About This Home
As of June 2025OFFER DEADLINE- TONIGHT- MAY 22 at 9PM. Welcome to 2238 Sanibel Drive — a beautifully updated home with a one car garage - nestled in the heart of Reston! Enjoy the ease of main-level living with 3 bedrooms, including the primary suite, plus a fully finished lower level that adds 2 spacious bedrooms (with egress windows) a large rec room, office, full bathroom, and laundry room with custom cabinetry and large storage closets. The house is situated on a .25 acre corner lot (one of the largest in the neighborhood).
This home is filled with thoughtful upgrades and modern touches: a 2023 new roof, 2019 HVAC with damper system, 2021 full kitchen renovation with custom cabinets, backsplash, marble countertops, and all new appliances. The main level was transformed into an open-concept living area featuring a stunning marble Ledgestone fireplace with a Heatilator design for added warmth and efficiency.
Outdoor enhancements include a screened porch (2008), vinyl siding and windows (2007), a 36" Fieldstone retaining wall (2016), front deck expansion and paver walkway (2018), and a fully fenced backyard with a portico paver patio (2020). Natural light fills the kitchen thanks to the bay window addition in 2010.
Located in the Reston Association—one of the most established planned communities in the U.S.—you’ll enjoy access to 15 pools, 54 tennis courts, 55 miles of paved trails, ballfields, playgrounds, picnic areas, sport courts, and more. Super close to Reston Town Center and the Reston Metro Station via nearby trails along with concerts, restaurants, and shops just minutes away. The neighborhood features its own playground and direct trail access to the local elementary school.
This is Reston living at its best—don’t miss your chance to call this one-of-a-kind home yours!
