Welcome to Your Perfect Retreat Just Minutes to DC! Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Chain Bridge Forest neighborhood, this beautifully updated home offers everything you want—updated kitchen and bathrooms, spacious rooms, new paint, and nature all around. Inside the home, you’ll find generous living spaces filled with natural light, an open and updated kitchen, and the primary bedroom on the main level. The home boasts two fireplaces, gleaming hardwood floors, built-in shelves, three renovated bathrooms, and elegant French doors leading to a deck with a view of the private backyard. The home sits on a private, oversized 13,042 square foot lot. The backyard has an expansive play area that backs to serene trees and a gentle creek. The main level offers an ideal layout for family living: a spacious formal living room with a fireplace for cozy evenings; a large dining room, opening directly to the deck for easy indoor-outdoor living; and a sunlit, updated kitchen with a large island with a breakfast bar and lots of storage. Three bedrooms on the main floor include a private owner's suite with a tastefully renovated bathroom and a huge walk-in closet. There's also a renovated second full bath, and a convenient main-level laundry room — perfect for busy family life. The updated kitchen is equipped with Jenn-Air upscale SS appliances, a Bosch dishwasher and a Zephyr Range Hood. These top-of-the-line appliances include two ovens, a counter-depth French door refrigerator, a gas stovetop, and an instant hot water heater. Documents regarding the appliances ready for the new buyer. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level is built for fun and functionality, featuring: a massive newly carpeted recreation room with abundant custom shelving and a second fireplace; two additional large bedrooms, a fully updated bath, and a bonus room behind the two-car garage. Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard is ready for memories to be made — from birthday parties to summer BBQs on the large deck with a built-in gas grill. Connected to this home is a Generac Generator, easily accessed but out of sight situated under the raised deck in case of rare power outages. Location is key for families — you're just minutes to top-rated schools (Chesterbrook Elementary, Longfellow Middle, and McLean High School), local trails like Pimmit Run, and close to Tysons Corner for shopping, dining, and family fun. Commuting is a breeze with quick access to the GW Parkway, Chain Bridge, I-495, and downtown DC. This is more than a house — it's the perfect place for your next chapter!
