About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to The Forest at Southrun, a sought-after community in Springfield, known for its charming homes and unbeatable location. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac backing to trees, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers over 3,600 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space.

Step into a grand two-story foyer with cathedral ceilings and a beautiful split staircase with new railings. Hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, where you'll find a formal dining room, living room, and a cozy family room with a gas fireplace. The open-concept kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast area, and walkout access to a large rear deck—perfect for entertaining.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite boasts vaulted ceilings, a luxurious en-suite bath with a deep soaking tub, dual vanities, and a separate shower. Three additional large bedrooms complete the upper level.

The recently upgraded lower level features LVP flooring, a generous recreation room, a fifth bedroom, a full bath, and an updated utility room. With 9’ ceilings and walk-up access to the fenced backyard, this level is a fantastic bonus space.

This home has been meticulously maintained and updated to include:
brand new blinds (2024), new HVAC system (2022), new water heater (2022), SMART laundry machines (2023), SMART garage door opener (2022), new roof (2019), finished basement with new circuit breaker box (2021), radon mitigation system (2018), and refinished main level floors & stairs.

The HOA includes access to two tot-lot playgrounds, basketball courts, twice-a-week trash service, weekly recycling, and seasonal leaf removal.

Conveniently located with easy access to I-395, I-495, I-95, DC, VRE, Fairfax County Parkway, and Fort Belvoir. Commuters will love the short drive to the Gambrill Road Park & Ride Lot for Metro access to DC and the Pentagon.
