Property Description
Welcome to one of the most unique and affordable opportunities in Fairfax County — the smallest single-family home in the county that offers more freedom, more outdoor access, and more lifestyle than you'd ever expect at this price point. Why settle for a condo when you can enjoy your own land, no HOA restrictions, and direct access to the outdoors for less?
Nestled near the banks of the river, this charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath home makes it easy to live the Northern Virginia lifestyle without compromise. Whether you're into kayaking, fishing, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the water, you'll love living so close to Mason Neck State Park, Pohick Bay, Gunston Hall, and the Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge — home to miles of hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails, fishing ponds, picnic areas, and even bald eagle habitats. Meadowood Special Recreation Management Area, just minutes away, offers over 800 acres of trails and outdoor adventure, ensuring your weekends are always filled with exploration.
Thoughtful updates make this home move-in ready:
2023: Lot regraded, new oversized drainage pipe, re-graveled driveway with extra parking, and a new 15x15 rear patio.
2022: New washer & dryer, plus dead tree removal for a cleaner, safer lot.
2018: Upgraded electrical (150/200-amp service), new alternative septic system and drain field.
2017: Renovated kitchen with Silestone counters, tile flooring, and new lower cabinets; bathroom updated with a new stand-up shower, vanity, and flooring; new baseboard heating units; structural improvements including replacement of water-damaged joists, flooring, and wall sections.
2015: Corrected foundation and added a steel I-beam for long-term stability.
Why this home? It's cheaper than most condos, offers unmatched access to nature, and gives you the freedom of single-family living — all while still being just about 25 miles from Washington, D.C. Close to major commuter routes yet private enough to make you wonder if you're still in Fairfax County, this home is perfect for anyone who wants to balance convenience with serenity.
If you've been searching for an affordable way to live in Fairfax County with endless outdoor adventure at your fingertips, this is it.
