Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by mature hardwoods, this distinctive, executive-level residence combines European-inspired architecture with one of Northern Virginia’s most unique waterfront settings. Its stately brick façade, dramatic rooflines, wrought-iron balcony create a memorable arrival, while the rear of the property opens dramatically to the tranquil waters of Lake Barcroft.
