About this home

Just across the street from beautiful Silver Lake in Merrifield, this expansive 4,500+ square foot home sits on over 12 acres and offers the kind of space and privacy that’s becoming harder to find. Tucked into a more hidden setting with a fenced backyard and mature surroundings, the property provides a peaceful retreat while still being close to everything the area has to offer. Inside, the home was built with gathering and everyday living in mind. Generous living spaces give everyone room to spread out, whether you're hosting holidays, welcoming guests, or simply enjoying quiet evenings at home. The layout offers flexibility for a variety of lifestyles, with space for home offices, hobby areas, or additional guest accommodations—making it well suited for larger households or anyone who appreciates having room to breathe. One of the true highlights of the home is the oversized primary suite, designed to be a private retreat of its own. This spacious area features a large walk-in closet, his-and-hers sinks, and the added convenience of laundry within the suite. A bright sunroom offers the perfect place to start your morning with coffee or unwind at the end of the day, while the attached screened-in porch provides a comfortable space to enjoy the outdoors without the bugs—ideal for relaxing summer evenings or taking in the peaceful surroundings. Outside, the nearly five-acre parcel offers both privacy and functionality. The fenced backyard provides a great space for pets, play, or entertaining, while the detached three-car garage offers plenty of room for vehicles, storage, or workshop space. Whether you're storing lake toys, outdoor equipment, or simply appreciate having extra room to stay organized, this added garage space is a valuable feature that sets the property apart. Lovingly maintained over the years, this home offers a solid foundation and a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to bring their own style and vision to life. The generous square footage, thoughtful layout, and desirable location create the perfect canvas to personalize over time, allowing you to make the home truly reflect your taste while enjoying everything it already has to offer. Properties that combine this level of square footage, acreage, privacy, and proximity to Silver Lake are a rare find. Whether you're looking for space to grow, room to host family and friends, or simply a place that offers both comfort and potential, this property delivers an opportunity to create something truly special in a beautiful Merrifield setting. Now including all 12.35 wooded acres and pole building prepped for living quarters.

How SODL buyer credits work

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
