Tucked behind a gated entrance and surrounded by mature trees, flowering landscape, climbing ivy, and timeless brick details, 1 Hickory Road offers rare privacy, charm, and possibility in the heart of Fairfax. Set on an exceptional 17,859 sq. ft. level corner lot, this property is truly unique for its scale, usability, sun, and proximity to town. Located next to Doc Edgar Park and less than mile to downtown Fairfax, the home offers a private retreat-like setting with easy access to local cafs, restaurants, shops, parks, trails, and the vibrant Fairfax community. The approximately 2,051 sq. ft. main residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a dedicated office. Hardwood floors, abundant natural light, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a brick fireplace create a warm and inviting living space with classic Fairfax character. The updated kitchen includes crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and a beautiful copper farmhouse sink, while updated bathrooms, lighting, and thoughtful finishes add a fresh, move-in-ready feel. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the fully fenced all-level lot offers incredible usable space with mature landscaping, sunny lawn areas, a pool and hot tub, multiple entertaining patios, a fire pit, outdoor BBQ area with built-in sink, and charming vintage brick details throughout. The generous approximately 730 sq. ft. pool house includes a kitchen area, living space, laundry room, full bathroom, and fireplace, offering wonderful flexibility for guests, work, entertaining, or extended living. What truly sets this property apart is the rare amount of flat, usable land so close to downtown Fairfax. Enjoy the property as-is, explore expansion of the main residence by pushing out or adding a second story, or investigate the potential to split the lot into two approximately 7,500-8,000 sq. ft. parcels. Conceptual plans have been drawn but are not approved by the Town of Fairfax. Any subdivision, expansion, or development potential is subject to town review and approval; buyers should independently verify with the appropriate agencies.
