7707 Holmes Run Drive

Some houses you tour. This is one you fall for. A true Holmes Run Acres mid-century modern, it sits in one of Virginia's first planned communities and a designated historic district, with the register plaque on the house to prove it. Inside, Douglas fir ceilings soar above while walls of glass pull light and woodland views into every corner. The living and dining spaces feel open, bright, and connected, anchored by a white-painted brick fireplace and the warm original wood closet that defines the homes in this neighborhood. A skylit flex room makes an effortless office, studio, or creative retreat. A floating open-tread staircase leads to a second living space below a den, media room, or playroom, however you live. Held for more than a decade by only its second owners, the home has been thoughtfully stewarded: its character preserved, its comforts quietly updated. The primary suite is a retreat, a spa-like bath finished in marble and brass, a custom closet and a private pea-gravel patio inspired by the owners' travels through the Mediterranean. Behind the scenes, the essentials are handled: newer windows, updated systems, refreshed baths, and heated floors in the primary, all part of a 2020 renovation by Wiedemann Architects and GN Contracting. Off the dining room, a two-level deck rests beneath a grand old tree, a private perch that feels worlds away. The gardens are their own quiet love story: beds of evergreens and perennials embrace the house. A fig tree and a persimmon tree come into season each year, and a raised bed sits ready for the next owner's tomatoes and herbs. The part you can't renovate is the neighborhood. Holmes Run Acres gathers around Luria Park at its center, where neighbors know one another and community still means something. Walk to the elementary school and community pool, and reach the restaurants, movies, and weekend energy of the Mosaic District in minutes. This community was designed to bring the outside in and people together. It still does. Homes like this don't come along often. Neighborhoods like this, even less so. This one is ready for its next chapter!
