Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious Lowes Island community, this elegant brick-front colonial offers a rare combination of refined living, privacy, and a truly exceptional natural setting. Backing to peaceful wooded common area, this home provides a unique advantage seldom found—every bedroom enjoys serene views of the surrounding woods, creating a sense of retreat and privacy for the entire family. With over 3,500 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence blends timeless sophistication with everyday comfort. The interior is rich with upscale details, including extensive crown molding, custom trim work, curated lighting, and marble- appointed bathrooms that add a layer of quiet luxury throughout. Designed with both family living and entertaining in mind, the home offers inviting gathering spaces on every level. The spacious primary suite serves as a private sanctuary, featuring dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath. The fully finished lower level is ideal for hosting and relaxing alike, complete with a custom wet bar, built-ins, and a beautifully finished full bath—perfect for guests, recreation, or multi-generational living. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Step onto the expansive deck overlooking a beautifully regraded and newly sodded backyard (2025)—a lush, private setting ideal for children at play, weekend gatherings, or quiet evenings surrounded by nature. Recent improvements further enhance the home’s value and ease of ownership, including a new roof, oversized 6-inch gutters, and downspouts (2022), along with new windows, refrigerator, living room carpet, and stair runner (2024). Located just moments from Lowes Island’s premier amenities—swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, parks, shopping, dining, and top-rated schools—this home offers a lifestyle that is both convenient and enriching for families. A rare opportunity to own a home that seamlessly blends elegance, comfort, and privacy in one of Northern Virginia’s most sought-after communities.
