10174 Bessmer Lane Fairfax, VA 22032

When my daughter was a little girl, she often talked about playing in the huge house with the secret passage--she was so excited. Well, THIS is THAT house! And it's still very exciting! Welcome to 10174 Bessmer Lane in sought-after Kings Park West. This very spacious, 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath Baron model colonial has been expanded and improved in the most interesting and unique ways. First, the curb appeal--huge. The house sits on a lovely landscaped lot with a brick front patio, just perfect for summer drinks and neighborly chats. Upon entering the home, you'll notice lovely hardwood floors running throughout just about the entirety of the main level which includes a living room, family room, dining room, powder room, and kitchen. I'm particularly partial to the family room with it's arched windows flanking the fireplace. In the kitchen, you'll find new appliances, quartz counters, a large garden window, two pantries, and a smart butler's panty. The window seat in the kitchen is sure to be a favorite gathering spot for all! In addition to the four original bedrooms upstairs, you'll find a large separate living space above the garage with a full bath, washer/dryer, separate access and lovely windows and a soaring vaulted ceiling. It's going to be hard to chose your favorite among those upper levels bedrooms because each is filled with character...and surprises! I think my favorite is the blue and white bedroom which is expanded, has its own deck, and separate sitting area, and a spectacular spiral staircase--amazing craftsmanship--to the main level sunroom. Movie nights are in some buyer's future because the lower level is perfect for a night of Netflix and popcorn. Laundry piling up? No problem--this house has a stunning laundry room that will make washing and drying a chore no more. Electrical panel, HVAC 1 year old, primary and upper hall bath completely remodeled 2026, fresh paint throughout, new appliances, new laundry room, fresh paint and replaced carpets in lower level and addition, 2026. Kings Park West is such a special 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.
