Listing details
Tucked away in nature, this cozy two-story home, family built and owned since 1939, feels like a large cottage in the woods and features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms set on nearly an acre of private wooded land on a cul-de-sac. Perched like a treehouse above a truly babbling brook, you can relax on the front porch and listen to the gentle sound of the stream below. It offers the feel of a peaceful country retreat - just minutes away from downtown McLean, Tysons, Washington, D.C., and key commuter routes. A standout feature is the striking two-story sunroom addition - “The Treehouse Room” - custom-designed for this home by an award-winning architect (awarded for this project!). Its curved, floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views beneath a lush canopy of trees. The main level space is ideal for a den, library, reading nook, or meditation retreat. The living room, with gas fireplace, separate dining room and kitchen with pantry complete this level. The upper level primary bedroom offers a bump-out overhang, overlooking the space below and the private wooded view - perfect as an inspiring workspace, music-listening space, or quiet reading area. The property also includes an attached one-car garage and a workshop, providing dedicated finished space for hobbies, pottery studio and creative projects. An electrical heavy-up has already been completed to power workshop outlets and accommodate a kiln. A staircase from the house leads down to the meadow area along the stream, deemed a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. This serene meadow area is set up for cookouts, picnics, bird-watching and neighborhood gatherings, complete with a grill and picnic tables to accommodate any set-up throughout the seasons. Yorktown High School pyramid. Public water, public sewer.
