11225 Robert Carter Rd

OPEN HOUSE SAT 1-3pm, SUN 1-4pm Welcome this charming home to the market.  0.58 acre lot and over 2,700 sq. ft of living space (the tax record is inaccurate due to a sunken 760 sq ft family room), spread over 3 spacious floors. With over $100k in beautiful updates, an open floor plan, generous room sizes, an idyllic lot in a fantastic community; this home won't last long!   A well manicured front yard with mature trees invite you to the walkway where you are greeted by a covered porch. Warm hardwood flooring ushers you inside and to the formal living room, where oversized windows illuminate the space. An adjoining formal dining room with access to the superb screened porch addition with custom lighting built in 2017, creates seamless opportunities for blending indoor/outdoor entertaining, while being almost maintenance free with trex decking, and overlooks the serene (and flat) backyard beyond, complete with a border of mature trees and play set. Back inside the gourmet kitchen with white cabinetry, granite countertops, marble backsplash and butler pantry provide plenty of space for any chef, and includes a delightful bay window offering an inviting and informal dining nook. A 2 car side load garage and coat closet complete the main level, while giving access to the cozy and spacious sunken family room just steps away. Hardwood floors sprawl throughout this level to include an awesome separate and versatile home office/den. A fabulous brick wall hosts the wood burning fireplace with glass doors and mantle that are flanked by charming built-in bookcases. On this level you will find a generous finished laundry room and updated half bath. The lower level consists of a huge utility/storage room. Hardwood flooring continues to the upper level where you will find 4 bedrooms with 2 beautifully renovated full bathrooms. Each room is generous in size and has great closet space to include some large walk-in closets, multiple windows and ceiling lights.  In 2020 the asphalt driveway was expanded to easily accommodate 3 cars side by side, while a new garage door and opener were installed in 2021. Gas was added to the house in 2013 when a new gas furnace and gas hot water heater were installed. The exterior fascia boards and soffits were wrapped making them maintenance free in 2017, when the main poly pipes were replaced proactively to copper. A new $20,000 roof and gutters were installed in 2019. If you're looking for a home that has been meticulously maintained, look no further. Neighborhood pool with membership available and tennis courts.  Easy access to 123, Fairfax County Parkway, Burke VRE and metro access.  Plenty of shopping, dining and entertainment options are located nearby.  Welcome Home!
