Don't let the tax record fool you, because this conveniently-located 4-level split house in the heart-and-soul of Burke Centre is more than meets the eye! Peacefully situated on an almost-flat 0.20-acre lot that backs to a lovely wooded area, the single-family home has roughly 2,123 square feet across 4 floors and includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a large basement den (9'1" x 12'3"), a huge walk-down deck (20' x 12'), and an extra-long 2-car garage (19'8" x 23'3").   ***************   Entering into the foyer, you are immediately invited in by the free-flowing floor plan that provides great versatility in use, maximizes space, and creates a welcoming atmosphere. The new shutters throughout the house (2023) and new roof (2023) are also an added bonus. The open kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and wood cabinets along with enough space for a small table or rolling island. The dining room can easily fit a 6-person table and opens up nicely to both the kitchen and the living room.   ***************   Past the sliding glass door, you can venture out onto your private walk-down deck, where you can enjoy serene days overlooking a flatter backyard that backs to a wooded area that is non-buildable and privately owned by the Burke Centre Conservancy.   ***************   Travel upstairs to 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with a primary bedroom that overlooks the tranquil backyard and includes a recently-updated en-suite bathroom. Down a level you will find the family room that walks out to a lower deck (10' x 11'), and that has a cozy wood-burning brick fireplace to enjoy during the cold winter months. On the same level you also have access to the oversized 2-car garage, a half bathroom, and a small laundry room.   ***************   If you thought you were done, you're wrong! Down another 7 steps you'll find even more space that has a ton of flexibility in utility thanks to the layout and size of the rooms. The recreation room (21'6" x 10'9") is huge, and the large bonus room (9'1" x 12'3"), that has a smaller window which still allows for some natural sunlight to fill the room and a large closet, can be used as a den, large home office, or your own personal getaway space. Just so you have even more options, there is a nook big enough for an office space or a nice play area at the base of the stairs. The entire basement has new carpet.   ***************   If that wasn't enough, it's hard to beat the convenience that this lovely home grants you! Situated less than one mile from Burke Centre with miles of restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping, and nearby to many major roads, commuting and shopping are a breeze! The Burke VRE and the sweet Saturday morning Burke Farmer's Market (2 miles), Walmart and Giant Food (< 1 mile), H-Mart at Burke Village Center (1.7 miles), Target (2.3 miles), Kings Park Shopping Center (3 miles), and GMU (4.3 miles) are all minutes away.   ***************   Burke Centre, an award-winning, well-thought-out community that spans 1,700 acres has SO much to offer with many trails, pools, tennis/pickleball courts, parks, and events to choose from! There are also 5 community centers that can be rented out to members only, and the yearly Burke Centre Festival is just down the street (0.6 miles).   ***************   The home also provides easy access to many major roads, such as Burke Centre Parkway (0.5 miles), Burke Lake Road (1.2 miles), Fairfax County Parkway (1.7 miles), Rt. 123 (2.7 miles), Braddock Road (3 miles), I-495 (4.8 miles), and Little River Turnpike (5.5 miles). The schools local to the home are Terra Centre Elementary School and Robinson Secondary School.   ***************   If there's only one place for you to call home, this is the one!
