About This Home

As of June 2025

Great renovations: this home offers an updated, modernized colonial home with an adaptable floor plan, great backyard, legal 5th bedroom, and so many upgrades (enumerated below). The open concept main floor allows multiple options for dining room placement and even the option of a home office in the original dining room. The open concept main floor, spacious finished basement, deck, fire pit area, and landscaped back yard provides the perfect setting for large gatherings. The basement with its ensuite bed/bath is ideal for guests or college students. The large windows throughout the home bring in ample light. The efficiency upgrades throughout the home, including two separate HVAC zones and a $40,000 Tesla solar roof, keep the whole house comfortable year-round at minimal costs. The thoughtful upgrades throughout the home make it move-in ready! Notable upgrades: 2023 hardwood on stairs and upstairs hallway, LVP in basement, carpets in bedrooms, and split-rail fence in backyard; 2022 water heater; 2021 5th bedroom added in basement with proper egress window; 2020 Tesla solar roof, redesigned landscaping, home drainage, fire pit; 2019 complete main floor renovation (open floor plan, new hardwoods in living and dining rooms, removed textured ceiling and put in drywall and recessed lights; 2019 new 2 zone HVAC system. Fairfax Club Estates is a vibrant neighborhood with active pool and tennis clubs. Walking trails and the local reservoir provide an escape from suburban life. Yellow Rail Court is at the end of a non-pass-through street, allowing for recreation activities in the cul-de-sac. Several neighbors host cul-de-sac events throughout the year. Yellow Rail Court is tucked away from the noise of the main roads, but provides easy access to shopping in Burke Center and University Mall.
