Open House Thursday (9/9) 5:30-7:30PM, Saturday (9/11) 2:00-4:00PM and Sunday (9/12) 1:00-3:00PM. I really had to pause before writing this description, because the words, lovingly maintained, dont even begin to capture the level of care and devotion that the seller has put into this charming brick colonial home. This is easily the most cared for and maintained property that I have had the privilege of selling. A true 10.

Only once before did my home stager tell me theres really nothing to do besides take pictures, and then followed up that advice by inquiring on the homes price and contemplating a move. This is the second time. Yes, this home is that special and yes, youll fall in love too once you step inside. But please, let your clients pay a visit.

Featuring an open eat in kitchen with gleaming KraftMaid white cabinets, GE Profile appliances and Corian counters and sink, the spacious peninsula spills out into the open family room allowing for an adjacent kitchen table. The timeless, formal dining room gives you a third option for your meals. The main level family room, with a cathedral ceiling, opens onto the laminate and wood deck atop the fully fenced, private yard and includes a charming garden shed with firewood storage on the side. On the side of the house, a spacious private screened porch gives wonderful three season living space, to enjoy evening breezes and morning coffee. Without bugs.

Three generous bedrooms on the main and upper levelswith an en suite bathroom on main level. Theres a fourth potential bedroom on the lower level, currently set up as a den but could be a legal bedroom with egress window added. On both main and upper levels--original red oak floors with a resplendent patina that takes 70-plus years (and no pets) to achieve. Three full bathrooms, all fresh and brightone found on each level. Theres a wonderfully finished walk-out basement with more living space and plenty of layout options to suit your needs. Oh, and the oversized water heater (75 gallon) was just replaced last year!

Outside--brand new privacy fence in the back yard--and front, rear and sides replete with a well-maintained lawn and manicured mature beds, shrubs and trees. The entire exterior trim and wrought-iron handrails were recently repainted, as they were every 5 years along with the homes interior. The home includes ample off-street parking.

Located in the Berkshire neighborhood which includes the highly desirable Nottingham, Williamsburg, Yorktown school pyramid, N. Quantico is a quiet side street with mature trees and a great community feel. Metro (East Falls Church) is a quick, six-block walk. A most convenient location for walking, biking, car or public transport, with shopping, restaurants and more just four blocks. Safeway, Harris Teeter and CVS less than a mile. Parks, ballfields and bike trails within short walking distance. Interstate 66 is less than a mile away, so you can hop in your car and get to the Kennedy Center in DC to watch a play or concert in less than 15 minutes. International Airports are equally close with Reagan National (17 minutes) and Dulles (27 minutes) in the opposite direction.
