Built in 1960, this home was a time capsule of a bygone era. Full of life and color, it has now been cleared out so that the next owners can make it their own. * Priced below recent appraisal and tax assessment. * The home anchors a cul-de-sac in the forest, with a brick walkway bisecting the irrigated yard and gardens and leading to the covered front porch. While azalea season may be over, the May flowers are just beginning to pop. * Sitting at the top of a hill, the 1.75-acre property falls away into a forested valley behind the home. Follow the old tractor path that is on the right side of the shed down to the creek (it is a steep path, please be very careful and do not go on it if it is wet as the path may be slippery), cross the bridge at the bottom of the hill, and enjoy the meadow on the other side. It is the perfect setting for relaxing weekends spent playing, picnicking, gardening, reading, camping overnight, or simply “forest bathing”. The land beyond is part of Fairfax County Park Authority’s Hidden Oaks Nature Center and Annandale Community Park, ensuring remarkable privacy. * The large rear patio, once home to a hot tub beneath the awning, still has power in place for future use (yet another interpretation of forest bathing!). * With 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and nearly 2,800 finished square feet across two levels, the home offers large, comfortable rooms throughout, including an expansive eat-in kitchen, oversized combined living and dining spaces, and a main-level primary suite. The lower level, with exterior access, provides flexibility for guests, returning family members, an au pair arrangement, or potential ADU-style living. * Additional features include an attached, oversized, enclosed two-car carport, a recently paved driveway and a large 12x12 shed. * Inside the Beltway, close to Hummer Rd. and Little River Turnpike and moments from the heart of Annandale, this solid brick home lives like a rural retreat. * Not 100% sure but believe that there may be original hardwood floors under the carpet in the rooms that have full carpeting in place. * Ages of conveyances to the best of our knowledge: Roof (2019), A/C airhandler (2019), A/C condenser unit (2009), Water Heater (2020), Boiler, 1999 (maintained annually), Oil tank (a few years ago - it is owned), double wall oven (2025), Dryer (2026).
