Just moments from Metro, the W&OD Trail, shopping centers, restaurants, parks, and easy access to Washington, D.C., you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy everything Falls Church City is known for while still coming home to a quiet, retreat-like setting. Step inside to a welcoming main level featuring gleaming hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and a warm, inviting layout. To the right, a charming living room offers custom built-in shelving and a window seat, creating the perfect reading or relaxation space. The main-level powder room adds convenience, while the kitchen serves as the heart of the home with white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, and an open flow into both the dining room and family room. The family room’s wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character, and French doors lead directly to the screened-in porch—ideal for morning coffee or enjoying peaceful views of the changing seasons. Heading upstairs, a skylight above the staircase fills the landing with natural light, creating a bright and airy transition to the upper level. The spacious primary bedroom features an updated en suite bathroom with a floating double vanity and an oversized standing shower with a frameless glass door and floor-to-ceiling tile. Three additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated hall bath enhanced by a skylight and solar tube. The upper level also includes a dedicated laundry room with a newer washer and dryer (2021). The current owners have invested over $200,000 in meticulous updates, enhancing both the beauty and function of the home. A major exterior renovation was completed, including new Hardie board siding throughout, transforming the curb appeal with a tasteful and modern aesthetic. Additional improvements include refinished hardwood floors throughout, a new architectural shingle roof (2022), new exterior doors, ten newly added window openings that fill the home with natural light, a new heat pump (2022), updated bathrooms, a new universal privacy fence (2022), and a stunning screened-in porch (2022) perfect for year-round enjoyment. Outside, the setting feels surprisingly private for such a central Falls Church City address. A two-car garage adds convenience rarely found in this location, and the fenced backyard provides space to relax, garden, or entertain. Hidden from the bustle yet walkable to nearly everything, this home delivers the perfect balance of city living and personal retreat. As part of the sought-after school pyramid of Meridian High School, Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School, and Oak Street Elementary School, this location—combined with outstanding lifestyle convenience—makes this home a rare find.
