Description
Unique and one-of-a-kind custom-built home on Orchard Drive in Fairfax City blends a traditional, simple design with comfortable, cozy and practical elements. Built in 1994, the original owners put methodical thought into creating a home that has the timeless appeal of farmhouse simplicity and Victorian charm. A covered front porch provides a welcoming entrance for guests or a perfect place for a short respite from the activities of the day. Lighting and a ceiling fan provide the allure of sitting outdoors to share some peace with the natural setting. The sweeping front yard provides a landscaped palette with hardscape and manicured areas highlighted with a circular patio area perfect for a bench shaded by a tree standing sentry. Once inside the home, note the rich hardwoods on most of the main level, crown molding and chair rail architectural details, and chandelier and ceiling fan choices which add dimension and finesse to the farmhouse/Victorian feel. Enjoy gathering, dining, relaxing and socializing in the intimate setting of the main level of this home. The family room, breakfast room and kitchen evoke memories of spending time in a cabin or lodge. With two tall arched windows, a brick gas fireplace, and a bay window to bring in natural light and provide a treelined view, hours can be spent on this right side of the home forgetting that you are “in the city” minutes away from an abundance of amenities and activities. A separate dining room is centered to the front of the house with a large window overlooking the porch. Double doors close this room off from the kitchen. The living or sitting room offers a view of the side yard and a perfect setting for a smaller group of four to discuss a good book or play a card or board game. For a livelier foursome, step onto the rear sunporch/Florida Room that will soothe all troubles. It’s solid pine interior has a soft paint color and a tropical style ceiling fan. Casement style windows can easily be opened to provide a cool breeze during Spring and Fall seasons. Use the Intrepid Direct Vent Gas Stove to heat the room in the colder weather. From the sunporch, note the other special features of the yard. Anderson sliding glass doors open to a deck with rear steps to the backyard. At the rear, an amazing screened Gazebo has electric service perfect for children’s tea parties or adult wine sipping. Nestled by the gazebo is a Shed (also with electricity) that has a potting porch with bench for the gardener in the family. The shed has plenty of room to store tools on shelving while also creating a “She Shed” or “Man Cave” for alone time. After enjoying some time on the deck, gazebo, or shed, return to the interior of the home, where two other levels with wonderful features await. The upper level provides spacious bedrooms and a home office. New neutral carpet has just been installed. The front side of the home has a Primary Bedroom suite with a huge sitting room opening to the bedroom with 3 closets. The primary bathroom has a laundry closet with washer/dryer, a two sink vanity, jetted soaking tub and a separate room for the walk-in shower and toilet. Leaving the Primary Suite, a home office and two large bedrooms with a two-vanity hall bathroom complete the upper level. Wake up in the morning and view the clouds from the skylight at the top of the stairs. If it’s a rainy day and you just want to chill at home, head down to the lower level. The lower level boasts a rec room, a bonus room perfect for yoga/exercise equipment, an underground wine cellar, a bedroom with private bath and walk-in closet, and a small built-in service dry bar perfect for a mini microwave and coffee maker.Show Description
