We have two homes for sale getting ready to hit the market in Lorton VA - a nice older single family split-level near Pohick Road and the Lorton Station North / VRE area, and an elegant 2 car garage luxury townhouse near Silverbrook Road.  Both will be on the market within the next two weeks with open houses planned the first weekend. The single family home features four bedrooms, a potential mother-in-law suite in the basement, huge partially fenced yard with shed, beautiful hardwoods on the main level and ceramic in the walk-out basement.  The kitchen is newly renovated with sparkling granite, recessed lighting, and all new stainless steel appliances.  Baths are also renovated.  Plenty of driveway and street parking, and just down the block is Pohick Park with trails, picnic area and a basketball court.  It's a lovely home and walking distance to the Lorton VRE, restaurants, and shopping.  Very close to Ft. Belvoir!  Price will be in the low $400,000 range. The luxury townhouse is a newer, high-end builder home featuring brick façade, two-car garage with epoxy sealed floor, hardwoods, high ceilings, recessed lighting, an expansive gourmet kitchen with granite, cooktop with downdraft, wall oven, and tons of cabinet and counter space.  Breakfast room by the deck offers a sunny place for morning coffee.  Master bedroom has a tray ceiling, huge walk-in closet, soaker tub and separate shower.  Laundry room off bedrooms on upper level of home. There's a fireplace in the fully finished, walk-out basement.  Great views from this location, and minutes to I95, VRE, bus to metro, and lots of great shopping and restaurants nearby.   The Lorton Workhouse Arts Center is just around the corner, and it's minutes from Fountainhead Park, the Potomac, and Historic Occoquan.  This home also offers an excellent commute to Ft. Belvoir and the NGA facilities, or take the VRE to DC or the Pentagon/Crystal City area.  Price will be set just before it hits the market - expect it to be in the general range of $500k. The 2015 market seems to be off to a fast start!   We're seeing lots of buying activity - so if you're thinking of putting your home on the market for sale, it's definitely not too early.  We've already heard from other real estate agents in search of homes for their buyer clients.   Contact us for a complementary market analysis or home visit to help you plan your next move!
