Some homes check boxes. This one creates memories. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the beloved Hastings Hunt community - where neighbors become friends, block parties mark the holidays, and kids walk or bike to school together - this beautifully maintained colonial is ready to welcome its next family home. With nearly 3400 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space, every corner of this home has been loved. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area, perfect for Sunday mornings and holiday gatherings alike. Step outside to the large screened-in porch and patio, where summer evenings feel endless, and the fully fenced backyard gives little ones (and pets!) room to roam. Cozy winters are made for huddling around the wood-burning fireplace, while the finished basement - completed in 2023 - offers a gym/den, a guest room (5th legal bedroom), a play area, a storage room, and a laundry room (yes, all of it). The primary suite is a true retreat with a renovated bath, a frameless shower, and a custom walk-in closet. Major systems have been updated for peace of mind: new heating (2026), HardiePlank siding (2020), updated windows (2020), patio (2021), fresh front landscaping (2022), and a brand-new fence (2025). Top-rated Fairfax County schools, this home is zoned for Dranesville Elementary, Herndon Middle, and Herndon High School. Located in the heart of the tech corridor, you are just over 2 miles from the Herndon Silver Line Metro. Easy access to the Dulles Toll Road (Rt. 267), Rt. 28, and Fairfax County Parkway makes any commute a breeze. Enjoy proximity to Reston Town Center, Costco, Target, and local favorites like Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, Mediterranean Breeze, and the Herndon Bodega, which are just a short drive away. Minutes away from the Sugarland Run Trail and the W&OD Trail for miles of biking and hiking. Enjoy summer concerts at "Friday Night Live!" in downtown Herndon or explore the nearby Runnymede Park. You will LOVE living in Herndon!
