This home offers the rare pairing of private outdoor living and a true sense of community in the heart of Fairlington. Tucked away in Fairlington Villages yet close to everything, this two-level home sits in an area known for its tree-lined courtyards, friendly neighbors, and Sunday mornings at the Fairlington Farmers Market, just down the road at the community center. Inside, over 1,500 square feet have been thoughtfully updated over the years. The main level opens into an expansive, light-filled living and dining area, with a kitchen offering generous counter and storage space. The primary bedroom sits on this level alongside renovated full bath, while the lower level adds a bonus room with new flooring, currently being used as a guest room, a family room, a second updated full bath, and a utility room with washer and dryer. The real surprise is outside. A covered porch off the dining area opens to a large deck and garden, all fully fenced, creating a private retreat for morning coffee, al fresco dinners, or an afternoon spent planting. A recently replaced HVAC system, water heater, and electrical panel add peace of mind. Community amenities include pools, tennis courts, and a community center, with Shirlington, I-395, and King Street just minutes away.
