Calling all lovers of clean lines and honest design. Tucked into the trees of Bon Air's Highland Hills, 8403 Halidan Drive is an authentic Charles Goodman home, one of only two Goodman-designed neighborhoods in Virginia and a true find for anyone who knows the difference between a house and architecture. True to Goodman's philosophy, the home doesn't face the street so much as settle into it, framed by mature hardwoods and organized around light and openness.
Inside, roughly 2,026 square feet unfolds across a living room anchored by a freestanding brick, wood burning fireplace, a separate dining area, a family room, and a kitchen full of personality. Four bedrooms and 1.5 baths include a primary suite with an exposed steel truss ceiling that feels more gallery than bedroom, plus French doors opening to a private deck. Walls of glass and original wood and parquet floors carry the Goodman character throughout, and a covered porch and covered deck extend the living space outdoors over a wooded, private backyard, ideal for slow mornings and long evenings alike. A detached 3 car garage and a laundry/utility room keep the practical side covered.
The home has had only two owners since it was built. The current family moved in just three years after construction and has called it home for more than six decades since, shaping it with real character along the way. A carport off the front was enclosed around 1960, and a whimsical addition known as the Adventure Room once housed a 1948 Lincoln Continental. That detached 3 car garage, built in 1979, once ran a business restoring rare Cord and Auburn automobiles and more recently served as a pottery studio. The mature landscaping was thoughtfully designed by a local landscape professional and lovingly maintained ever since.
Wooded, private lot. Six decades of creativity and craftsmanship. Clean lines, honest materials, true Midcentury soul. This is Goodman as he intended it, unfussy, sculptural, and built for the way people actually want to live.
