Welcome to 12021 Walnut Branch, a tucked-away contemporary home on a quiet non-through street in North Reston that feels private and wooded yet puts you right in the middle of everything, just about a mile from Reston Town Center where life gets easy and fun with great restaurants, coffee spots, outdoor concerts, seasonal events, shopping, fitness studios, and that effortless walkable energy people move to Reston for, plus the convenience of the nearby Reston Town Center Metro on the Silver Line for stress-free commuting; built by Gulick, this light-filled contemporary offers five bedrooms and four full baths, including a true main-level bedroom with a full bath that works beautifully as a guest space or home office, a bright gourmet kitchen with 42-inch cabinets, silestone countertops, stainless steel cooktop, wall ovens, and built-in microwave, plus a casual breakfast area that flows easily into the family room where vaulted ceilings, skylights, a fireplace, and creates a space that actually feels good to live in and opens right out to a large deck overlooking the woods; the main level also includes a formal living room and dining room thoughtfully divided by a gas fireplace, giving you spaces that feel distinct but still connected, while upstairs the primary suite is generously sized with a spa-style bathroom featuring an oversized glass shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet, and three additional bedrooms that share a well-appointed full bath; the lower level adds even more flexibility with a rec room warmed by a wood-burning stove, an additional game or flex room, and a full bath that makes this level ideal for guests, hobbies, or movie nights; practical updates are already done with a two-zone HVAC system replaced in 2022 and 2015, windows less than ten years old, and hot water heater replaced in 2014. The location seals the deal with moments to Trader Joe’s, Harris Teeter, Whole Foods, and Wegmans, five minutes to the Reston Town Center Metro, easy access to the Dulles Toll Road and Fairfax County Parkway, and about ten minutes to Dulles, all while coming home to a quiet street and a wooded backdrop that makes it easy to forget how close you are to everything. As part of Reston Association, you also get access to 15 pools, 55 miles of trails, numerous parks, 4 beautiful lakes, 52 tennis courts, 18 pickle ball courts, a variety of community events and programs throughout the year, including festivals, concerts, workshops, and social gatherings, several community centers, including the Reston Association's main headquarters, the Walker Nature Center, and the Lake House at Lake Newport, which offer spaces for community meetings, classes, and special events.
