Brought to life by The Barrett Companies, this residence is the latest in a long line of legacy homes built by our family, right here in Northern Virginia. As a multi-generational real estate development firm, we’re not in the business of mass production—we’re in the business of creating exceptional homes. We build only a handful each year, which means our hands (and sometimes our muddy boots) are personally involved in every detail.

At Barrett, putting our name on a project isn’t just branding—it’s a family tradition. We still drive past the homes built by our fathers and grandfathers, and we take pride in ensuring that each new Barrett home lives up to that legacy. 1538 Forest Lane is no exception. From the carefully curated materials to the thoughtful floor plan and impeccable finishes, this is a home built to stand the test of time—for your family, and maybe even the next. Welcome home.

Thoughtfully designed with 10-foot ceilings and abundant natural light throughout, the home features a spacious main-level primary suite, ideal for modern living. A gourmet kitchen flows seamlessly into gracious entertaining spaces and out to the screened porch complete with a gas fireplace. Dedicated wine room, private gym, and walk-out basement offer elevated lifestyle amenities as well as 2 flex rooms to be used for sleeping or home entertainment.

Additional highlights include a 3-car garage with a finished loft above, perfect for a home office or additional recreation space, and a separate au pair suite for maximum flexibility. Dual washer and dryer sets provide convenience for busy households.
