It is located in a prime spot just north of the Town of Herndon in the sought-after Herndon Chase community, and it is well-situated on a 0.3-acre lot. This 5,400+ sq ft open-concept Colonial has three expansive finished levels that blend timeless design with modern comfort. You enter a sunlit grand two-story foyer featuring crown molding and shadow-box wainscotting. This large foyer flows gracefully into a spacious living room and dining room combination that includes stylish pillars and crown molding. The large dining room has two walls of expansive custom windows, featuring deep-set banquet-style window sills that are perfect as serving shelves for large-group entertaining. The home’s gourmet kitchen has ample 42’’ high cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a huge center island. The kitchen is flanked by a breakfast area with a sky-lit bump-out that leads to the private rear patio with views of terraced private flower gardens. Off of the breakfast area is the vaulted-ceiling family room with two large skylights, a gas fireplace, large Palladian windows, and an additional wall of windows overlooking the gardens; it is a wonderful room for relaxing, hosting, and unwinding. Separate office space (or den or flex room), a powder room, and a laundry room finish off the first floor. The laundry room opens to a large 2.5 car garage with loads of sturdy wood built-in shelving. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite includes a light filled and generously sized bedroom and huge private sitting room/office, two large walk-in closets, a large linen closet, and an updated spa-inspired bath with double sinks, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower complemented by tasteful windows looking out to the private back yard, and a large skylight. Three additional bedrooms, each with several windows, on the upper level offer generous living space and storage. The upstairs also includes another full bath with a dual vanity and a tub with a transom window, and a hall closet. The finished walk-out lower level with extensive recessed lighting, adds a recreation room, potential fifth bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and ample storage—ideal for guests or as an au-pair suite. Fresh paint, new carpet, hardwood and pet-friendly tile floors, recessed lighting, and custom plantation shutters enhance the home’s move-in readiness. The house features mature flowering trees and shrubs in the front that complement a welcoming porch perfect for relaxing in the morning or evening. In the rear of the home, a paved patio and sunny, terraced flower beds (a gardener’s delight and bird’s sanctuary) and a variety of perimeter trees provide both sight and sound privacy and a park-like setting also ideal for relaxing and entertaining. In addition to updated paint and carpeting (Oct 2025), major updates include: Driveway (2025) – Roof (2022) – Skylights (2022) - Upper HVAC ( 2022) – Lower HVAC ( 2018) - Side (dining room) bump-out and rear entrance bump-out (2015). Located near Reston Town Center, historic downtown Herndon, Dulles Airport, Metro Rail, and major commuter routes, this home offers the perfect blend of luxury, livability, and location. Herndon Chase has proximity to parks, trails, shops, and top schools. This is a must-see opportunity. We look forward to seeing you at the Open House on Sunday 11/2!
