Welcome to the gem of Short Ridge! If your head is leading you toward the city, but your heart strings are pulling you towards the country, here is the perfect combination of convenience and some acreage for the most selective buyers. This quaint and newly updated home is less than 10 minutes from the Reston Town center, 7 minutes to two metro stations, 15 minutes Dulles Airport and yet is sitting on almost an acre of land and backs to dozens of miles of trail networks and a tributary to Difficult Run Stream. (See maps and survey in the photos section. ) The house is situated in a quiet spot at the end of a cul de sac in South Reston - less than a mile from the Walker Nature Center and Lakes Thoreau and Audubon. Lovingly maintained by just one prior owner, the house has undergone a significant renovation - while still retaining its original integrity and charm. Recent improvements include: Hardwood floors (on Main/ Upper Levels) professional refinished. Interior professionally painted. Exterior professionally painted. New quartz countertops in the kitchen. New stainless steel dishwasher and refrigerator. New washer and dryer. New LVP flooring in kitchen. New recessed lighting in living and family rooms and kitchen. New lighting in all bedrooms & dining room. Roof tune-up (resealing all flashing, vents, securing and repairing nails and shingles). Renovated main level half bath. Renovated upper level hall bath. Updated primary bath. Updated lower level bath. Garage and driveway resealed. And the list goes on. Bright, beautiful and "move in ready, " yet also holds great potential to expand the floor plan for anyone who wants to put their own stamp on the property. The possibilities are endless!
