This wonderful 4 bedroom/2.5 bathroom house sits on a beautiful, .48 acre private lot in sought-after Valewood Manor. For 47 years, the original owners filled this home with a lifetime of wonderful memories and took meticulous care of every inch of it. As you drive up, you will immediately note the curb appeal. Beautiful mature trees and landscaping make the house “pop.” As you approach the front door you may be tempted to take a seat on the porch, soak up the sun and listen to the birds. Upon entering the house, you will be blown away by the original hardwood floors (they are under the carpet in each of the upper bedrooms too!), the wood burning fireplace and all the dental molding. As you enter the kitchen, you will fall in love with the view! The gorgeous dogwoods will distract anyone from the dishes. Beyond the kitchen you will find an intimate family room with a wood burning stove for cold nights and a peaceful three-season room for morning tea/coffee or evening wine. There is also the most adorable powder room tucked away for convenience! Upstairs you will find a large primary suite with a private bathroom and 3 generous bedrooms that share a hall bathroom. In the basement, you will find two large/open flex areas and the laundry/mechanical room. In the rear of the home, you will find trees, trees and more trees! Take note of the large deck for sunny days, the shed for storage, and the generator for stormy days/nights. Oh, and just past the big magnolia tree in the back there is an area with a basketball hoop too! The yard is partially fenced. Please note: fresh paint throughout (2023), new lighting throughout (2023), electrical grid replaced (2023), generator (2021), new siding/gutters (2020), HVAC (2019), septic pumped (2019), new roof (2017). This home is in an incredible school pyramid and just minutes from the Vienna Metro, Fair Oaks Mall, Fairfax Corner, Wegmans, the Fairfax Government Center, and Dulles Airport.
