Property Description

Some homes feel polished the moment you arrive, and this Colonial in John Leary has that easy, settled confidence. Set on a 0.24-acre corner cul-de-sac lot, it pairs classic curb appeal with the kind of interior space that makes daily life feel smoother: 3,534 finished square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, a 2-car attached garage, and multiple places to gather, unwind, work, host, or simply enjoy more room to breathe. Step inside and the main level opens with a warm, welcoming rhythm. Hardwood floors, crown molding, chair-rail, and shadow-box detail, recessed lighting, and generous room sizes give the home a finished, intentional feel without making it precious. Formal living and dining spaces are ready for candlelit dinners, holiday spreads, and quiet evenings with the good dishes finally out of the cabinet. Toward the back, the floor plan relaxes into the spaces everyone gravitates toward: a spacious family room, a gas fireplace, and an eat-in gourmet kitchen that keeps the conversation close. The kitchen is the heart of the home in the best way. Granite counters, an island, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, a pantry, and abundant prep space make it practical on busy days and beautiful when guests are gathered nearby. There is room for coffee at the counter, a casual meal in the breakfast area, and that satisfying moment when the doors open to the deck and indoor-outdoor living becomes part of the routine. The deck, patio, fenced rear setting, and usable yard give you options: morning air, an evening drink, container gardens, a grill station, or a comfortable outdoor setup. Upstairs, the private spaces are calm and well-proportioned. The primary suite offers the kind of retreat that makes the end of the day feel better, with a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, double-sink vanity, and room to slow down. Additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, creative space, fitness, hobbies, study, or a quiet office setup. The upper-level laundry keeps everyday chores where they belong. The finished lower level adds another layer of usefulness. With a large recreation area, full bath, finished utility space, and direct access to the backyard, it is ready for movie nights, games, project space, a second lounge, or a more private setup for extended stays. It is the kind of lower level that does not feel like an afterthought; it feels like more home. The practical pieces are here, too: double-pane windows, central air, gas heat, public water and sewer, a security system, a shed for extra storage, and garage space with room to keep things organized. The HOA covers common area maintenance, trash, and snow removal. And then there is the location. John Leary places you in one of Lorton’s most appealing pockets, close to the outdoor character that makes this part of Fairfax County feel different from the busier corridors nearby. Pohick Bay Regional Park offers a marina, boat launch, kayak and paddleboard rentals, camping, golf, mini golf, picnic areas, and wooded trails along the bay. Mason Neck State Park adds nature trails, paved multi-use trails, water views, wildlife watching, and a peaceful setting along the Potomac. Gunston Hall brings local history into the mix, while Lorton Station, Route 1, I-95, Fort Belvoir, the VRE, and the Auto Train keep commuting, dining, shopping, and weekend plans within easy reach. This is a home with presence, comfort, and genuine versatility. It has the formal rooms when you want them, the open everyday spaces when you need them, and the outdoor connection that makes a house feel even larger than its square footage. It is classic without feeling dated, spacious without feeling empty, and polished without trying too hard. In Pohick Landing, surrounded by parks, water, history, and convenience, this Colonial is ready to be lived in beautifully.
