You start most mornings the same way here, coffee in hand, stepping out onto the balcony off the primary suite before the day gets going. Downstairs, the main level is built for the parts of life that actually happen together, cooking while someone sets the table, kids doing homework at the island while dinner comes together, friends drifting between the kitchen and the family room without anyone having to raise their voice over a wall. The cathedral ceilings and the gas fireplace give the family room a warmth that pulls people in, and the dining room sits just a few steps above it, close enough to stay part of the conversation but set apart enough to feel like an occasion when you want it to. It is a layout that does not box you in, and once you have lived in a home like this, a chopped up floor plan feels like a compromise. In the evenings, the deck off the back becomes its own kind of gathering spot, with stairs leading down to a fenced patio and yard where the dog can run or the kids can play while you keep an eye on things from above. Upstairs, the primary suite is the kind of room that changes how you start and end your day, big enough to actually spread out in, with cathedral ceilings, its own balcony, closets that solve the problem before it starts, and a bathroom that feels more like a retreat than a chore, skylights overhead, a soaking tub, a walk in shower, tile that has some character to it. The second bedroom has its own bathroom too, so nobody is negotiating over who showers first. Head down to the lower level and you will find a full bedroom with its own bath and a walk out straight to the patio, the kind of space that works beautifully for a guest, a college kid home for the summer, or extended family who wants their own door to come and go through. Across all 2,100 square feet, every one of the three bedrooms has its own private bathroom, and small niche spaces tucked into odd corners on each level give the house a personality most floor plans do not bother with, along with a loft that makes a genuinely good home office. The house has been cared for the way you would hope, a new roof, new siding, a replaced main water line, a repainted interior, updated appliances, and small smart home touches that make daily life easier. Then there is the life outside the front door. The community's paved trail winds through Pinecrest and around the golf course, close enough that a walk after dinner is just a habit, not a plan. Tee times at Pinecrest Golf Course, weekend mornings at Green Spring Gardens, a quick trip to the shopping center for coffee or groceries or a workout, it is all folded into the everyday here rather than being something you have to drive to. And when you do need to get somewhere further, I-395, I-495, and Route 236 put Old Town Alexandria, Arlington, the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, Tysons, and DC well within reach, with Metrobus, Fairfax Connector, and the Van Dorn Street and King Street Metro stations nearby for anyone who would rather leave the car at home. This is a house that gives you a good life, not just a good floor plan. Full list of updates available.
