There are few homes left that were built in the era of details and pride in construction that stands for generations. The bones are Victorian, the wrap around porch invites you to add a glass of lemonade and rocking chairs, but all the updates were done right. Character now meets comfort and peace of mind. Whether you are PCSing to Quantico, the Pentagon, or Fort Belvoir, this is the kind of home that will write stories told for decades. Walk into the kitchen from the 3 car driveway and garage for the every day convenience, or maybe once in a while use the porch to step back into a time when emails and zoom meetings weren't a demand. Original hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and a staircase that actually feels like it belongs here. Work from home or enjoy a book in the wood-paneled den with a fireplace, or get comfy for movie night in the living room. Take in all the finishes that meant more than builder upgrades do today -crown moldings, chair rails, and transom windows. The kitchen is behind it all, with Gray shaker cabinets, quartz counters, gas cooking, and space that flows like all the natural light through the breakfast room and out onto the back deck overlooking the saltwater pool. You may find yourself the most requested host for parties and elegant dinners, so there is a separate dining room too. Upstairs, five bedrooms sprawl out with hardwood floors and sunshine in every room. The home's bathrooms keep the original tile in a way that exudes vintage. Up one more flight of stairs is a separate suite with its own bath, bedroom and flex space. Guests, au-pair, totally private workspace, or the one room everyone wants. The lot and yard are just as rare of a find, at .62 acres. A stone wall and fencing creates ultimate privacy for the level yard with mature trees. The location really makes it a lifestyle upgrade. Walk to Old Town Manassas to grab cookies from Gluten & Ivy, or a casual dinner at Public House, or follow the live music in the air on First Fridays. Historic Manassas has that Hallmark movie town kind of vibe, yet all the essentials are nearby in Centreville and Bristow. Commuting is more manageable than you think when you choose the right routes, so don't overlook this trophy home.
