Location, Location! 2 miles from the VRE, 2 miles from George Mason University, 6 miles from the Beltway, and close to Burke Lake, Old Town Fairfax, and many restaurants and shopping options! Welcome to this five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath gem in the heart of the beloved Middleridge neighborhood. Tucked away on a quiet private drive with an extended driveway and charming curb appeal, this home has been a part of one family’s story for over 40 years. Now, for the first time since it was built, it is ready to welcome new owners to make memories of their own. From neighborhood bike rides to backyard barbecues and cozy winter mornings by the fire, this home has been a backdrop to decades of everyday moments and milestone celebrations. Inside, you will find a layout designed for connection—hardwood floors guide you through the living and dining rooms, both filled with natural light and timeless details like crown molding and plantation shutters. The heart of the home is the kitchen, bumped out & updated with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, two ovens, and tons of cabinet space—ready for holiday dinners, Sunday breakfasts, and everything in between. The breakfast area flows right onto the Trex deck, where you can sip coffee while watching the diverse wildlife or host friends on warm summer nights. A cozy family room with hardwood floors, built-ins and a gas fireplace make the perfect spot to unwind. Upstairs, you will find four generously sized bedrooms with plush carpeting & ceiling fans, including a primary suite with dual closets and a private bath. The walk-out lower level offers even more space to spread out, with a large rec room, a legal fifth bedroom or home office, full bath, and a fantastic workroom with extra storage. Surrounded by trees, with a large shed, fire pit and a deck that feels like a treehouse, the backyard is its own peaceful retreat. And with community favorites like Middleridge Park, Woodglen Lake, trails, and sports courts just around the corner, this is the kind of neighborhood where people stay for decades—for good reason. This home has been deeply loved, and now it is ready for its next chapter. Will it be yours?
