About This Home

Back on the market due to no fault of the Sellers! Since the previous contract, the Sellers have proactively completed professional HVAC servicing and repaired the previously identified HVAC duct connection. The system has been inspected and serviced by a licensed HVAC contractor, who confirmed the system is operating properly with a 20 degree temperature differential, well within normal operating standards. This exceptional home has been meticulously maintained and is ready for its next owner! Tucked among mature hardwoods on a picturesque 1.18-acre corner homesite in the highly sought-after community of Foxhall West, 176 Burning Tree Road offers a rare opportunity to own an exceptional executive residence where timeless architecture, remarkable privacy, and everyday luxury come together in perfect harmony. Offering nearly 3,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space, this meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been thoughtfully enhanced with quality improvements, including a professionally constructed Trex deck and the added peace of mind of a whole-house generator. From the moment you arrive, the stately brick facade, professionally landscaped grounds, mature trees, and inviting front porch create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, a welcoming foyer opens to spacious formal living and dining rooms designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. The architectural centerpiece of the home is the breathtaking two-story family room featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, an oversized skylight that fills the space with natural light, an open loft overlooking the room below, custom built-in bookcases, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling brick wood-burning fireplace that creates the perfect gathering place throughout the seasons. Walls of windows frame the peaceful wooded backdrop, seamlessly blending indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors. The beautifully updated kitchen features elegant quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a pantry, recessed lighting, generous prep space, and a bright breakfast area overlooking the private backyard, creating the perfect space for everyday living and entertaining alike. French doors lead to a professionally constructed Trex deck overlooking beautifully landscaped grounds, an expansive paved patio, winding garden paths, and mature trees, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying nature. The spacious primary suite offers a true private retreat with dual walk-in closets and a luxurious ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and separate shower. Three additional generously sized bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for family, guests, home offices, or hobby space. Thoughtfully enhanced and meticulously maintained, the home also features updated flooring, refreshed interior paint, upper-level laundry, a floored attic with pull-down stairs, irrigation system, smart thermostat, oversized two-car attached garage, public water and sewer, natural gas heat, and a professionally built Trex deck completed in 2021. Whether you're hosting holiday gatherings around the fireplace, enjoying quiet mornings beneath the skylights, entertaining on the expansive Trex deck, or simply taking in the peaceful wooded surroundings, this home offers a lifestyle that is as inviting as it is beautiful. Homes of this caliber, offering timeless architectural character, nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, a spectacular wooded homesite, dramatic interior living spaces, and an unmatched combination of privacy and convenience, rarely become available. 176 Burning Tree Road is more than simply a beautiful home; it is a place where elegance, comfort, and nature come together to create an extraordinary lifestyle. Welcome home.
