About This Home
As of June 2023Welcome to this spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom house on a quiet, peaceful cul-de-sac with a big, beautiful cherry blossom tree in the front yard.

All rooms on the first floor have nearly floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the home with an abundance of light. The kitchen boasts a skylight, granite countertops, a sizeable double-door pantry, and an island that provides additional counter space, making cooking and entertaining a
breeze. Laundry machines are in the area off the kitchen.
OUTSIDE: Walk through double doors in the kitchen to get to the gorgeous, screened porch with rich mahogany floors. Large enough for a sofa, several chairs, and a dining table, it looks out on a quiet, wooded area providing a relaxing and serene atmosphere. Top-of-the-line Eze-breeze pocket sliding windows protect from pollen and allow for cozy and comfortable year-round use. A deck with room for a grill and seating extends from the porch into a low-maintenance, fully-fenced backyard.
UPSTAIRS: A large main bedroom has an en suite bath and an attached room featuring an attractive circular window, offering the perfect space for those who work from home or want a private reading or exercise space. There are three additional bedrooms and a full bath.
LOWER LEVEL: A huge, finished basement is perfect for entertaining guests and hosting family movie nights. The basement also provides ample storage space for all your belongings, a half bath, and French doors leading outside.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Springfield Franconia metro is a few miles, as is the VRE stop. The commuter lot on Gambrill is a few blocks from the home. Close to South Run Rec complex, bike paths, and Lake Mercer for hiking or walking. Springfield Town Center is nearby. Access to 395 and Express Lanes and a Costco is a short drive away. Middle Valley's active civic association hosts picnics and neighborhood block parties throughout the year.
This house also features a 2-car garage, ceiling fans, and new paint and carpet throughout, giving it a fresh and modern look. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to own this beautiful home in a fantastic location. The house sq ft is larger than what the tax record shows.
