A sidewalk-lined street without through traffic, Lake Braddock Park around the corner, and Lake Braddock Secondary School within walking distance. This 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath home offers three finished levels right in the middle of what makes the Lake Braddock community such a great place to live. Inside, hardwood floors extend through the main and upper levels, complemented by updated lighting throughout the home, much of it completed in 2026. The kitchen features granite countertops, pantry storage, a breakfast bar, tile flooring, touchless faucet and stainless-steel appliances, including a new refrigerator (2026). Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with an ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower and granite double vanity. The finished lower level adds a recreation room with carpet replaced in 2022, a true fourth bedroom and full bath, and a walkout to the backyard. The separate laundry area includes a washer and dryer installed in 2022. The roof was replaced with architectural shingles in 2022. Outside, nearly a quarter-acre gives you room to enjoy, while the Lake Braddock community adds a 27-acre lake, walking paths, two pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and tot lots. Rolling Road VRE is approximately 2 miles away, with convenient access to I-495 and Fairfax County Parkway. Come see the house—and why this part of Lake Braddock is so easy to call home.
Lake Braddock, located between Burke Lake Park and George Mason University, is a wooded and lakeside Burke neighborhood with a broad reservoir shoreline and winding cul-de-sacs. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Braddock Secondary School campus along Burke Lake Road, where fields, courts, and after-hours events set a steady rhythm. Housing leans toward late-20th-century colonials and split-levels, often framed by tall trees and long setbacks. Trails and pocket parks stitch streets to the water’s edge for walking loops and quiet overlooks. Community touchstones include The Auld Shebeen, Fairfax Coffee, and the Workhouse Arts Center for nights out beyond the shoreline.
