8709 FLOWERING DOGWOOD Ln

**OFFER DEADLINE: 5/20 @12:00PM ET.** Refined Living with Water Views in the Heart of Laurel Hill. Welcome to 8709 Flowering Dogwood Lane — a beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home with a bonus guest room in the basement, located in the sought-after Laurel Hill community of Lorton. Backing to a tranquil water view and surrounded by mature landscaping and extensive hardscaping, this home blends luxurious living with natural beauty.

As you step through the front door, you're greeted by a dramatic two-story foyer, setting the tone for the grand, light-filled spaces throughout the home.

The main level offers versatility and elegance with two flex spaces—perfect for offices, studies, or libraries—and a warm family room featuring a striking stacked stone gas fireplace. The spacious formal dining room sets the stage for elegant gatherings, while the open-concept kitchen shines with its 2022 renovation, featuring all-new stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a 5-burner gas cooktop, granite countertops, a stylish backsplash, and a large walk-in pantry. The kitchen also includes a central island with stool seating and a generous casual dining area, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A convenient mudroom/laundry space adds function and flow.

Upstairs, the home features five generously sized bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with a remodeled spa bathroom (2019) showcasing dual vanities, a deep soaking tub overlooking the serene backyard, and a large frameless glass shower with multiple shower heads and spray wands. Beyond the bathroom is a custom walk-in closet, beautifully upgraded in 2015 with drawers, adjustable shelving, and natural light from added windows.

One of the five bedrooms is a spacious bonus room located above the garage with its own en suite bath—ideal as a guest suite, gym, or private retreat.

The walkout lower level is bright and expansive, featuring large windows, a full bathroom, an open entertaining space, a gas fireplace, and a bonus room perfect as a guest suite or a home office. A large unfinished storage room offers future potential as a home theater or workshop.

Step outside to a stunning paver patio built in 2021, with both covered and uncovered spaces, complete with a firepit area — ideal for entertaining or relaxing. A staircase connects to the oversized Trex deck above, which was replaced in 2015, offering the perfect place to grill, dine, and unwind while enjoying the peaceful water view. The underground sprinkler system (2015) helps keep the lush landscaping looking its best.

The home’s major systems have all been thoughtfully maintained and updated: the roof was replaced in 2017, both HVAC systems were replaced in 2025 with high-efficiency Carrier units, the water heater was replaced in 2021, and the driveway was repaved in 2022. The exterior was freshly painted in 2023, adding to the home’s crisp curb appeal.

For added peace of mind and convenience, the home includes a Guardian Smart Home Security System — a comprehensive solution that integrates indoor/outdoor cameras, door lock control, HVAC management, and full home monitoring — all from your smartphone. This smart system conveys with the home.

In addition to its luxurious features, the home is full of everyday convenience — located within walking distance to South County High School and a quick trip to grocery stores, restaurants, and major commuting routes. You’re also minutes from Laurel Hill Golf Club and a short drive to historic downtown Occoquan, a charming riverfront town known for its boutique shops, excellent dining, and access to the Occoquan River. For added ease, the owners are open to selling all furnishings for a separate price.

With timeless upgrades, smart technology, and an unbeatable location, this home is the ideal blend of luxury, lifestyle, and convenience in Northern Virginia.
