Life is Sweet in Springfield Forest!
Welcome to the Springfield Forest neighborhood, VA! This custom one-of-a-kind home on 0.631 acres, has been fully renovated on throughout and is completely move-in ready. As you enter through the main entrance, you are welcomed by a quaint living/dining room with large windows, a butler's pantry/wine room, and accented by a wood-burning fireplace. This floor has 2 bedrooms (one which could be used as an office) and a full bath along with the first of two utility rooms. The utility room contains the first of two separate hot water tanks - a Bosch tankless propane hot water heater, a Trane central air furnace (both installed Oct 06), and ample extra storage. As you make your way to the spacious gourmet kitchen, you'll see why this room is truly the heart of this home. The Viking Professional Series 60" gas range has 6 burners, a grill, a griddle, a side-by-side double oven, and a professional range hood that are ready for any meal you could possibly think up. A new microwave was installed in 2023. The Dacor Professional 42" side-by-side refrigerator is brand new (installed July 2023) and boasts a 24 cu foot capacity. 48" cherrywood cabinets surround the kitchen and allow for an abundance amount of dry storage. Sweeping windows (including a large bay window) allow for a panoramic view of the property. A secondary door allows access to the 2-car garage and the 8-car circle driveway, so guests will have a place to park, and bringing in the groceries will be a breeze. The solid maple hardwood kitchen floor has been sanded and refinished, as has the solid oak hardwood hallway and bedroom floors. The hallway leads you to a tiled laundry room, half/full bathrooms, and 3 additional bedrooms. The owner's suite has multiple closets, a fully updated/renovated bathroom w/standup shower, and french doors that give access to the back deck and back yard/pool. All of the bathrooms throughout the home have been renovated and/or updated. As you make your way to the basement, you'll find two additional rooms and a storage room that houses the sump pump w/battery backup (2020), a 50 gal Rheem tank – (3/23), and a Trane furnace (installed Oct 21), as well as an additional egress stairway to the outside deck. The deck has been completely renovated/resealed and new metal grates were installed over the window wells (6/23). A stunning in-ground saltwater pool is ready to cool you on your hot summer days and is just waiting for your next gathering. Multiple storage sheds (both fully wired and one insulated and would make for a great "flex space"/office/pool bar) are ready to hold your lawn/pool maintenance equipment or firewood storage for your firepit. If you have a green thumb or aspire to such, this home has a large garden ready for planting your favorite vegetables/herbs (on the rear right opposite side of the property) and is secured by fencing that will keep unwanted animals out. The soil is nutrient-rich and ready for your next personal crop. This home has a newer roof (2022) and is in a prime location as it is within a 10-minute walking distance to the Franconia Springfield Metro (Blue Line) / VRE, Springfield Town Center, and numerous stores and restaurants. Nearby Trader Joe's, Giant, Safeway, Aldi's, and Wegman's are a quick drive away and will satisfy all of your food-purchasing needs. Manchester Lakes and Kingstowne also offer more shopping and restaurant opportunities.
