A stone's throw away from Burke Lake and nestled on over one acre of partially wooded lot sits The American Dream, white picket fence included. Originally constructed in 1980, this Colonial with a New England flair underwent a complete renovation and expansion in 2015. A new asphalt drive was just completed which leads to the two-car attached and two-car detached garages. The Hardie plank exterior is highlighted by a covered front porch and rear deck. Enter through the custom beveled glass door onto gleaming hardwood floors that span the entire main level. This open floorplan is perfect for those who enjoy entertaining. This expansive chef-inspired kitchen is the heart of this lovely home and will become the gathering place for family and friends. A two-story great room with knotty pine wood flooring and floor to ceiling brick fireplace invokes a modern cottage vibe. The owners’ ensuite is yet another highlight of this home. Complete with two walk-in closets, tray ceiling and breathtaking luxury bath, you’ll enjoy retreating to this bright and modern space. A princess suite/guest suite with private bath comes too. The ready-to-finish basement allows room for your imagination to run wild. Create the living space of your dreams, a man cave or an extraordinary game room. Conveniently located to Fairfax County Parkway, George Mason and Old Town Fairfax City, this property is ideally located for both privacy and convenience.
