4629 Holly Ave, Fairfax, VA, 22030

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 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, 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.
