5927 Oakland Park Dr

Elegant Burke Centre colonial beautifully set in a private drive of only four houses, classic yet wonderfully updated with a fresh, contemporary look! Meander through the living and dining areas on hardwood flooring to the newly updated kitchen with newly installed stainless steel appliances including a brand new beverage fridge nestled in crisp white cabinetry and brand new quartz countertops, with stylish lighting accents throughout. A separate breakfast nook presents a view of landscaping outside bursting in springtime colors. Walking into the family room feels like a warm embrace with a focal point gas-burning fireplace in a newly updated, contemporary color palette. This grand space with 10’ high ceilings is a perfect place for family and friends to gather or to enjoy cozy corners to tuck into with a book or a game of chess. For more entertaining and dining space, there is the spacious screened in porch with an adjoining deck and brick-pavered patio area and pathway from which to enjoy the beautifully landscaped and fenced in backyard (that abuts a buffered, protected wooded area giving added privacy) and further includes a brick-pavered fire pit and picnic table area. A half bath and laundry room complete this level. Head on to the 4 comfortably-sized bedrooms on the upper level which includes a primary bedroom with a separate wood-burning fireplace and gorgeously updated ensuite primary bath with a walk-in shower and another full hallway bath. A secondary bedroom has direct access to this hallway bath. The lower level will very much impress with so much more recreational space, updated with brand new luxury vinyl tiled flooring and a fresh new coat of paint. It is fully built-out with a large playroom or entertainment/media room with floor to ceiling built-in bookcases at one end adjacent to a separate den or potential fifth bedroom with direct access to a recently updated full bathroom. That bathroom also serves as a guest bathroom that is separately accessible through a short hall at the opposite end of the large entertainment room. That short hallway also leads to a surprise bonus room that can be used for small group entertaining or meetings, a quiet out-of-the-way office or an exercise room. This level has direct access to the oversized 2 car garage (with enough space for a workbench and additional storage) that makes for a special feature of this home. Other ample storage options include shelving in all closets plus an additional walk-in closet, other closets and under the stairs storage areas on the lower level, and plywood-lined attic storage with pulldown ladder access. Enjoy the many amenities of Burke Center, which include walking trails through nature and around a lake, playgrounds, swimming pools, tennis courts, community centers, places of worship, and two shopping centers. Located so very close to the Fairfax County Parkway, the Burke Centre VRE, a METRO Bus Stop, and other major traffic arteries makes one's commute and shopping so wonderfully convenient. Having the nearby Burke Lake Park (with a golf course, miniature golf course, walking trails, and miniature railroad), Burke Centre Library, and George Mason University (with a sports and major entertainment/concert venue) are great amenities as well. Families will appreciate that it is located in the highly regarded Robinson HS Pyramid. This home is exactly what the word evokes ... a place to create memories for years and years to come! Come see it for yourself and make it yours!
