10701 Howerton Avenue Fairfax, VA 22030
True seamless blend of Old World Charm and Modern Convenience! This 5 level, all-brick, hilltop home, is nestled in a canopy of magnificent, and majestic, old Oak and Tulip Poplar trees that populate this half acre plus lot. The trees and the landscaping create a homesite that is unsurpassed in serenity and privacy, yet located so close to everything. The stress of the day is left behind when you pull into the driveway and drive up to this house. Once inside, the interior upgrades include: Granite counters. Stainless Steel Appliances. Custom wood kitchen cabinets. Dura Ceramic kitchen floor. BEAUTIFUL, original, re-finished hardwoods in all 4 upper bedrooms, in the upper hall ways, and on all three sets of stairs. New neutral carpet has been installed in the family room, dining room, living room, and 5th bedroom/den/office or yoga room on lower level. Huge laundry room on lower level has new vinyl. The entrance foyer has a rich grey slate floor. Fresh paint throughout the whole house. Three of the upper bedrooms come complete with walk-in closets, and they all have 6 panel wood doors. The master bath has a separate shower. There are built-in shelves in the living room. The family room has a wood-burning fireplace with a large hearth, and is perfect for big gatherings; and it overlooks the generous-sized flagstone patio out back, and onto the wooded and landscaped back yard. Next to the family room is the large laundry room with extra storage shelves and an extra refrigerator. Off the laundry room is the 5th bedroom or office that is completely separate from the rest of the bedrooms and offers a very private space. Continuing upstairs, there is a separate dining room. Off the kitchen is a Screened-in, covered porch that you enter from the kitchen and continues the whole length of the kitchen and dining room to the end of the house. The porch allows for large groups to dine as they watch and listen to the wildlife in the back yard, undisturbed by any neighbors. Within the past 6 months a new CAC forced air system was added. The heating system has zoned electric heating for each room, as well as the heat pump backup that was just installed. All windows have storm windows in immaculate condition as well as screens. The driveway has been expanded to accommodate extra cars, and there is room at the side of the home to add a driveway in the future, or add one behind the house. The front walk way is comprised of custom brickwork, and low-voltage lighting. Also, the neighborhood park is less than 200 yards down the street. This home exudes charm and serenity due to the upgrades, coupled with the whole wooded/landscaped setting. The sun peeks through the trees and sneaks into the house at different times of the day. For the first time in over 50+ years, it is finally available on the market again. It is truly a rare blend of charm, character, privacy and beauty, all located in sought-after Cobbdale in Fairfax City. What a great place for someone to call home. Better hurry, though, since homes like this don't become available very often, and they certainly don't stay on the market long!
