Property Description
Welcome to 5873 Kara Place-an all-brick, end-unit townhome tucked into the quiet, tree-lined Burke Station Square community. With over 2,200 square feet of finished living space, this home combines timeless charm, generous room sizes, and an unbeatable commuter-friendly location. Two assigned parking spaces and a welcoming front porch create inviting curb appeal, while the landscaped back deck and patio offer the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Inside, real hardwood floors and elegant arched doorways add warmth and character throughout the main level. The beautifully updated kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring a massive center island ideal for meal prep, casual dining, or gathering with friends and family. Warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a spacious table area make the space both stylish and functional. Just off the kitchen, the cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect setting for everyday living or entertaining. A separate den offers flexible space for a home office, library, or playroom. Sliding glass doors lead to the elevated deck overlooking peaceful trees, creating a private outdoor retreat. A convenient half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite features a walk-in closet and private updated ensuite bath. Three additional well-sized bedrooms and an updated full hall bath provide plenty of room for everyone. The walkout lower level offers a spacious rec room with endless possibilities for a home gym, media room, or hangout space. Step outside to the beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard backing to trees for added privacy. An oversized laundry and storage room provides exceptional storage space rarely found in townhome living. Residents enjoy access to the community pool just around the corner, plus an incredible location less than a quarter mile to the Rolling Road VRE Station for easy commuting.
