5304 Danas Crossing Dr, Fairfax, VA, 22032

OPEN HOUSES CANCELLED--Do you just wish you could find a home in a coveted enclave of homes that is in better condition than a builder would build you brand new? Welcome to Danas Crossing! The original owners have kept the wood floors throughout the main level absolutely pristine (which is even better than gleaming) and the upper level is brand new plush carpet where you will be one of the first to step foot. So kick off your shoes under the covered portico outside, and prepare to be dazzled. The oversized entry foyer invites you to choose which room, or level, you want to head first. The grand staircase and contemporary new chandelier at the top of the soaring ceilings may tempt you upstairs, but there is too much to be accomplished or enjoyed on the main level first. Do you have work to finish in your private office, want to entertain for large groups, or to enjoy conversations into the night with close friends while looking up at the stars from the deck? Inside, the front living room mirrors the study, both with arched windows pouring in natural light, only the living room glows right into the elegant formal dining room. If the kitchen is humming with the sounds and smells that make memories, I don't know how you could start anywhere else but the heart of the home. Abundant cabinets frame the space around a center island with gas cooktop and still plenty of granite counter space to please any aspiring chef or baker. The adjacent breakfast room though, is the owners' most favorite space in the entire home (which is saying something with 5,900 sq ft). Well placed seating expands for the largest family celebration, is a front row seat to meal prep and more importantly, is like enjoying a painting of any season, through the wall of glass doors. Owners planted the most remarkable Japanese maple and cherry trees over the years here, and now white dogwood blooms are bordering the lush green sod just installed to complete the oasis you get to admire over your favorite coffee mug. For days a little too chilly, you can still see the fall leaves through the windows in the grand family room with a gas fireplace to gather around. When you've enjoyed all the day can offer and it's time to retreat upstairs for the night, the primary suite alone is a privilege - the sitting room may become a favorite space for evening TV shows, or a good book. The sleeping area is over-sized beneath a tray ceiling, and offers two walk in closets. The bathrooms on this level don't disappoint either, for starting off or ending your day just right. One in the hallway (next to the laundry room) for only two bedrooms to share, because the fourth bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, and the primary bathroom is complete with a corner soaking tub, shower and separate vanities. The finished basement all becomes bonus recreation space, with a wall of built ins to set your game day or movie night, and more to frame a stunning painted Chinese tapestry you can even keep as a house warming gift. The owner's favorites are to bring groceries straight into a separate freezer from the garage, and the extra fridge in the wet bar that is the perfect temperature for keeping fresh picked apples crisp for months. Other lower level highlights are a separate room for crafts, sewing or collections, and a perfect guest room or den behind glass french doors, just down the hall from a 4th full bath. Now this is a lifestyle, in a prime location for commutes, essentials, and pride of ownership of the home in this small community that the neighbors consider the gold standard. oh, and yes it is in the Robinson school district.
