Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Cardinal Forest community, this stunning 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial offers the rare combination of refined indoor living and tranquil natural surroundings. Set on a wooded quarter-acre lot that backs directly to the protected serenity of Accotink Stream Valley parkland, this home provides the perfect retreat with unmatched privacy and scenic views. Enjoy daily strolls to nearby Lake Accotink or simply relax on the rear deck overlooking lush trees and wildlife. Zoned within the prestigious West Springfield High School pyramid, this home promises top-tier education along with convenience to Metrobus stops, VRE, major commuter routes (I-95/395/495), and the Franconia-Springfield Metro station.
Inside, the classic floorplan has been thoughtfully updated over the last five years to blend timeless charm with modern functionality. Rich ¾” oak hardwood flooring flows throughout most of the main and upper levels, leading to an expansive family room with a gas fireplace, raised brick hearth, custom wet bar, and direct access to the deck. The chef-inspired kitchen is a true standout, featuring 42” oak cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas Wolf range, custom backsplash, island seating, and elegant recessed and pendant lighting. The adjoining breakfast room and oversized living and dining spaces offer seamless flow for daily living and entertaining.
Upstairs, all five spacious bedrooms feature hardwood floors, while the luxurious primary suite boasts a walk-in closet, two additional closets, and a spa-like ensuite bath remodeled in 2022. Enjoy the ultimate in comfort with heated tile floors, a dual-sink vanity, and a curbless walk-in shower outfitted with three shower heads—including a rain feature—plus a separate soaking tub.
Additional highlights include a main-level laundry room, double-pane tilt-in vinyl windows, newer HVAC (2022), water heater (2020), updated vinyl siding, two-car garage with replaced doors, and a widened concrete driveway with a third parking pad. The grand double front doors, brick walkway, and charming front porch create unforgettable curb appeal. The exterior shines with a manicured lawn and vibrant flower beds, maintained with ease thanks to a built-in underground lawn sprinkler system. With an unfinished basement offering endless potential and access to multiple nearby pools including Walden Glen Swim & Racquet Club, this home checks every box for comfort, location, and lifestyle.
