3811 Winterset Dr

Enjoy springtime in the flowers, summer in the shade, and brilliant fall colors in your own lush private glen. Solid 1968 brick colonial with a 2-car sideload garage was built on one end of a merged double lot in the Winterset subdivision of half acre lots, located in Annandale, off Little River Turnpike just outside the Beltway. The other half of the 0.9 acre lot is a beautiful terraced glen with a walking path to a wonderful redwood shed with a loft and its own skylight. You enter the main level into a traditional center hall main level with libht-flooded living room right and dining room going on the the kitchen left. The corner kitchen opens to a the cozy family room with a woodburning fireplace. Just off the family room are a handly laundry/utility room and a wonderful breakfast area in the 3-sided sunroom overlooking the sweeping driveway and flowering glen. Owner, in-law, or guest can enjoy one-level living with the fifth bedroom and adjoining full bath on the main level. Hardwood steps take you at the rear of the foyer take you up to the sleeping level or down to the intriguing walkout basement and garage. The top two levels of this warm home are floored in beautiful original hardwood which has been covered in carpet and pad since the home was new. Only the foyer, kitchen, baths, laundry and basement have other flooring. Both upper and lower stairs are hardwood although the upper one is still carpeted. Ascend the stairs and relax in the spacious owner's suite on the upper level with its own very large dressing area/nursery, ample closets, and a private full bath. Three guest bedrooms and another full bath complete this level. Downstairs the daylight basement features very large walkout recreation room, two storage rooms with built-in shelving, and a 2-car sideload garage. The heirs of the original owner are selling this wonderful home "as is" since it does need some TLC to shine again. It is ready for the new owner's kitchen, bath, and finish updates. A handy owner could, however, live in the house now while updating it. The sellers would like to see the glen garden restored to its former glory to be enjoyed by the next owner. They do realize, but cannot guarantee, that an investor with a creative site plan may be able get county approval to divide off that part of the lot and build an additional house.
