About 3985 Fawnridge Ct
Welcome home. From the moment you turn onto our quiet cul de sac, with no through traffic and a front yard made for kids on bikes, you feel it, this is simply the best homesite in the whole community, stately and full of curb appeal. Step inside and the formal living and dining rooms greet you with a sense of occasion, the kind of rooms where holidays become memories, before the wood floors lead you back to the heart of it all: a kitchen that became the true gathering place of our family, with its huge island where three people can sit and talk while dinner comes together, the double wall ovens and glass cooktop for the cook who never wants to compromise, and windows over the sink that let us watch the kids play in the tree lined yard while we did dishes. A four foot extension across every level gives this home a sense of scale and smart, thoughtful layout you feel the moment you walk through it, and that kitchen opens right into a family room with two story ceilings and a wall of windows that fills the whole space with light, and on cool evenings we would light the gas fireplace under its stone surround floor to ceiling and just be together. Off the breakfast area, the slider leads to our deck, and from there down to a backyard that has genuinely felt like our own private retreat, lush and green, lined with trees, host to countless birthday parties, summer nights in the hot tub, and lazy afternoons watching the dogs run. The lower patio with its built in firepit and seating wall became our favorite spot for fall evenings with friends. Upstairs, our primary suite feels like an escape all its own, with cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, a walk in closet, and a spa like bath with a seamless glass shower and a soaking tub we used to unwind in after long days, while three more good sized bedrooms and a laundry room round out that level, with a catwalk that lets you look down into the family room below. We loved that the main level bedroom and full bath gave us a place for aging parents or guests to stay comfortably without stairs, and the finished walkout lower level, with its rec room, game area, and guest suite with its own full bath, gave everyone room to spread out and still come together. With over 4750 square feet across three levels, five bedrooms, four full baths, a two car garage, and thoughtful updates throughout including a newer roof, HVAC, water heater, and windows, this home has taken care of us the way we hope it will take care of whoever is lucky enough to call it theirs next. We raised our family here, and location made everyday life easy too, with convenient access to I-95, Route 1, and Route 234, quick reach to Quantico, public transportation options to Washington D.C., the Pentagon, and Fort Belvoir, and the VRE station, Potomac Mills, Wegmans, and great restaurants all nearby.
