Imagine coming home to your own peaceful farmhouse retreat in Clifton, Virginia, surrounded by gorgeous crepe myrtles and a wrap around porch to enjoy your morning coffee or relaxed evenings. Sitting on a peaceful wooded 0.53 acres, this farmhouse has character and space. This quaint cottage has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and features a country kitchen with wood cabinets, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, hardwood floors, and a cozy fireplace centered in a spacious great room. New dishwasher (2026) and water heater (2026), new cooktop (2025). The bones and layout are all here, ready for a new owner to refresh and make their own. The real bonus is the separate 906 sq ft private guest cottage (ADU) out back. It’s a one-bedroom, one-bath space with washer/dryer that’s perfect for guests, a home office, or as a rental. The cottage typically rents for $1,850 per month and offers a comfortable, functional space, while the main house presents the opportunity to update and personalize to your taste. Combined with the front cottage, there is over 2,600 sq ft of living space and endless potential. It's the perfect place to turn into your own country retreat with loads of nearby amenities like shopping, fitness center and spa, restaurants, and an equestrian center. You get that quiet country feel, but you’re only three miles from historic Clifton and close to major commuter routes and Dulles Airport. It’s the best of both worlds: country peace with city access. Homes like this with land, a livable ADU (think future rental income!), and a prime location don’t come around often. Sold as-is, this is your chance to build lasting equity and put your own stamp on a property with genuine character, one idea at a time!
