11600 Helmont Dr Oakton, VA 22124

It feels good to have this much privacy. Tucked near the end of a cul-de-sac in Oakton, backing to protected parkland, this classic brick home settles into nearly half an acre of lawn, mature trees and leafy backyard views. It is the kind of setting that lets the day exhale as soon as you pull in. Inside, approximately 3,078 measured finished square feet span two completely finished levels, with five bedrooms, three full baths and an attached two-car garage. The layout is generous without wasting space, ready for quiet mornings, company or a work-from-home day behind a closed door. The main level opens wide and bright, pairing hardwood floors with a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, a broad bay window and a gas fireplace as the living room focal point. The fireplace is fueled by natural gas, and there is no propane at the property. The kitchen is made for real use, with richly toned cabinetry, marble-patterned counters, stainless appliances, a gas range, abundant prep space and a wraparound peninsula for easy conversation. A window over the sink frames the green beyond, while the deck just outside makes coffee, grilling and sunset downtime easy. The refrigerator was replaced in 2020 and the dishwasher in 2024, and newer kitchen and laundry faucets add everyday polish. Three bedrooms share this level, including a spacious primary retreat with a walk-in closet and an en suite that feels far from builder basic. Dual sinks, marble-look counters, dark large-format tile, a frameless glass shower and a graphic mosaic accent create a crisp finish. Bathroom faucets and grout have been refreshed, two toilets replaced, and safety rails added in the lower-level walk-in shower. The completely finished basement is where the flexibility really shows. A sprawling recreation room offers space for movie nights, games, hobbies, fitness or a second lounge. The lower-level bar, complete with its own refrigerator, warm wood counters, pendant lighting and a sink, makes hosting easy. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, direct garage access and doors to the patio make this level feel like a true extension of the home rather than an afterthought. The home also offers separate laundry setups, with a washer and dryer on the main level and an additional washer and dryer in the basement. A utility wash tub provides extra convenience for cleanup, projects and everyday household use. The lower-level refrigerator was added in 2020. The gas-fireplace starter was replaced in 2021, and the unit has been inspected annually, providing the glow without the ash cleanup. The separate wood-burning fireplace has remained unused by the current owner. Outside, the deck steps down to a paver patio, broad fenced lawn and artificial-turf recreation area installed in 2021. Two wood gates, a backyard shed added in 2024 and a retaining wall completed in 2023 keep the yard practical. The chimney and wood-facing repairs were completed in 2025. Out front, the driveway was widened for two-car access and paved in 2021, while a gently graded walkway was added in 2023. Handrails at the front entry and garage stairs were installed in 2021, and a screened storm door arrived in 2022. The behind-the-scenes work matters just as much: a new well bladder tank and electrical-panel surge protector in 2022, new attic insulation in 2023, a water-tank flush in 2024 and a new air-conditioning system in 2026. The side garage door was upgraded, and new garage-door springs and hinges followed in 2025. In 2026, the washer hose was replaced and the drain cleared. All interior rooms were painted or touched up through 2025 and 2026, so the home feels cared for rather than merely prepared for market. Life here also puts Oakton's best extras within easy reach. Oakmont Rec Center brings indoor aquatics, fitness facilities and courts into the mix. The Difficult Run and Cross County Trail network offers a greenway escape when fresh air is the plan.
