Carefully maintained one level Goodman contemporary has three additions and is filled with light. Enter through double doors into an expanded foyer with brick floors, skylights and a spacious walk-in closet. The open living room includes generous built-in shelving and storage cabinets and features a wood burning fireplace, exposed wooden beams and walls of windows with access to distinctive curved decks. A separate dining room addition has an oversized skylight and more walls of windows and leads to a 200SF screened in porch. The kitchen retains the original footprint. The primary bedroom suite includes an exposed brick wall, portal openings, and a dressing room area with half bath—plumbed and ready for a tub or shower. There are two additional bedrooms and a nicely renovated full bath. A second full bath includes a stall shower and stackable washer and dryer. Down the hall, a third addition creates a versatile 20x12 bonus room with soaring ceilings, skylight and separate HVAC.

Outside, the .41 acre lot has established multi-season plantings, custom tiered decks and a spacious storage shed. This special home is steps away from the neighborhood pool, shopping, dining and commuter routes and is ideally located on the corner of Marthas and Marthas.

The historic community of Hollin Hills is comprised of approximately 450 mid-century modern homes designed and built by architect Charles Goodman and developer Robert Davenport. The homes are characterized by their large private wooded lots, sleek lines, and blending of interior and exterior vistas with their distinctive walls of windows. This close-knit community offers something for everyone: from a book club to babysitting cooperatives. Annual events such as the Fall potluck, the 4th of July picnic, Holiday caroling, and the bi-annual Hollin Hills House and Garden Tour bring together young and old alike and help to make this such a special place to live. The neighborhood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 2013. This provides formal recognition of the historic architecture and community planning of Goodman and Davenport and identifies nearly 475 contributing historic structures, including this house.

Hollin Hills is a neighborhood with covenants that govern your property and is also a Fairfax County Overlay District. Any exterior modifications of your home will require approval from the Design Review Committee and the Fairfax County Architectural Review Board. For more information and copies of the covenants and DRC Guidelines, check out the Hollin Hills website.
