Discover an incredible opportunity in Fairfax, VA, perfect for a buyer with a vision to transform this cherished homestead. Set on over 5 secluded acres, this property offers a tranquil escape with abundant trees, wildlife, and a serene stream. Privacy awaits at the end of a cul-de-sac, you'll feel transported to a peaceful oasis far removed from the bustle of Northern Virginia. The long driveway leads you across the stream to the home, beautifully positioned to embrace the surrounding nature. Despite its seclusion, the property is conveniently bordered by established neighborhoods, does not have an HOA and is in the desired Woodson HS Pyramid, less than a mile from George Mason University and Historic Fairfax City. The original custom-built home, though in need of work, boasts 7 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across three above-grade levels. The first floor exudes historic charm with versatile living spaces. Upon entering through double doors, you are greeted by a staircase view extending to a formal dining area with French doors opening to the outdoor sanctuary. To the left, the living room features a wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelves framing a window with a private backyard view. This level also includes a kitchen and breakfast area, family retreat, sitting room, laundry room and a powder room. The mid-level offers five spacious bedrooms with original hardwood floors, two bathrooms, and a gathering room with a slider to a deck that descends to back yard. The primary bedroom has ample closet space and direct access to a bathroom. The charming third level features hardwood floors, sloped ceilings in two bedrooms, an attic fan for natural cooling, and an adjacent bonus room area. With some imagination the kitchen could be expanded to the breakfast room and two adjacent living areas while the upper level would be a spacious retreat with the addition of a bathroom. While many rooms offer picturesque nature views, the property itself is a delight to explore with its trails, stream, and fire-pit area. This is a rare chance to breathe new life into a beloved homestead and create a unique, personal retreat. The property has a partial RMA overlay which may affect the availability to build.
