This Reston townhouse is beautifully updated.

This weeks top pick is…surprise, surprise…my own listing, but it’s a great property so I’m not going to worry about shameless self-promotion. Besides, your Real Estate Agent is supposed to be in business of promoting. So on to the listing—it’s a great 3 bedroom 2.5 bath townhome in the Uplands area of Reston. 11178 Forest Edge Dr in the Forest Edge Cluster.

Tennis Courts in the Uplands Recreation Area

The property is wonderful, every room has been renovated, new kitchen, all new baths, new floors, new windows—really new everything and beautifully executed. The other thing I like about this property is how wakable it is…Several of Reston’s famous black paths cut right through the Cluster providing safe easy access by foot or by bike to any number of community amenities.

55 miles of paved walkways meander throughout Reston

The elementary school, pool, tennis, basketball, and the baseball diamond were all within about a 3 – 5 minute walk. Lake Anne Plaza with its Saturday Farmer’s Market, shops and restaurants is an easy walk at just over ½ mile away. The black paths form a network will get walkers and bikers to most of the Village Centers and to Town Center without ever crossing a busy street. The trails aren’t always the most direct but they are often beautiful, taking you through the woods and along stream beds.  It’s a great way to get where you’re going.

For Sale in Reston—this weeks top picks.

As we begin moving into the Spring market people are beginning to get their homes listed and on the market. The number of new listings added each week has been steadily increasing. Well priced property continues to move pretty quickly. Each week I go out and preview the new listings so that I’ll have first hand experience with what is on the market.

My top pick for this week is a wonderful townhouse in the Sunderbriar Cluster in the Lake Anne neighborhood of Reston. First let me say that this is not my listing—I wish that it was because this property is clearly owned by a great client; the house really sparkles from top to bottom.

The particulars: This is a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath all brick townhouse with a 2 car garage.  It sits right on the one of Reston’s walking paths and is maybe a 3 minute walk to Lake Anne Village Center.

The house is immaculate, and sunny with crisp white trim accenting lovely wall colors. The sunny kitchen offers a beautiful alternative to the standard stainless steel and granite with a beautiful custom tile countertop in a deep blue that brings to mind the Mediterranean.  All of the bathrooms have been updated and all of them look great.

If you’d like to see this property give me a call!
