5250 RIDGE CT, FAIRFAX, VA 22032

Welcome to 5250 Ridge Court, a 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath colonial which sits at the top of a private pipestem, off a cul-de-sac in Kings Park West. We think its position on the private drive is just lovely and allows extra space for play and visiting with friends and neighbors. The yard of this home is reminiscent of that of a New York City brownstone with charming gardens and exquisite vignettes which absolutely invite exploration of this hidden and private gem. The steward of this secret garden is a majestic maple tree with a massive trunk and stately branches, overlooking a wonderland of paths through the unique gardens. The youngest to the oldest of visitors will find delight and adventure amongst those garden paths and play areas. It's simply spectacular. The inside of this home is nearly as delightful as the exterior...or is it the other way around? From the foyer, you'll find a very well-appointed office with built-in cabinetry, quartz counters, and hardwood floors. The living room, which sits just opposite of the office, is large and light and opens itself onto the captivating dining room with fireplace, beautiful fixtures, and designer touches. The kitchen and breakfast nook are graciously designed with exceptional windows to include a large bow window with window seat and an oversized window over the sink. Just off the kitchen sits a well-crafted and functional mudroom and pantry area with tons of storage and an abundance of style. The main level is completed by a tasteful powder room and the entirety of the main level has recently added and/or refinished hardwood flooring. Upstairs, you'll find four very nice-sized bedrooms and two totally renovated bathrooms. Make sure to pay close attention to the bathroom mirrors! They aren't just for gazing upon your beautiful face; they are, in fact, the loveliest of medicine cabinets and provide tons of storage. The lower level of this distinctive home, much like the medicine cabinets, is quite handsome but also so very useful. With a sizeable family room, nice-sized bedroom, full bathroom, and large kitchenette and laundry space, this lower level could easily function as an au-pair or mother-in-law suite. Either way, someone is going to be very happy and comfortable doing the laundry. This home is a testament to the exquisite taste and vision of its former occupant and we can't wait to show it to her! We also can't wait to see who the special next owner will be. Roof replaced in 2023, HVAC replaced in 2023, windows replaced in 2020.Kings Park West is itself such a special and sought-after neighborhood. There's a large lake with a 2 mile nature trail, several parks and playgrounds, tennis and sports courts, a soccer field and a KPW soccer league for the littles (seriously, so cute), 3 community pools with NO WAITING LIST, quick access to Metro bus and the VRE, and just a short distance from University Mall Theatre which has the best popcorn in Fairfax County.
