Incredible Value! You will adore this spacious retreat located on a tree-lined cu-de-sec with private street access to the W & OD trail. Located in the highly desired and rarely available Barcroft community, the owners have tastefully updated the interior while maintaining the classic charm and architectural integrity of this delightful property, including the original cedar siding. Every inch of almost 1700 square feet of living space is filled with gorgeous light and lush natural views. The airy and open floorplan is highlighted by beautiful hardwoods fresh paint and classic millwork. The magazine-worthy kitchen is accentuated by stylish avocado green hardwood cabinetry, fun backsplash tiling, and a huge westward-facing bay window for the perfect place to snuggle up and enjoy your coffee or grow your potted plants! The cozy family room is highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace, making for an inviting place to entertain guests. Down the hall are two large bedrooms and one updated full bathroom providing great options for main-level accessibility. Both bedrooms have roomy closets and double-pane windows that overlook the mature exterior foliage. The bathroom, updated within the past few years, showcases glamorous tiling and a white vanity with a marble countertop. Upstairs you will find a third bedroom, a second full bathroom, and the exceptionally large primary bedroom with large windows (as well as a playful portal window!) and a roof line that adds to the classic architecture and quintessential charm. This home truly is like no other and has character that no new build would be able to replicate! The new owner will enjoy having new upstairs carpets, stunningly maintained hardwoods and a tankless hot water heater installed in 2017. Walk outside to the large back deck, recently re-stained and overlooking a goldfish pond with a waterfall! The past owner was a professional landscaper who thoughtfully planted low-maintenance shrubs, trees, and staggered blooms! A few of the downspouts have rainwater collection tanks so that you can be environmentally conscious while watering the plants! Off to the side of the home is a playground for little ones to enjoy. The tightknit and charismatic Barcroft community is highly sought-after and one that many residents choose to never leave. Find yourselves at home with Halloween neighborhood festivities, a Fourth of July parade, friendly neighbors, and classic curb-appeal style along each street. Adding to the ideal locale of Barcroft is its access to the W & OD trail that runs from Shirlington to Purcellville. This property exudes charm and evokes joy both inside and out with its natural sunlight, unique interior spaces, fantastic pops of color, and proximity to the great outdoors of suburban Washington and major commuting routes.
