5604 MARY FAIRFAX Ct

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Fairfax Station, this stately Georgian Colonial sits on a premium ¾-acre lot that feels worlds away from the pace of everyday life. Backing to five acres of common grounds, the home is surrounded by trees in every direction, giving you that rare sense of privacy where mornings feel calm, evenings feel quiet, and every window frames a view that changes with the seasons.

Inside, the home opens to a welcoming foyer with a sweeping staircase and a layout that gives you flexibility from the start. To one side, a private office with built-in bookshelves is ideal for working from home or a quiet reading space. On the other, a generously sized dining room is ready for everything from holiday dinners to casual weeknight meals, with a barn door that opens to an additional living space you can tailor to your needs, whether a formal sitting room, playroom, or whatever fits your lifestyle. The flow between these spaces makes it easy to host, gather, or simply spread out.

At the center of it all is the kitchen, bright, open, and designed for real life. Renovated in 2013, it features granite countertops, modern tile, and a 48" Thermador dual fuel range with six burners and a griddle, along with an abundance of cabinetry that keeps everything organized and within reach. The built-in coffee bar adds a thoughtful touch, and the layout leaves plenty of room for a breakfast table or a cozy spot to sit and connect while meals come together. Just beyond, the family room anchors the home with a wood-burning fireplace (plumbed for gas), creating a natural gathering space on cooler nights.

Upstairs, four well-sized bedrooms provide room for everyone, including a spacious primary suite with a bay-window sitting area that’s perfect for a quiet moment at the start or end of the day. The suite features a large walk-in closet, an additional secondary closet, and a well-appointed bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. The hall bath has been updated, and both upper-level bathrooms are enhanced with skylights that bring in natural light. Each bedroom offers comfortable space and great light, complemented by triple-pane windows and updated doors (2013) that enhance efficiency and comfort throughout the home.

The lower level gives you even more flexibility, with a fifth bedroom, full bath (updated in 2017), a large recreation room, and additional space for a media room, gym, or both. A recently expanded theater room, created by thoughtfully finishing additional space in 2022, adds even more functionality for movie nights, entertaining, or simply relaxing. There’s also a substantial storage area with built-in shelving to keep everything organized but out of sight.

Outside is where this home really settles in. The large deck, updated with new flooring in 2021, overlooks a wooded backyard that feels private and peaceful, with room to entertain, relax, or simply enjoy the setting. It’s the kind of space that naturally becomes part of your daily routine, whether you’re starting the day with coffee or winding down in the evening. A storage shed adds convenience, and the surrounding common area enhances the sense of openness without sacrificing privacy. Major systems have also been thoughtfully maintained, including a newer roof (2021) and water heater (2022), offering peace of mind for the next owner.
The neighborhood is known for its welcoming feel, with gatherings throughout the year from holiday celebrations to summer events. While the setting feels tucked away, you’re just minutes to Safeway, Giant, Target, Fairfax Corner, Fair Lakes, and Fair Oaks Mall. Enjoy nearby trails and water at Burke Lake Park, with easy access to the Burke Centre VRE, major roadways, and George Mason University. This is a home that feels warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in, comfortable, functional, and easy to settle into from day one.
