Fairfax Rambler on a Corner Lot — Space, Flexibility, and a Great Location

Homes like this don't come up often in Fairfax — 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, a spacious walkout lower level, and an expansive corner lot with mature trees. Whether you're looking for multi-generational living, room to grow, or just more space than the typical listing offers, this rambler checks a lot of boxes.

Hardwood floors run throughout, two fireplaces add warmth on both levels, and large updated windows keep the living areas bright and connected to the yard. The layout flows naturally, including a space well-suited for conversion into an in-law suite. The home has real character — original details that give it a personality you won't find in newer construction. Two separate front entrances, both with minimal steps, make coming and going easy for everyone — a practical detail that matters more than most people realize until they need it.

Downstairs, the spacious walkout lower level functions almost like a home within a home: high ceilings, large living room areas, kitchenette, a bedroom, and a full bath. It's a great setup for extended family, an au pair, or long-term guests. Partially finished spaces in the lower level give you room to customize or use as storage, and the walk-up attic adds even more storage and future potential — including the possibility of a second floor addition for buyers looking to expand long-term.

Outside, the yard is big enough to actually use — space for entertaining, gardening, kids, or just enjoying the lot.

Location-wise, you're in great shape. Fairhill Elementary is around the corner, several parks and trails are nearby, and the Vienna/Fairfax-GMU Metro is about 5 minutes out. I-495 and Inova Fairfax Hospital are within 5 mins. The public water hookup fee has already been paid.

Priced to reflect the updates it needs, this is a rare chance to get into a home of this size and flexibility in the heart of Fairfax.
