**OPEN HOUSES HAVE BEEN CANCELED. PROPERTY IS UNDER CONTRACT** LOCATION Live on one of the most coveted streets in Braemar. Enjoy privacy and very little traffic tucked away on the south end of this double ended cul-de-sac street. | EASY & ELEGANT FLOOR PLAN The Rutherford model by NV home is a very well designed Northern Virginia colonial. Foyer entry shows off the formal living room to the left, keeping the heart of the main level floor plan just out of eye line. Formal living room flows easily into the formal dining room. A set of glass paned French doors separates these rooms if the need arises, a sophisticated touch. From the formal dining room, pass through to the kitchen, complete with granite counters and island, light wood cabinetry, brand new double wall ovens, built-in microwave & cook top. Hardwood floors on the main level have been refinished. From the kitchen a built-in granite bar overlooks the sunken family room with new carpet. Cozy up by the gas fireplace in the colder months. In the warmer months, the wood deck off the breakfast nook in the kitchen offers a place for relaxing in the sun in your fully fenced & privately landscaped back yard | FUNCTION & SPACE The six step dual entry staircases from the foyer and kitchen join at a landing before the larger , hidden staircase to the upper level. The simplicity of this design allows for more usable living space. Upstairs, the graceful flow of this floor plan continues as does the new carpeting. At the top of the stairs you will be drawn into the expansive primary bedroom. Small touches like chair railing and crown molding elevate the space. Attached primary bathroom does not disappoint with two separate vanities/sinks, soaking tub and separate shower. Around the corner in the primary bedroom an over-sized walk-in closet with more than enough space. Upper level laundry room sits between the primary bedroom and the upper level office. No need to take over a bedroom for an office here. Two built-in counters allow for two separate desk spaces, each with built-in shelving above. Secondary bedrooms are generous in size, with one being particularly roomy. All share the second full bathroom located off the hallway. Easily add a second sink to the long vanity here for more functional space for years to come. | RECREATION & STORAGE The fully finished basement mirrors the floor plan above, with a sunken recreation area below the main level family room. Below the kitchen a wet bar is the transition between the sunken recreation space, and the remainder of the finished space around the corner (below the formal rooms above.) The current owners have been using this space at the north end of the basement as a guest area with a bed, since there is a third full bathroom here. | COMMUNITY & AMENITIES Within the boundaries of the community are Cedar Point Elementary School & Marstellar Middle School, the former 0.3 miles away, the latter 1 mile away. Patriot High School is also less than 1 mile away. Next to Cedar Point Elementary School sits Braemar Park, home to a playground, tennis and basketball courts. The second notable playground is Clareybrook Park, where you will find more tennis & basketball courts , even junior basketball courts with shorter hoops. Canvas covers allow for a picnic area at Clareybrook Park. A hard topped picnic pavilion is located behind one of two community pools off of Iona Sound Drive. The second community pool is next to Clareybrook Park. Living in Braemar offers access to Routes 28, 29 & 66 within 10-15 minutes. There are also plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Bristow Center is the largest shopping center, anchored by Harris Teeter. Within the community boundaries is the Braemar Village Plaza, anchored by Safeway. Both offer veterinary services, dry cleaners, banks and restaurants.
