New price!  An exceptional 2019-built residence by Wakefield Homes offers four finished levels of sophisticated living just off Mount Vernon Memorial Parkway. Rich hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, upper staircase, and Owners' Bedroom.

The gourmet kitchen is the true showpiece — a waterfall-edge quartz island, stainless steel appliances, a six-burner gas stove, and designer pendant lighting over the breakfast bar. The family room offers a striking gas fireplace with marble surround beneath a custom box beam ceiling. A sunlit home office with double French doors and a gracious dining room complete the main level, along with a screened porch and Trex deck for indoor-outdoor living.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with a spa-inspired bathroom, soaking tub, and oversized glass shower with bench. Bedroom 2 has a private ensuite; Bedrooms 3 and 4 share a full bath. The rare fourth-level loft retreat adds Bedroom 5, a bonus area, extra storage, and a utility room roughed in for a future full bathroom — a standout feature few homes in this price range offer.

The fully finished lower level delivers exceptional entertaining space: two recreation/game areas, a full bathroom, and a Media Room with stadium flooring, built-in speakers, and projector wiring. A level walk-out leads to a slate stone patio beneath the deck.

Located across from Grist Mill Park and minutes from George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate, with everyday convenience at Mount Vernon Plaza and the Beacon Center in Groveton. Fort Belvoir is a major nearby employer, with easy access via Richmond Highway (Route 1), the GW Parkway, and I-95/I-495. Franconia-Springfield Station offers combined Metro Blue Line and VRE service, with DCA just 20 minutes away.

Presenting a distinguished Wakefield Homes “Melson II” in the coveted Plymouth Haven/Waynewood community—set on a prominent 1/2-acre lot and offering over 4,500 finished square feet designed for how life is actually lived. For the car enthusiast, a rare three-car garage immediately sets it apart, delivering the flexibility and convenience few homes in this neighborhood can match.
A classic Craftsman exterior and expansive flagstone front porch create a striking first impression—the kind of space that invites slow mornings with coffee, evening conversations, and a natural connection to the neighborhood. Inside, 10-foot ceilings and wide-plank hickory floors create a sense of space and ease, while the layout moves effortlessly from everyday living to hosting without ever feeling forced.
At the center, the kitchen is nothing short of captivating—a refined, statement-making space where design and function meet with quiet confidence. Outfitted with GE Café appliances, custom painted maple cabinetry, quartz surfaces, and a striking marble backsplash, it’s anchored by an expansive island that invites connection. Picture candlelight reflecting off polished stone, guests gathered with a glass of wine, conversations lingering well past dinner—this is a space that doesn’t just serve, it draws people in. Just beyond, a Trex patio extends the living outdoors, opening to a backyard ready for summer evenings, weekend barbecues, or simply unwinding at the end of the day.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are genuinely spacious, offering privacy and flexibility, while the primary suite feels like a true reset—soaking in the freestanding tub, a quiet start to the morning, or a place to step away and recharge.
The expansive partially finished lower level adds a recreation room, bedroom, and full bath—ideal for overnight guests, game nights, or creating the space your life hasn’t needed yet but inevitably will. And the additional 700 square feet of unfinished space provides endless opportunities to evolve into a gym, media room, wine cellar or game room!
In a neighborhood where space and functionality are increasingly hard to find, this home stands apart—anchored by its scale, large lot, and a three-car garage that elevates everyday living. Opportunities like this in Plymouth Haven/Waynewood are limited and won’t last long!
