Set on five private wooded acres within one of Fairfax County's most prestigious estate communities, this exceptional custom colonial offers over 6,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and an unparalleled combination of luxury, comfort, and privacy. A long, tree-lined driveway, professionally landscaped grounds, and a winding brick walkway lead to the stately entrance. Step into the grand two-story foyer, where a dramatic curved staircase serves as a stunning focal point. Hardwood flooring extends throughout most of the main level, upper level, and staircase, adding warmth and sophistication throughout the home. The formal living and dining rooms provide elegant spaces for hosting holiday gatherings and special occasions. The stunning sunroom showcases picturesque backyard views and provides a peaceful place to relax. The beautifully appointed kitchen features upgraded cabinetry, granite countertops, sleek stainless steel appliances, an induction cooktop with downdraft ventilation, and a large center island with seating. A huge picture window frames breathtaking views of the backyard, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the inviting family room, where cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, and walls of windows fill the space with natural light. A private main-level office offers an ideal work-from-home setting, tucked away from the main living areas while still enjoying peaceful views of the surrounding property. Retreat to the upper level and continue to be impressed. The luxurious primary suite is a true sanctuary featuring cathedral ceilings, a sitting area and two walk-in closets plus additional storage in the dormers and standard closets. The spa-inspired primary bath has been thoughtfully renovated with large picture window overlooking the backyard, dual vanities, skylights, a large walk-in shower, and a stunning standalone clawfoot soaking tub. Three additional spacious bedrooms complete the upper level. Two bedrooms share a beautifully renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom featuring cathedral ceilings, dual vanities, and stylish finishes. A fourth bedroom enjoys access to a renovated hall bath. Completing the upper level is a cozy loft nook, ideal for reading, studying, or relaxing. The finished walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility and functionality to meet a variety of lifestyle needs. The expansive recreation room provides an outstanding setting for entertaining, with ample space for a media area, game table, and casual gathering spaces. A spacious fifth bedroom with new luxury vinyl plank flooring serves as an ideal guest suite and could also serve as a home gym or second office. A full bathroom adds convenience and privacy for guests. The lower level also includes a generously sized laundry room and a large storage room complete with cabinetry, providing exceptional storage and organization. Additional closets and under-stair storage provide ample additional storage space. Outside an expansive deck and five private wooded acres provide an extraordinary backdrop for everyday living. Mature trees, professional landscaping, and extensive hardscaping create a peaceful retreat where nature and privacy abound. This remarkable property offers a lifestyle that is rarely available in Fairfax County. Ideally located just minutes from major commuter routes, shopping, dining, and top-rated Fairfax County schools, this exceptional estate combines secluded luxury with everyday convenience. Significant capital improvements provide peace of mind for years to come, including a 50-year architectural roof, premium Marvin windows, and two HVAC systems replaced in 2023. A rare opportunity to own an extraordinary estate property.
