1358 Lake Forest Ct, Reston, VA 20194

There are very few places in Northern Virginia where you can wake up, walk down your lawn to a private dock, launch a kayak, cast a fishing line, or sit with coffee and watch the sun rise over the water. 1358 Lake Forest Court is one of them. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in North Reston, this 6,600-square-foot waterfront home sits on more than half an acre along the shoreline of Champion Lake, surrounded by mature trees, landscaping, and privacy that feels worlds away while still being minutes from Reston. The backyard gently slopes to the water, opening to lake views, a private dock, open lawn, mature trees, and a lifestyle rarely found in Northern Virginia. Whether it's paddle boarding on a summer morning, fishing from your dock, taking an evening canoe ride, or gathering with friends as the sun sets across the lake, life here is centered around the water. Inside, Andersen windows frame the surrounding landscape while soaring ceilings and architectural windows fill the home with natural light. The formal living room offers a peaceful place to gather and enjoy the views, while the spacious dining room accommodates large holiday gatherings and dinner parties. A butler's pantry connects the dining room and kitchen for seamless hosting. At the center of the home, the two-story family room features soaring ceilings, custom built-in bookcases, a wood-burning fireplace, and dramatic windows that bring the outdoors in. Open to the kitchen and breakfast area, it is equally suited for everyday living and special occasions. The kitchen was designed as a true gathering place, showcasing a custom butcher block island with generous seating. Quartz countertops, oak cabinetry, and a JennAir appliance suite, including two dishwashers, induction cooking, 2 ovens, built-in microwave, and French-door refrigerator, combine beauty and functionality. The main level offers a floor plan that is increasingly difficult to find, anchored by a spacious primary suite overlooking the property and lake beyond. The suite features a walk-in closet, private balcony, dual vanities, a makeup vanity, a soaking tub beneath an oversized arched window, and a separate shower. A second bedroom on the main level provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office. Two powder rooms and a main-level laundry room add convenience. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including a private en-suite and two bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. New carpeting has been installed throughout the upper level, closets, stairways, and main-level fifth bedroom. The walkout lower level was designed for recreation and entertaining, with a large gathering space, home theater with ceiling-mounted projector and pull-down screen, wet bar with hot and cold water, and space configured for future kitchen use. Outdoor living is every bit as impressive as the interior. An expansive wraparound deck offers areas for dining, lounging, and entertaining. The enclosed gazebo creates a three-season retreat, while the custom pergola, primary suite balcony, and landscaped grounds provide places to enjoy the natural surroundings. Recent improvements include a repaved driveway, lower-level HVAC replacement, refinished deck and gazebo, updated plumbing fixtures, kitchen plumbing upgrades, exterior trim repainting, and a CertainTeed cedar roof with a 75-year rating installed approximately three years ago. Champion Lake is professionally managed and stocked for fishing, and residents enjoy neighborhood gatherings and dock parties throughout the year. The HOA covers lake management, shoreline maintenance, common-area landscaping, and trash service. Even more rare, there are no Reston Association dues. Some homes offer space. Others offer views. A select few offer an entirely different way of living. 1358 Lake Forest Court is one of those rare places where home extends beyond the walls and into the water, the trees, and the moments you'll never want to leave.
