| Notes: |
There’s more than meets the eye in this updated and expanded Ravensworth gem! This home offers you 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, wheelchair-accessible features and a yard that backs to Accotink parkland which you can enjoy from your private deck space. Since it was built in 1961, the home has had two major wing additions and a recent kitchen renovation that make it so spacious, comfortable, and welcoming! The main level has a living room and dining room that lead you into the striking family room with its rich wood trim and vaulted skylit ceiling, cozy wood stove and panoramic parkland views. The remodeled (2019) kitchen was expanded into a former bedroom to add a breakfast area, a large pantry, and a “coffee bar†under the windows. The primary bedroom with en-suite bathroom, the wheelchair accessible 2nd bedroom and bathroom, plus a 3rd bedroom and 3rd bathroom give you multiple options for main-level living. Wheelchair accessible features include a front ramp with a side door entry into the front foyer allowing for separate main door entry also accessing the front portico entry, a wheelchair-accessible bedroom with an elevator, an adjacent wheelchair-accessible bathroom with separate jetted tub/shower and walk in accessible shower, wide halls and pocket doors in the kitchen and accessible bathroom. The lower level, accessed by stairs or elevator, has a large rec room with built-ins, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom with shower and oversized jetted tub, a laundry room, a large workshop with walkout stairs to the back yard, and a storage/utility room. This 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom wheelchair-accessible home has approximately 4000 SF of living space and sports a private deck nestled between the two additions which offers an expansive view of the backyard and parkland beyond.<br />

But that’s not all! This lovely home backs to parkland and just beyond the backyard playset, hop onto the Gerry Connolly Cross-County Trail and you can access Lake Accotink Park (which includes the lake, marina, a carousel, putt-putt, pavilions, a new playground, and a summer concert-in-the-park series), or take the trail under Braddock Road to Wakefield Park (with an indoor Rec Center and pool, tennis courts, a farmers’ market on Wednesday evenings, and more). The Gerry Connolly Trail connects to many miles of additional trails across the county. Commuters will appreciate the close access to Braddock Rd, the I-495 Capital Beltway and HOV entrances, and proximity to I-66, I-395 and I-95. This home is ½ mi to metrobus stops, with buses every 5 minutes during rush hours. The quiet, well-forested Ravensworth community (no HOA) is served by Fairfax County Public School’s Ravensworth Elementary and Lake Braddock Secondary Schools, and George Mason University and Northern Virginia Community College are only a few minutes away. The shopping center ¾ of a mile away offers groceries and a bakery, restaurants, a pharmacy, a dry cleaner and more. Nearby Tysons Corner and the Mosaic District abound in shopping, dining and entertainment options. |
