8001 Pyracantha Ct, Springfield, VA 22153

This home is located in the Saratoga neighborhood, with 39 acres of wooded common area running through it. The property sits at the back of the subdivision on a large corner lot formed by the intersection of two cul-de-sacs with no through traffic. The property features a brand new composite deck and screened porch (completed on August 1st). This is perfect for outdoor living and is usable from spring through fall without fighting mosquitoes, and the open deck handles grilling and larger groups. Two mature oak trees help shade the yard throughout the day. If outdoor living is something you actually do rather than something you intend to do, this is the reason to look at this home. Hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas and primary bedroom. Remaining bedrooms have high-end carpet, and the lower level is finished in luxury vinyl plank; a practical surface for a rec room, home gym, or office setup. The kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A tankless gas water heater with internal circulator supplies the house, and new closet and pantry hardwood shelving has been installed throughout. Additionally, home has newly installed bedroom fans and bathroom exhaust fans with automatic humidity control. The property also includes a Google Nest thermostat, Kwikset smartlock, Leviton smart light switches, Ring doorbell and cameras, Samsung SmartThings Range and Refrigerator, and myQ smart garage door opener - all Wi-Fi enabled for control from nearly any mobile device. Room for plenty of storage in the garage attic.

NGA Campus East is directly across from the neighborhood. Fort Belvoir is roughly ten minutes. Franconia-Springfield Metro (Blue Line, plus VRE) is under five miles, and the Lorton VRE station is a comparable distance south. Fairfax County Parkway is the neighborhood's northern boundary, and I-95, I-395 and I-495 are all within a few minutes. The 40-mile Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail is accessible directly from Saratoga, running alongside Pohick Creek. Rolling Wood Park is adjacent to the neighborhood, with tennis and basketball courts, a playground, hiking trails, and grills and picnic tables.
