12852 Valleywood Drive

Welcome to Lake Ridge Lynnwood Living at Its Finest! Perfectly sited on a gorgeous .34-acre lot, this stunning brick-front home backs to a gorgeous backdrop of mature trees, where your backyard feels like a private nature retreat and birds sing all day long. From the freshly sealed driveway and brand-new front door to the lush, layered landscaping along the front walkway, the curb appeal alone will stop you in your tracks. Something is always in bloom here, one wave of color giving way to the next, season after season. Step onto the front porch and through the foyer, where gleaming hardwood floors set a warm and welcoming tone. To the left, a cozy living room with beautiful natural light and built-in shelving invites you to slow down, a perfect reading room or sitting retreat. It flows naturally into the formal dining room, which connects to the heart of the home: a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring timeless cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a spacious pantry, and a window above the sink framing peaceful backyard views. A breakfast bar seats two, while the adjacent breakfast room offers the perfect spot for everyday dining. The kitchen and breakfast area open seamlessly into the family room, a showstopper with vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, and sliding glass doors that spill out to the deck and fenced backyard. Indoor-outdoor entertaining has never felt so effortless. Garage access and main-level laundry are also conveniently located here. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary boasting a walk-in closet with custom built-in organization and a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities and a dreamy walk-in shower. Two additional spacious bedrooms share a renovated hall bath that is equally stunning. The lower level offers a finished rec room flexible enough to serve as a guest suite, home gym, or office, plus an unfinished utility and storage area with walk-out stairs to the backyard. The list of updates is impressive: new front door, sealed driveway, fresh hardwood floors in the living and dining rooms, and new carpet throughout the main and upper levels (all 2026); new windows and a renovated lower-level full bath (2025); primary and hall bathrooms fully renovated (2019); new driveway (2019); roof replaced (2016); kitchen renovated with hardwoods added in the foyer and kitchen (2015); HVAC (2011); and water heater (2010). Every major system, every finishing touch, it has all been done. Beyond the front door, the lifestyle is equally compelling. Walkable to top rated Old Bridge Elementary and the full school pyramid, minutes to I-95, Fairfax County Parkway, and the VRE, and just 10 minutes to the charming shops and dining of historic Occoquan Village. Looking for a day on the water kayaking, paddleboard, or fishing? Lake Ridge Marina is just 5 minutes away. The Lake Ridge community amenities are extraordinary: five pools (one within walking distance), tennis and pickleball courts, jogging trails, a boat launch, dog park, playgrounds, two community centers, and a calendar full of neighborhood events that make this feel like more than just a neighborhood. It's a community. Homes like this, where every detail has been tended to, every space has been loved, and the setting feels almost too good to be true, rarely stay on the market for long. Some homes check the boxes, but this one will capture your heart!
