Property Description

Skip the long drives to the coast—your private waterfront escape is right here inside-the-Beltway, offering the rare opportunity to enjoy resort-style lakefront living just minutes from Washington, DC. <br><br> Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by mature hardwoods, this distinctive, executive-level residence combines European-inspired architecture with one of Northern Virginia’s most unique waterfront settings. Its stately brick façade, dramatic rooflines, wrought-iron balcony create a memorable arrival, while the rear of the property opens dramatically to the tranquil waters of Lake Barcroft. <br><br>Equally impressive is the level of investment already made in the property. More than $600,000 in renovations and enhancements have been completed during the current owners’ tenure, including replacement windows and doors, a whole-home generator, plumbing, gas and electrical upgrades, enhanced insulation, extensive waterfront stonework and retaining walls, a custom renovated kitchen, renovated baths, new flooring, a glass conservatory addition, and substantial professional landscaping. A brand-new heated driveway is currently being installed, adding another level of year-round convenience. A comprehensive list of improvements is available in the listing documents. <br><br> Inside, oversized windows capture lake views and natural light throughout the living spaces, creating a seamless connection between the home and its remarkable setting. The custom kitchen features premium cabinetry, high-end appliances and Italian fixtures, while the light-filled conservatory provides an inviting retreat overlooking the property and lake. .<br><br> Outside, expansive terraces, decks, custom stonework, mature landscaping, and multiple outdoor living spaces descend gracefully toward the shoreline. At the water’s edge, a private dock provides direct access to Lake Barcroft, with space for a pontoon boat as well as kayaks and canoes. <br><br>Start the morning with coffee overlooking the water. Launch a kayak from your own backyard. Spend summer afternoons boating on the lake, entertain friends on the waterfront terraces at sunset, or unwind in the lakeside hot tub beneath the stars. The professionally designed, no-lawn landscape adds to the appeal, creating a lush, estate-like setting without the routine mowing associated with a traditional large property. <br><br> Beyond the property, residents enjoy the distinctive Lake Barcroft lifestyle, including five private community beaches and opportunities for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing and boating. It is a private-lake setting that feels remarkably removed from the city while remaining approximately eight miles from Washington, DC. <br><br>With convenient access to Falls Church City, Arlington, the Mosaic District, Tysons and Washington, DC, this home offers an exceptional combination of waterfront privacy and close-in Northern Virginia convenience—a substantially improved lakefront residence designed for those who want the experience of a private retreat without leaving the Washington metropolitan area. <br><br>
