With its stunning stone exterior and tall portico, extensive front custom hardscape walkway and landing, lovely back porch, plus custom deck and solarium additions overlooking a cascading waterfall, this majestic estate home brings the meaning of “enchanting” to a whole new level. As soon as you pull up into the driveway of 11702 Deerfield Drive for a visit, you know you're in for a rare treat. This glorious 3+ acre property is its own private kingdom where sights and sounds of nature abound. From many areas of the home, you can enjoy picturesque vistas. Whether listening to the bubbling water while relaxing on one of the many settings (rear patio, custom curved Trex deck, or brick patio) designed to maximize that get-away-from-it-all feeling or honing your gardening skills in the climate-controlled solarium, you can feel the stress melt away. The thoughtful owners even created a step out landing above the portico, which affords amazing views of deep woods and a meandering stream that runs through the property. Moving inside, special touches and custom design greet you from every corner. Highlights of the main level include: 9’ ceilings; a beautifully re-designed wood plank staircase with black cast iron balusters; a spacious home office w/bay window; numerous plantation shutters throughout; white cabinet kitchen featuring stainless appliances, wide center island with barstool seating, and granite counter tops; open-concept family room and eat-in kitchen layout, and the family room is enhanced by an eye-catching custom stone floor to ceiling gas-fed fireplace; opposite this space, the living room contains a second gas insert brick fireplace, and the dining room has a wall of French style doors opening onto the deck. The main level also showcases a separate laundry room w/large pantry just a convenient step from the garage and includes easy access to a glass enclosed gardening paradise. Further, the entire main level is covered in rich, upgraded hardwood flooring. The upper level is entirely hardwood floored and offers up spacious bedrooms, including a beautiful primary suite highlighted by an extensive en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, Jacuzzi soaking tub, his and hers sinks. The marble tiled bathroom ends with an enormous walk-in closet professionally redesigned to maximize storage, and it is from here you can step out onto the top of the portico. Also located in the primary suite is a second walk-in closet w/cedar planking. The upper level also features an enormous 4th bedroom extending over the top of the garage which has deep closet space and attic storage, plus there is a large, adjacent, fully tiled second bathroom. Also of note is a unique and amazing “Zen Den”, which must be seen to be believed. The lower level includes - den/5th bedroom with adjacent full bath, recreation room with walk-out to the lower patio; fully customized media/fun room, plus a fully loaded workshop, a dream space for any homeowner with do-it-yourself aspirations. Finally, I would be remiss if mention was not made of the geothermal HVAC system (a 35K upgrade and up to 70% monthly energy bill savings to the next owner) enhanced by high tech insulation throughout (a 23K upgrade), plus a whole house backup generator, so should local power be lost on any hot or cold day, you can stay comfortably right in your own home. This home is also fed by well water so pure that no filtration system was needed. Altogether, this allows for nearly off-the-grid living. And of course, this delightful, one-of-a-kind property is set within Oakton, famous and wildly popular for its brilliant mix of wooded tranquility and ultra-convenient access to awesome amenities and routes all around, including I66, Fairfax Corner, Fairfax Town Center, Wegmans, Costco, Home Depot, and superb restaurants and much more- even Vienna Metro-rail is not far away, plus an amazing school pyramid. Enjoy your visit! The sale includes Parcel A: Tax Map ID # 0365-28-A.
