8024 Garlot Drive

Five bedrooms. Three finished levels. A driveway long enough for the whole extended family to park without a game of musical cars this Annandale split-level was built for a full house and everything that comes with one. Step through the foyer and the hardwood floors and crown molding set the tone right away: this is a home that's been cared for, not just lived in. The eat-in kitchen is where mornings will actually happen, with room for a proper table, two pantries for real storage, double ovens for holiday cooking, and a cooktop and range hood that make weeknight dinners easier. Just off the kitchen, the living and dining rooms give you the layout flexibility every family needs formal enough for guests, comfortable enough for Tuesday. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a private balcony (morning coffee, solved) and double closets, plus a dressing area already plumbed for a second vanity if you want to expand the bath down the road. Three additional bedrooms share a hallway with genuinely useful storage two closets, one double-depth and pull-down stairs to a floored attic, so seasonal gear has a home that isn't your garage. The updated hall bath keeps things fresh with a large vanity and tile floor. The lower level does double duty: a fifth bedroom with double closets and four windows makes a great guest room, home office, or teen retreat, and it has its own full bath just steps away. But the real draw down here is the family room, where a gas fireplace with a brick hearth and mantle turns cold nights into an easy excuse to stay in. A laundry room with full-size machines and patio access rounds out the level, and that patio opens onto a landscaped, partially fenced backyard made for grilling, gardening, or letting the kids and dogs run. The oversized attached two-car garage offers more storage than most buyers expect, and that extra-long driveway means parking is never a puzzle. Location-wise, this one's hard to beat. Fairfax Hospital, NOVA, and the Beltway are all close by for the daily commute, while the shops and restaurants at Mosaic District are minutes away for everything else. Dunn Loring Metro is a quick drive for anyone heading into the city, and a pool membership at Camelot Community Club means summer plans are already sorted. Five bedrooms, three full baths, and a location that puts you close to everything this is the kind of home that doesn't come around often.
