From the graceful pitch of its roofline to the handmade Dutch door that opens to the patio, this home feels like a deep exhale and a rare find that’s only gotten better with time.<br><br> What began as a classic 3-bedroom home took on a new chapter in 1973, when a thoughtful two-story addition expanded the footprint and transformed the upstairs into a spacious en-suite retreat. Since then, the updates have kept coming, all while preserving the charm that makes this home feel like a storybook. Inside, the main level flows beautifully from room to room, grounded by warm hardwood floors and natural light. The living room is wide and welcoming, with plenty of room to stretch out or host friends. Around the corner, a 2019 kitchen renovation completely reimagined the space merging the former kitchen and a small office into one. Soapstone countertops, subway tile, brass hardware, and stainless-steel appliances add a polished modern edge without feeling too trendy. Just beyond the kitchen, a sun-drenched space offers incredible flexibility, perfect as a dining area, family room, or both. Framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, this inviting room is rich with natural light and warmth. A working fireplace adds a cozy focal point, making this a space with endless possibilities.<br><br> The main level also includes three bedrooms and two full baths, including one with vintage tile in perfect condition and another with stylish upgrades that blend effortlessly with the home’s personality. Tucked just off the kitchen, there’s a conveniently placed half-bath that was refreshed in 2019. The private upstairs suite has its own feel entirely, set under dormer windows with brand new carpet (2023), upgraded insulation for year-round comfort (2019), and a spacious full bath updated this year.<br><br> The updates that matter most have already been handled: roof and rebuilt garage (2013), encapsulated crawl space and new dehumidifier (2021), updated furnace control system (2021), and a water softener + filtration system added in 2019. Well annual service was completed September 2025<br><br> Outside is where the property truly sets itself apart. The long driveway winds around and opens to a nearly one-acre lot framed by tall trees and open sky. There's room for a garden, a hammock, or even a future outbuilding or studio. And the lot's positioning gives you just enough seclusion without ever feeling isolated. And the location? You're in the heart of Annandale’s Pleasant Ridge community. A pocket known for its oversized lots, timeless homes, and peaceful atmosphere. You’re close to everything you need, yet it feels like a private world of its own. So many homes get listed as “rare,” but this one actually is. It’s the kind of place that feels just as good pulling into the driveway as it does waking up inside. A home like this doesn’t come along every year. It might not even come along every decade.
