OPEN SATURDAY 2-4pm! You'll love the warmth, character, and exceptionally large backyard that make this beautifully maintained all-brick Fairfax City home so special. Combining timeless appeal with thoughtful updates, this inviting residence offers hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and comfortable living spaces designed for everyday enjoyment. The renovated kitchen opens to a bright dining area highlighted by distinctive stained-glass windows and a vaulted ceiling with skylight. A sun-filled sitting area overlooks the backyard and provides direct access to the rear deck, creating an ideal setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or entertaining. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility with a spacious recreation room, a full bath, laundry area, and flexible space for guests, a home office, fitness area, or hobbies. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms feature hardwood flooring and peaceful views of the surrounding trees. Both full bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated while maintaining the home's warm, classic appeal. One of the property's standout features is the private, fenced backyard. Set on an approximately 8,000-square-foot lot, the level lawn, mature shade tree, established landscaping, storage shed, and deck provide exceptional outdoor living space that is increasingly difficult to find within Fairfax City. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system (2024), water heater (2024), electrical updates (2026), refrigerator (2023), microwave (2025), dryer (2026), updated fireplace components for safety and function, newer front and rear doors, gutter guards, and Trex front porch and rear deck, allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy. Ideally located near the shops, restaurants, parks, community events, and farmers market of historic Fairfax City, with convenient access to George Mason University, the Vienna Metro, and major commuter routes.
