Seller will review at 8pm Tuesday evening. * * * * * * * * Tucked within an established neighborhood lined with mature trees and a true sense of community, this beautifully maintained split foyer home offers a refined balance of comfort, thoughtful updates, and inviting living spaces. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, the home unfolds with a natural, easy flow across two levels. The main level is filled with natural light, enhanced by fresh paint and subtle recessed lighting that adds warmth without overpowering the space. The kitchen underwent a complete remodel in 2022, including the removal of a wall to create a more open, connected layout. Finished with granite countertops and crown molding, the space now feels both elevated and highly functional, well-suited for everyday living as well as gathering and entertaining. The fully finished lower level introduces a warm and versatile extension of the home, anchored by a fireplace in the family room. A remodeled bar (2022) creates a natural focal point for entertaining, while a fourth bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for guests, private workspace, or extended stays. Walk-out access provides a seamless connection to the backyard. Outdoor living continues with a fully fenced yard and a deck replaced in 2022, offering a fresh, updated space to relax, host, or enjoy time outdoors. Additional features include built-in cabinetry and a wine fridge, adding both character and convenience. Major system updates include the roof (2013), windows (2019), HVAC (2015), and water heater (2014). The lower level bath includes a new toilet (2026). The home is also equipped with a FastTrack System. Ideally positioned with access to Burke, Springfield, Fort Belvoir, Quantico, Pentagon and Washington, D. C. , the location supports a variety of commuting needs. Multiple transit options, including Metro, VRE, Express Bus to the Pentagon and commuter parking for slug lines, are close proximity or a short drive, along with convenient connections to major roadways. Nearby shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, as well as access to regional airports, further enhance the ease of daily living. Local parks, trails, and community amenities, including South Run Rec Center, Burke Lake and Mercer Lake trails that offer additional opportunities to enjoy the outdoors and stay connected to the community. Complete with a 1-car attached garage and a setting that feels both established and connected, this home presents a rare opportunity to step into a space that has been carefully maintained and thoughtfully enhanced over time. It is conveniently located to Hunt Valley Elem. School and Hunt Valley Pool.
