Brand New Listing - Open Sunday 1-4! Stunning 4-Bed, 3-Bath Home on 1 Acre — No HOA! This is a special one. Set on a private one-acre lot with a fully fenced backyard and no HOA, this beautifully reimagined raised bungalow has been thoughtfully modernized from top to bottom. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 3,468 total square feet across two levels, its inviting interiors and expansive outdoor space offer privacy, serenity, and room to breathe. A welcoming foyer leads into an elegant living room, where a double-sided fireplace shares its warmth with an extraordinary sunroom. With views into the surrounding trees, this inviting space feels like a forest retreat—a place to linger over morning coffee or settle in at the end of the day. The high-end kitchen renovation, completed in August 2024, brings fresh style and thoughtful conveniences to the heart of the home. Updated appliances, including a double oven and wine refrigerator, make everyday meals and entertaining a pleasure, while a built-in reverse osmosis system adds filtered drinking water right at hand. Professionally refinished original wood floors preserve the home’s warmth and character, and there is no carpeting anywhere in the house. Two bedrooms occupy the main level, including a primary suite with an expansive walk-in closet and its own washer and dryer. A separate full bathroom serves the second bedroom. Both upstairs bathrooms were completely remodeled in 2023. The lower level has its own entrance and offers another 1,734 square feet, with two additional bedrooms featuring newer wood-look vinyl flooring, a full bathroom, and a second laundry setup. A classic wood-burning fireplace makes the living space especially inviting, while an unfinished area provides potential for an additional bedroom. Outside, the extraordinary setting is a highlight of its own: a broad, flat one-acre lot with an expansive, fully fenced backyard and room to truly spread out. Imagine a flourishing garden, a hammock beneath the trees, or your own peaceful spot to spend the day outside. A large shed with an upper loft and riding-mower ramp keeps outdoor essentials neatly tucked away. All this breathing room comes with the convenience of Costco and Wegmans just a few miles away. Thoughtful improvements extend beyond the finishes, including a Carrier HVAC system with Wi-Fi controls, added attic insulation, whole-house water filtration with UV disinfection, and a tankless electric water heater—all installed in 2023. Additional updates include an ADT security system, chimney improvements, and a sump pump with battery backup installed in September 2025. From its elegant gathering spaces to its remarkable sunroom and expansive grounds, this home offers room to settle in and spread out.

A rare opportunity to create something truly special in the heart of Fairfax. Set on nearly 1.9 private acres with NO HOA, this stately home offers an exceptional combination of space, privacy, character and potential. Offering approximately 2,850 finished square feet above grade, the home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, generous living spaces, including a highly desirable MAIN-LEVEL PRIMARY SUITE with an oversized private en-suite bath and its own private deck overlooking the property. An approximately 1,850-square-foot unfinished full walkout basement offers tremendous potential for additional living space bringing the home to approximately 4,700 SQUARE FEET OF TOTAL FINISHED SPACE. The basement also includes a rough-in for an additional full bathroom, making a future lower-level transformation even easier to envision. An expansive wraparound-style covered porch extends across much of the home, creating incredible outdoor living space and giving the property timeless character, all surrounded by mature trees and a beautiful open yard. The possibilities continue above the garage, where additional space with its own existing HVAC system and a second roughed-in full bathroom (for a total of 4.5 bathrooms) offers exciting potential for a future home office, studio, hobby space, guest retreat or other use. Adding even more value, several of the home’s major systems have already been updated, with the ROOF, HVAC and WATER HEATER all replaced within approximately the last five years, allowing the next owner to focus their vision on making the home’s finishes and spaces their own. Outside, the setting is increasingly difficult to find in Fairfax. Nearly 1.9 acres provide the best of both worlds - an expansive open yard with plenty of usable space complemented by a wooded backdrop offering privacy and a peaceful sense of separation. Enjoy the property from the extensive covered porch that wraps around almost the entire house, retreat to the primary suite’s private deck, and imagine creating your own outdoor oasis. All with NO HOA. Offered AS-IS, this is an opportunity to renovate, reimagine and unlock the tremendous potential already built into the property. With substantial existing living space, a main-level primary suite, an expansive walkout lower level, two additional full-bath rough-ins already included in the Fairfax County tax records, additional space above the garage, newer major systems, nearly two private acres and exceptional outdoor living areas, 4738 Holly Avenue has the space, setting and versatility to become something truly extraordinary. Schedule your showing ASAP and make this rare gem yours today!

Better than new construction, this 7-year-young custom beauty has what many new construction homes do not: a level, lush acre of land with mature landscaping and thick, leafy green grass and a mostly finished basement with a bit of customizable area, perfect for an exercise room and/or a media room (currently part of the unfinished area houses a greenhouse!). It appraised for $1,750,000 in 2022 and since then the numerous upgrades throughout the home simply add to its specialness. As a new house, it was built with top-notch design elements and materials, and in the past two years, more thoughtful work has been done. About $150,000 in upgrades which include designer lighting fixtures (the Murano glass chandelier over the kitchen table is stunning) and ceiling fans, refinished wood floors, a new paver front walk and repaved driveway, a top-of-the-line security system, the latest and greatest garage door openers, an EV charger, LED lightbulbs throughout and, last but not least, solar panels. Take the stunning custom craftsmanship of this beautiful home, add all of these recent upgrades from the past two years, and you have the perfect new home awaiting you. And unlike so much of the new construction in northern Virginia, this home has so much yard! You have a full front yard and an outfield of a backyard, a full acre of land and perfect outdoor spaces - an expansive front porch and a huge back deck - from which to enjoy the bucolic views. Inside the house, the outside streams in - sunny and bright throughout the day. The main floor is so welcoming, with spaces open and flowing, but with boundaries that create coziness. And the main floor Primary Suite and laundry room make this the perfect home in which to not do stairs if you don’t want to! But you won’t want to miss the three large ensuite bedrooms/bathrooms on the second floor (and the second laundry room), nor the Rec Room, wet bar with beverage fridge, entertainment zone, the fifth bedroom and fifth full bath that you will find in the basement. Full of design, details, finishes, upgrades, and room for life to unfold, this house is the perfect home. The perfect home in the perfect place in the acclaimed Woodson school pyramid. It is so close to everything (4 minutes drive via back roads to Wegmans!!!), with easy access to major thoroughfares, shopping and dining, yet, when you are home, you will feel as though you live in a small rural community, where life moves slowly and you are rooted in your land. What’s not to love? There is a ring doorbell in use. The last three photos are concept photos to show the house with different exterior colors.
