Rare and beautifully maintained brick and HardiePlank townhome backing to protected woodlands that will never be developed. Tucked away in a quiet community, this exceptional home offers the perfect blend of privacy, elegance, and convenience. The main level features hardwood floors, high ceilings, extensive crown molding, wainscoting, recessed lighting, and a spacious eat-in, gourmet kitchen with abundant counter and cabinet space. This kitchen also offers seamless access to a private deck overlooking the wooded preserve in back. A separate dining room is ideal for holidays and entertaining, while the light-filled family room provides generous space for gathering, relaxing, and displaying art. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a large walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanity. The secondary bedrooms boast vaulted ceilings, ample closet space, and a shared dual-vanity bath. The walkout lower level offers upgraded LVP flooring, a gas fireplace, full bath, storage space, and access to a covered patio and two-car garage with a freshly painted floor and additional storage. This whole lower level can act as a private guest suite including everything but the kitchen sink :). Enjoy plentiful guest parking and an unbeatable location just two miles from Reston Town Center / Reston Metro, close to all the quaintness of the Town of Herndon, the W&OD Trail, the Fortnightly Library, farmers markets, Herndon Live!, dining, shopping, and major commuter routes-with many local amenities within walking distance. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy nature, convenience, and refined living all in one place.
