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.
