8725 Talbott Farm Drive, Alexandria VA 22309

    A private enclave of just 24 homes, Talbott Farm is located in southern Alexandria on land that was one of five farms owned by George Washington, called Union Farm.  Today, these distinctive homes, built in 2004, are tucked away, yet so close and convenient to Fort Belvoir (10 minutes to Pence Gate), so many restaurants, and incredible shopping just 5 miles north at Mt. Vernon Plaza (Costco, Home Depot, Shoppers Food Warehouse, TJ Maxx and so many others).    Huntington Metro is a short drive, or can be accessed by two bus lines just steps away from this hidden subdivision.

    The home itself is move-in ready, with shiny hardwood floors, fresh paint and new carpet.  The open kitchen is flooded with light and features a kitchen island, hardwood floors, extra tall windows and opens into a bright family room with beautiful gas fireplace.  Add a deck if you want – there is total privacy.  The back of the house faces a woods and small creek, so there will never be other homes built behind you!

     The house is a classic colonial style with a brick front and two-car garage.  The main and upper levels are roughly 2,100 square feet and there’s another 900 in the basement which features a full bath and walk-out entrance – plenty of room to spread out.  Make it an in-law suite or teenager retreat, or a special guest space. Guest parking is located at the back of the complex on the right, and of course the driveway accommodates two additional cars besides the garage. 

    Conveniently located off Richmond Highway (Route 1), one of the oldest national highways in the USA and 2,400 miles long from Maine to Florida, the home is within minutes of various historic treasures such as Woodlawn Plantation, Gunston Hall and Mt. Vernon itself, home of George Washington, around the corner from his whisky distillery.  Huntington Meadows Park with 1,500 acres of wetlands is a 15 minute drive north to one of the best viewing areas for wildlife in Fairfax County.  Just south are the amazing recreational facilities of Pohick Bay Regional Park (riverfront swimming, boating, kayaking; available for picnics, hikes and camping) right on Mason Neck peninsula, known for bald eagles.

     There is so much to offer here.  Come see for yourself!  With such close proximity to the history and natural beauty of our nation’s capital, this gorgeous home offers a rich and exciting lifestyle.  Welcome home!
