweries, bars, coffee shops, entertainment, and community events. With its private cul-de-sac setting, beautifully updated interior, expansive primary suite, two fireplaces, multiple entertaining spaces, private sauna, and exceptional Fairfax Station location, this home offers the space, comfort, and lifestyle that make Northern Virginia living so desirable.
