Shhhh! Don’t tell! This warm, family home has a magical children’s hideout found through a secret passageway in one of the five bedrooms (all on the same level). The top floor also offers a dedicated office space/den attached to the primary bedroom. The main bath as well as the other upper level bath have recently been updated and each have three sinks and ample storage. The main floor offers two separate family rooms for flexible gathering as well as a remodeled kitchen with granite counters, rich cabinetry, and clean, stainless steel appliances. A sun-filled bonus room with its own outside entrance and skylights is currently set up for movies with a projector, and could easily be remade as a studio or business place. A roll-in shower on the main level offers accessibility for wheelchair users and makes multi-generational living and aging in place possible. The basement completes the house with a game room and another full bath. It also includes the laundry room (washer and dryer convey to buyer), storage, and food-grade storage barrels with pre-treated clean water for emergencies. The fenced backyard and expansive patio are ready for entertaining by the fire pit, relaxing, or playing under the trees. Or enjoy the view from a private patio attached to the owner’s suite. New owners will appreciate the shed and spacious 2-car garage. This house is 10 miles to Quantico, 20 miles to Fort Belvoir, or a 30 mile no-transfer express bus ride from the neighborhood directly to the Pentagon or downtown DC. Nearby VRE stations add to the convenience. Upgrades include a new roof and siding (2019), HVAC and water heater (2023), smart stainless appliances (2022), refinished hardwoods, walnut LVP, and smart home features throughout. Set on a pipe-stem in the Montclair neighborhood, living in this house is like being surrounded by a fortress of friends. With its classic curb appeal, freshly upgraded systems, and multiple living zones, this home offers space, function, and style in equal measure. This one checks all the boxes! Schedule soon. It won’t last long! Some images may reflect virtual staging or digital editing, including removal of personal property, to help showcase the home.
