FRONT OF THE HOUSE





Beautiful 4 bedroom/2.5 bath colonial home with 1 car garage. Built in 1998, this home provides superb upgrades in a highly sought after neighborhood. Great schools, great neighborhood, and a great house.

Located in Montclair, VA; this very private home boasts almost 2500 sq. ft, of living space with the finished basement.

Less than five miles from the Marine Corps Base Quantico main gate. Additionally, a bus picks up at the end of the street and goes directly to the Pentagon in about 35 minutes. The bus runs every 20-30 minutes from 0430 to 0730 and is funded by the DoD commuter stipend. No parking, no hassle, no problem.

Walking distance to Pattie Elementary School, and Forest Park High is on the outer edge of the neighborhood. The neighborhood has a grocery store, bank, and multiple restaurants.

MAIN ENTRY WAY AND FRONT FAMILY ROOM

Main entry into the home with upgraded custom staircase. Provides beautiful view of the hardwood floors throughout the main floor.



Front family room has lots of natural light and overlooks the neighborhood. A great place to sit and watch the kids play from inside the house.

FORMAL DINING ROOM


Formal dining room has connecting entrance off of the kitchen. Plenty of natural light coming from the window overlooking the front yard and cul de sac.

CUSTOM KITCHEN & BREAKFAST NOOK

The island was designed for the kids to sit and eat breakfast or complete homework. Window over the sink has a view of the backyard.

All appliances will remain with the home.

FAMILY ROOM

Family room complete with fireplace.  Fireplace has been recently had a safety upgrade complete with a freshly cleaned chimney.

Room opens to the back deck and connects w/ the breakfast nook.

BASEMENT - FAMILY ROOM/PRIVATE OFFICE

The basement has two separate rooms and an expanded laundry room complete with folding area. It has an entry hall that exits to the garage. There is not a dedicated walk-out exit other than the exit to the garage.

The pictures show the back room of the basement. There is a door between the front and back room allowing for privacy between the two rooms.

It can be used as a bedroom, theater/family room, or a private office. I currently have a sauna set up in the back of the room (picture displayed is older).

These pictures are older and the basement has been recently painted with neutral colors. 

BASEMENT - FRONT ROOM

This is the front room of the basement. Complete with shelves that will stay with the house.

A nice size room for a bedroom or kids area for the computer or homework.

These are older pictures--basement has been recently painted with neutral colors.

BACKYARD PHOTOS

Great backyard complete with deck. A great place for those family backyard barbecues. Plenty of privacy without the "closed in" feel with neighboring houses right on top of you.


Most of the backyard is wooded and does not require mowing.
However, there is a patch of lawn on one side that provides a nice view of the street and has room for games and/or a swing set.

MONTCLAIR AMMENITIES


Moncure Park located up the street--a short five minute walk. Complete w/ Little League fields, basketball/tennis courts, walking trail, picnic area, and playground.



Every neighborhood needs a golf course...and Montclair is no exception. The 17th and 18th holes are located at the top of the street. You have to be a member of the club to play, however, it's a great course to walk in the evenings. You can even slip in a hole or two...or just putt a few greens.



The Montclair neighborhood is centered around Lake Montclair. A very small man-made lake that has three beaches and awesome family areas. Dolphin beach is the largest beach and is a 5 minute walk from the house....no need to drive. It is great for family swimming (with lifeguards on duty) and is complete with beach volleyball courts, a large pavilion for reservation, a family picnic area, and a large playground. Kids can even fish off the boardwalk.
