This beautifully maintained Fairfax Colonial has been meticulously cared for and updated by the current owners over the past seven years and is ready for someone new to move right in and enjoy! This home boasts wonderful curb appeal, starting with the lush front lawn and continuing throughout the house. Dark hardwood floors flow through most of the main level, including the spacious living room, which features crown molding and a picture window that fills the space with natural light. The kitchen was completely updated in 2023 and showcases white shaker cabinets with crown molding, a large subway tile backsplash, quartz countertops, an island with three large drawers, a built-in pantry with sliders, recessed lighting, and upgraded stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and built-in microwave. The dining room is open to the kitchen and enhanced by wainscoting and crown molding, adding even more character and charm to this exceptional home. Andersen replacement windows are found throughout. The 24x12 family room on the main level, with wall-to-wall carpet, provides a great additional living space and features an Andersen sliding glass door leading to a large concrete patio with a pergola—perfect for outdoor gatherings. The fenced-in backyard offers plenty of space for various outdoor activities. Additionally, the main level includes an updated powder room with a fantastic sliding barn door. The upstairs hosts three bedrooms and a full bathroom with a tiled floor and a tub with a tiled surround. The lower level is partially finished and currently used as a playroom, providing additional flexible living space. The unfinished section of the basement houses the washer and dryer, along with the home's systems and a workbench, offering ample storage space. The driveway has been extended, with new concrete added, along with a gate for backyard access. Schedule your appointment today—this home won’t last long!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
