7411 ELLWOOD PLACE

Some homes are well-maintained. This one has been loved - it shows in every corner and is more than just being maintained. From the new front door that makes a statement the moment you arrive, to the waterfall that trickles through a native-plant backyard sanctuary, this mid-century Springfield home has been transformed with intention and care.
Inside, an open floor plan connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas effortlessly. The kitchen is the heart of it all -- central island, lighted glass-front cabinets, and updated stainless steel appliances with gas stove that make cooking feel like a pleasure. Large double-pane windows, new picture window flood every level with natural light, and the updated brick fireplace with new hearth tile anchors the living room with warmth and character. The improvements touch nearly every room: new hardwood and tile on the lower level, double patio doors, new interior doors and hardware throughout, tile backsplash in both bathrooms, refreshed light fixtures, and newly painted rooms that feel cohesive and calm. Then there's the bookcase wall with door to the family room -- one of those wonderful surprises -- which creates the option for a 4th bedroom. Three bedrooms, one and a half baths, a new furnace (2024), previously replaced windows and roof round out a home that is genuinely ready for its next chapter.
Step outside and the investment continues: an expanded patio with double doors from the dining room, a fire pit terrace for evening gatherings, hardscape pathways, a recirculating waterfall and stream, a playground, shed, fully fenced yard and native landscaping curated with the care of someone who truly loves this land -- many plants marked with their own name placards. Birds visiting daily. Gutters replaced and the roof and windows were updated in prior years.
This home is set on a quiet cul-de-sac lot with no HOA, a neighborhood pool, and sidewalks made for evening strolls. Minutes to the Franconia-Springfield Metro and VRE, with quick access to I-95, I-395, and I-495 for easy seamless connections to Alexandria, Arlington, Tysons, and D.C. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and The Container Store are just down Old Keene Mill Road at Springfield Plaza. Springfield Town Center -- with premier shopping, dining, a Regal theater, and the LEGO Discovery Center -- is under 10 minutes away. Lake Accotink is just down the road for hiking, biking, and fishing. This home is ready to welcome someone who will love it just as much as the people who are leaving it behind.
