* * * OFFER DEADLINE * * * TUESDAY MAY 19 @ 2PM ----Welcome to 7221 Galgate Drive. A beautifully updated home in the heart of sought-after Hunt Valley, where timeless charm meets modern convenience. Thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained, this exceptional residence offers the kind of warmth, style, and pride of ownership that is immediately felt the moment you arrive. With its designer-inspired finishes and inviting spaces, the home feels straight out of a model home or boutique design catalog—yet remains practical, comfortable, and truly livable. The main level has been extensively renovated to create a bright, open, and highly functional living space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. In 2021, the seller completed a substantial transformation featuring new kitchen cabinetry, updated countertops, new hardwood flooring, new kitchen appliances, refinished wood stairs, and new carpeting—bringing fresh style and cohesion throughout the main living areas. The beautifully remodeled kitchen opens seamlessly into the dining and living spaces, creating an effortless flow filled with natural light.

These meaningful upgrades make this home truly move-in ready. Outside, enjoy a private, fully fenced backyard with mature landscaping and a spacious deck—perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in your own peaceful retreat. The lot offers a wonderful balance of usable yard space and privacy. Location truly sets this home apart, offering the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and commuter convenience. Ideally situated just steps from Hunt Valley Elementary and the Hunt Valley Community Pool, residents enjoy walkable access to parks, playgrounds, trails, and recreational amenities within a vibrant, established community. Located in the highly sought-after West Springfield High School pyramid, the home also offers exceptional commuter access with nearby Express Bus service, commuter slug lines, Springfield/Franconia Metro, and quick connections to Fairfax County Parkway, I-95, I-395, and I-495—making travel to DC, the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, and Tysons effortless. Just minutes from Springfield Town Center, Whole Foods, dining, shopping, and entertainment, this is an outstanding opportunity to enjoy both convenience and community in one of Springfield’s most desirable neighborhoods. Move in, unpack, and enjoy — the hard work has already been done.
