Property Description
OPEN SATURDAY 12-2 ACCEPTING BACK UPS. Set on a picture-perfect half acre atop a gentle knoll, 448 Nelson Drive offers a rare opportunity to own a home that delivers both classic neighborhood charm and truly walkable Vienna living - a combination that is nearly impossible to replicate in Northern Virginia. Located in Vienna's most coveted neighborhood, the home is just a short walk to downtown Vienna and an exceptional collection of local coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, and Whole Foods. For commuters, the location is equally compelling, offering direct access into Washington, DC with no traffic lights, seamless connectivity to major commuter routes, convenient access to both national airports, and proximity to top-tier schools. Built in 2010 and fully renovated in 2022, the home blends timeless architecture with a refined, high-end interior that feels custom at every turn. Professionally designed to evoke a sense of calm inspired by nature, the interiors feature organic textures, livable yet sophisticated spaces, and thoughtfully selected wallpaper throughout that elevates each room with character and warmth. At the heart of the home is a stunning chef's kitchen with dual islands, professional-grade appliances, and a layout designed for both effortless entertaining and everyday living. The floor plan offers four fully finished levels, plus a remarkable, fully finished office suite above the garage complete with its own bathroom and private entrance. This separate yet connected space is ideal for a luxury home office, creative studio, or business workspace. An oversized front porch sets a welcoming tone, while the expansive and exceptionally private backyard features extensive hardscaping, a fully built-in outdoor kitchen, a screened porch, and ample room for a future pool if desired. Surrounded by mature trees, expansive lots, and distinguished custom homes, 448 Nelson is more than a residence. It is a rare lifestyle offering in one of Vienna's most sought-after neighborhoods.
