Welcome to 12231 Henderson Road, a charming, century-old farmhouse set on a large 2-acre home site in the highly sought-after, historic town of Clifton, VA. This spectacular property is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life--a world away, but still within commuting distance of Washington, DC. ------ The main house features 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, while the loft apartment above the garage includes an additional full bath. With well over 3,000 square feet of living space throughout, there's plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. ------- A welcoming front porch overlooking a stone patio is ideal for quiet relaxation and enjoying the scenery after a long day at work.

Built-in window seats on each side of the fireplace provide the perfect spot to curl up with a book and enjoy the serene view of the garden. Step through gracious French doors onto the new Trex deck off the living room to the perfect spot for your morning coffee or a drink in the evening after work. ------- The large, formal dining room features wainscoting and a stylish, modern-farmhouse chandelier. The beautifully remodeled, light-filled kitchen features white, shaker-style cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, sharp and stylish marble countertops and a chic, subway tile backsplash. Under-cabinet lighting, an oversized farmhouse sink with a gorgeous view of the garden and stylish designer fixtures create a truly Epicurean experience for every chef. ------ The main level also offers a peaceful guest bedroom with a sitting room that could double as a den or office, along with a full bathroom and laundry room. ------ The primary suite on the second level is spacious and bright, with two custom walk-in closets and a vaulted ceiling. A spa-like experience awaits in the luxurious ensuite bathroom which features double sinks, an upgraded shower with a frameless glass door, separate makeup vanity, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms and a second full bath can be found on the upper level. ------ The separate, oversized 2-car garage is equipped with custom cabinetry, a large utility sink and a recently-installed, remote-controlled heater that will allow the weekend warrior to spend hours working on the car or tinkering with the latest DIY project in year-round comfort. Above the garage, you will find a large, light-filled apartment featuring an extra queen loft bed, full bath, hardwood floors, heating and air-conditioning, and a stylish kitchenette with solid granite countertop. ------ Outside, the centerpiece of the fully-fenced backyard is a luxurious inground pool, the perfect oasis for those hot summer days. A cleverly designed playhouse over the larger of two recently renovated storage sheds is accessible from a spiral stair. A darling stone garden shed is behind the house for storing hedge clippers, rakes and shovels. The current owners have invested almost $250,000 in updates during their ownership, with some of the bigger-ticket items being the inground pool, fencing, interior and exterior painting, extensive landscaping, and interior upgrades such as high-end electronic blinds and refinished hardwood floors throughout. The owners also secured a Short-term Rental (“STR”) permit for the property should the new owners wish to apply for one of their own (buyers to verify STR rules and regulations for Fairfax County). Don’t miss your opportunity to enjoy an elegant country lifestyle on this one-of-a-kind property in a suburban location yet still within commuting distance from Washington D. C.
