Listing details

Location, location, location! Walk to Reston Town Center, walk to the silver line Metro station at Reston Town Center, walk to the West Market community swimming pool, walk to a local pond and jog path, walk to the YMCA and the W&OD Trail! Short drive to reach Target, Cooper's Hawk, Reston Hospital, and everything else! This brick front, end unit, 2-car garage townhome boasts a 2-level sunroom extension and backs to trees on a non-thru loop with plenty of visitor parking! Neighbors are constantly asking to buy this house because of its privacy at the end of the loop, surrounded by trees. The home has MANY upgrades including new roof (2020), new 70-gallon water heater (2023), and gorgeous new Italian porcelain tile on the main level (2018)! The whole kitchen was renovated in 2007 (except cabinets) with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, recessed lights, and buffet bar! The upstairs hallway bathroom is ready for finishing; it was gutted and rebuilt with the most expensive backerboard you can buy on the floor and walls, plus there is a $3,000 marble double-sink vanity, still in box, sitting in the garage, along with $3,500 of porcelain wall and floor tile just waiting to be installed (will convey). (Gun safe in garage is available for separate purchase.) The rear patio is Spanish porcelain tile, and the side yard was leveled and filled with 6 of rock, ready for a future patio. The basement ceiling needs to be re-drywalled after plumbing repairs were completed. Look at recent comps selling in the $1M range, including a recent end unit for $1.1M. This house will be a showstopper once again after cosmetic refreshing is done by the new owner. The West Market HOA community clubhouse is walking distance from this home, with swimming pool, fitness center, saunas, party/meeting room, and outdoor grill/patio area. The Reston Association offers annual membership passes for purchase (2025 rates were $624 individual, $848 family) giving access to their 1,350 acres of open space, 4 lakes, 15 swimming pools (some are heated and some have water slides), 54 tennis and pickleball courts, 34 tot lots, 25 ball fields, and 55+ miles of pathways for walking and cycling! (Some interior photos have been digitally edited to remove clutter so you can focus on the layout and structure of the house with fewer distractions.)
