Additional outdoor features include paver hardscaping, electrical connections for exterior lighting, hook-up for a TV and outdoor refrigerator, two storage sheds, an axe-throwing target, and a fully fenced backyard with a new fence installed in 2021.*** Inside, the home combines timeless character with thoughtful updates. Hardwood flooring spans the main level, complemented by crown molding, wainscoting, and fresh paint throughout much of the home. The formal dining room features a charming built-in butler's bar area, while the updated kitchen offers space for a breakfast table and direct access to the deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Separate living and family rooms provide flexible living spaces, including a cozy wood-burning fireplace.*** The upper level features four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a beautifully renovated primary bath completed in 2026.*** Other major improvements provide a peace of mind, include a new roof (2022), water heater (2022), HVAC (2017), garage doors and openers (2018), "Level 2" outlet in the garage, lifetime warranty tilt-clean windows, Trex decking, and extensive landscaping improvements completed in 2019.*** Located in the highly sought-after Newington Forest community and served by Newington Forest Elementary, South County Middle School, and South County High School, residents enjoy access to miles of wooded trails, community amenities, nearby parks, and convenient access to South Run RECenter, Burke Lake Park, Lake Mercer, Springfield Town Center, Fort Belvoir, the Pentagon commuter routes, Fairfax County Parkway, I-95, VRE, and Franconia-Springfield Metro.
