Have you ever wanted to live in a treehouse? Or have your coffee on one of TWO private decks that overlook lush parkland and a creek, yet be minutes from the city? Well, this is it! This lovely updated colonial sits at the bottom of a quiet pipestem on a .61 acre lot-- the LARGEST lot in South Run Oaks! It's an easy walk to Burke Lake, South Run Rec Center, and Lake Mercer, and so close to commuter routes and schools! Updates, including windows and brand new hardwoods, fresh paint, and new carpet are all done so you can just relax and enjoy the scenery. The upscale kitchen, with quartz counters and stainless appliances, opens into a large and bright freshly painted family room. This space has vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows (remote-controlled blinds convey!), a pet door, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Outside, an oversized deck overlooks the bucolic fenced backyard and South County parkland beyond. French doors lead from the formal dining room to a 2nd deck with a scenic view of the creek, trails, and abundant wildlife--this is a bird watchers dream! Upstairs you will find 3 large bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The sizable master bedroom is freshly painted and carpeted and has vaulted ceiling, dressing area, and a soaking tub in the large remodeled master bath. Two additional bedrooms are large and bright, and are connected by a Jack & Jill bath. The walkout basement is fully finished and includes a rec room, office (or guest room), and full bath. The 2-car garage is oversized, the roof is only a year old, and there is a UV light whole house air purifier attached to the HVAC system. There's also an antenna installed in the attic for those who want to unbundle. South Run Oaks, in the South County High School district, is a friendly and vibrant community that sponsors events such as an annual Halloween Parade and community yard sale days, and boasts an active ladies group. A very short walk from this home you will find the tot-lot, basketball court, and entrance to the trails. For commuters it's just minutes to Fort Belvoir, the Fairfax County Parkway, I-95, and Commuter lots, VRE & Metro stations for a quick trip to the Pentagon or into the city. Also, so close to historic Occoquan, the Lorton Workhouse Arts Center, and George Mason University. Don't miss this one!
