Newly polished home in North Springfield, with a large lot backing to wooded area with stream. Less than 3 miles to I-495, Long Pine is an excellent commuter location for work in Alexandria, Arlington, or DC. Tysons Corner shopping center is 20 minutes up I-495. The property is less than a mile to the Springfield Swim Club. Walk through the front door and up the stairs to the open upper level. The kitchen, with clean white cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances is separated from the dining and living rooms by an island, providing extra counter space and storage options. The dining area, with its large picture window facing the backyard, and easy access to the attached carport, gives the whole family a space to gather for meals. The living room, complete with a bay window to the front of the home, creates a cozy atmosphere for cold winter evenings settled around the wood-burning fireplace. Down the hall are three bedrooms, all with hardwood floors. The hall bathroom has a tub shower. The master is the last on the right, with a ceiling fan and an upgraded ensuite bathroom with a stall shower. All windows and doors (with the exception of the back French doors) were replaced in the last four years. The lower level includes a spacious, newly carpeted second family room, also with a wood-burning fireplace. Across from the built-ins is a wet bar and access to the back flagstone patio, making the downstairs space great for entertaining, both inside and outside. A fourth bedroom is downstairs, with a renovated full bathroom in the same hall - creating a separate and peaceful suite area for overnight guests. The utility room, which houses the washer, dryer, and shelving units, serves as a space for extra storage. The yard is sprawling, both in the front and the back. The flagstone patio out back, bordered by stone flower beds on the right, sits at the top of the slightly sloping grassy hill. The yard leads into the wooded common area, complete with a stream - a lovely natural atmosphere for relaxing. Brand new shed provides extra outdoor storage.
