What's around 3430 Preservation Dr

Federal, Detached - FAIRFAX, VA

Welcome to 3430 Preservation Drive, fondly known as the Fuller-Schuerman House; one of the remaining historic properties in Fairfax City, Virginia. Built in 1850 in the Federal style, it stands in grandeur with a timbered Georgian façade, hidden from Pickett Road by beautiful foliage. This property was once part of a 300-acre land grant from Thomas, 6th Lord of Fairfax, to John Gladdin in 1742. In 1844, Hiram Fuller, founder of the Fairfax County News, acquired the property which the Fuller-Schuerman House was built. This home now sits as the crown jewel atop the largest lot in Fairfax City’s most exclusive neighborhood, Pickett’s Reserve, walking distance to the future town center, Scout on the circle and minutes from Old Town Fairfax & the Mosaic District. This 5,224 square foot home has six bedrooms and four and a half baths with hardwood flooring throughout the entire home. The main level has soaring 12 foot ceilings and 8 foot doorways. Enjoy preparing family dinners in the gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counters. Entertain your guests in the grand dining room by a cozy wood burning fire place, complete with a stunning 14 light, solid brass chandelier. After, you can retire to the library for an after-dinner cocktail or enjoy an intimate fire side conversation in the parlor. In the spring, sit on your expansive front porch admiring the yard full of cherry blossoms. In Summer enjoy the view of Fairfax city’s yearly fireworks display. The second floor has 10 foot ceilings with 3 bedrooms, including your large master suite with fireplace, walk in closet, and luxurious master bath. Admire the charming period elements both original and carefully recreated. No detail has been spared from the selection of historically accurate colors, installation of ornate door hinges, vent covers, light switches, mirrors, expansive baseboards and casings, and intricate crown and decorative moldings. You can find the original floors on the third level of the home and charming exposed beams in the top two bedrooms. The walk-out basement hosts a handsome recreational room, complete with built-ins and fire place. You can also enjoy a fully functional workshop, full bathroom, storage area, and additional bedroom that could be used as a quiet office for a busy professional. The beautifully landscaped yard is maintained by a programmable sprinkler system and lit by extensive landscape lighting. The home contains modern windows, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing all upgraded since 2003. Fairfax City is rich in history and diverse in shopping and dining establishments, all just a short distance from this remarkable neighborhood. If you want to enjoy the charm of a grand historic home in one of the highest rated areas in Northern Virginia, look no further than 3430 Preservation Drive.
