SUNDAY OPEN HOUSE CANCELED: multiple offers in hand. Come visit our catered open house Saturday and Sunday from 12-2 PM! Pull into the quiet loop in Lake Whippoorwill and you’ll understand why this neighborhood is so sought after. Tucked just behind PB Smith Elementary, this home sits on a wide, open lot with a deep, park-like front yard framed by mature trees. There’s room to play, room to breathe, and a sense of space that’s getting harder to find. The stone exterior not only adds charm—it also offers natural insulation, keeping things cooler in summer and cozier in winter. Step inside and the layout opens up beautifully. A two-story foyer leads into the heart of the home: a vaulted family room filled with light and centered around a welcoming fireplace. The kitchen connects directly to the living area, making it a natural gathering space. It's wide, warm, and practical—with a new dishwasher installed in 2025, and freshly refinished hardwood floors and updated paint throughout giving the main level a clean, current feel. Just off the front hall, a main-level office features built-in bookshelves and offers the flexibility to work, create, or simply have a quiet space of your own. With four true bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, there’s room for everyone and every need. One of the full baths features heated tile flooring, creating a cozy start to your mornings or a spa-like end to your day. Downstairs, a fully finished lower level expands your options even more—whether you want a second living room, home gym, guest suite, or all of the above. There’s even a finished storage room and an additional utility space for extra flexibility. And for outdoor storage, enjoy a 10 by 17 foot shed in the backyard! Behind the scenes, this home has been thoughtfully updated. In recent years, the roof has been replaced, and a whole-house humidifier, dehumidifier, air scrubber, and water filtration system installed—all contributing to cleaner air, comfort, and peace of mind. There is a transfer switch in place for a generator should you wish to add one. A new furnace and humidifier were added in 2019, and outside, over $5,000 in landscaping has shaped the property into something both usable and beautiful. Deck railings and fencing have been updated as well, adding security and style without compromising the natural setting. Living in Lake Whippoorwill means more than having a great home. It’s a quiet, connected neighborhood wrapped in trees and green space, where a community pond stocked with bass, sunfish, and bluegill adds a bit of magic to everyday life. And because it’s on the DC side of Warrenton, commuting, shopping, and day-to-day errands are all easy to manage. This home isn’t just well cared for—it’s well loved. And if you’ve been waiting for the right one to come along, this could be the one that makes you stop searching.
