Langley Oaks is a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood located immediately west of Langley High School just minutes to the 495 Beltway and George Washington Parkway. The Potomac River is just over 1/3 of a mile to the North reachable on paths that residents can take through the surrounding Fairfax County parkland. Between 1975 and 1985 there were 310 households built on mostly half acre lots and a total of fifteen cul de sacs. Each year the residents host a Halloween Parade and a July Fourth event.
This Elegant English Country Cape style home is in Langley Oaks, one of McLean's most sought-after neighborhoods because of its cul-de-sac design (no through traffic), and wide and winding tree-lined streets with sidewalks. As you enter the home you are greeted with an elegant, curved staircase as the focal point in the spacious foyer with brand new (2021) LED recessed lighting (whole house was refitted with new LED lighting). The library is properly placed just off the foyer in a quiet section of the home with a lovely garden view out the bay window. In the other direction off the foyer, you walk into a generous Living Room which connects you to the formal Dining Room also with a bay window. One of the desired highlights of this model is the generous first floor Primary Bedroom Suite wing with a large cedar walk in closet and a luxury primary bathroom with separate tub and show and double vanity. Down the hallway from the foyer there is a family room with a vaulted ceiling overlooking a phenomenal backyard with lovely extra-large outdoor decking that is accessed from the twin french doors on either side of the wood burning fireplace and hearth area. The updated kitchen has a large morning area with skylights in the vaulted ceiling and a lovely view out two double hung Renewal windows by Anderson (all the windows and doors were replaced in 2018 by Anderson). The kitchen was updated with a new glass tile backsplash, KitchenAid glass cooktop in the granite center island and a new double GE Profile double convection oven. Recently remodeled & configured, the mudroom area has a second main level half bath, spacious laundry room with a window and a changing station area before access to the oversize two car side loading garage with two full size windows and new asphalt driveway. The second highlight of the main level is the unexpected addition of the great room overlooking the backyard with access to the rear deck. The magnificent cathedral ceiling with Hunt Country beams and a gas fireplace will certainly lure you into spending a majority of your day in this room. The upper level has 4 additional bedrooms all overlooking the private peaceful rear yard. The Second Primary bedroom suite has an ensuite renovated bath with shower and double vanity sink area and a large walk-in cedar closet. The hallway has a handy storage room and separate HVAC room. The secondary bedrooms all share a large hall full bath with double vanities. Above the foyer, access by the upper-level hallway is a convenient mezzanine loft area great for students to surf the internet, study or reading area. The lower level has everything you ever wanted, it is over 1400 finished square feet, made up of a Lounge area with a kitchenette with built-in cabinetry, and wood burning fireplace part of a club room with Billiards and a play and exercise area and finally a media area and full bath. There is also an unfinished area with plenty of storage and a separate private rear walkup entrance to the backyard. This home is warm and inviting.
