6527 Bay Tree Court

Tucked away from the normal bustle of life in Northern Virginia, comes this Barcroft Woods property with a half-acre of mature land, framed by trees, hydrangeas in bloom, and the kind of quiet that comes with a yard where deer and fox pass through on their own schedule. The home is a five-bedroom split level with a two-car garage and expansive driveway. The formal living and dining rooms open directly to a picturesque screened porch that overlooks the tranquil and fully-fenced back yard, extending an invitation for anyone inclined to sit and stay. The eat-in kitchen extends into a wood-paneled breakfast nook with windows on three sides that brings in all the morning light. The sunken family room, anchored by a large fireplace, has sliding doors that step out to the patio, making the transition between inside and out seamless. A large main-level bedroom with an en suite bath creates a flexible layout for a main-level primary suite or private guest quarters. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a wall of closets, a dedicated dressing area, and a private sitting room adaptable for a studio, a study, or a future bathroom expansion. Three additional bedrooms and a hall bath provide the kind of square footage that makes a house feel settled rather than squeezed. The finished lower level adds a rec room trimmed in reclaimed barnwood with a wet bar, laundry, and storage. Fresh paint throughout, completely refinished hardwoods, new luxury vinyl plank in the den and main-level bedroom and bath, and new carpet in the basement bring the home to a condition that requires nothing on arrival. Barcroft Woods is the kind of established, tree-lined enclave where people put down roots, each home set on generous land and backed by a voluntary association and seasonal events that have kept neighbors connected for decades. At the base of the yard, a sidewalk easement provides a walking path along Lake Barcroft. Other nearby amenities include: Mason District Park, with its farmer's market, ball fields, and walking paths, Green Springs Garden, Pinecrest Golf Course, and Sleepy Hollow Bath and Racquet Club.
