Reston is celebrated for its distinctive contemporary homes, though they are a rare find. A stunning example has just come onto the market, beautifully designed to accommodate today's needs--ample entertainment areas both indoors and out, office space, a cozy recreation room, and a butler's pantry. When you come in through the front door, you are welcomed by a stunning view featuring soaring cathedral ceilings and expansive skylights that stretch across the living and dining rooms, divided by a sculptural double-sided fireplace. The modernized kitchen boasts extensive countertop space, stainless steel appliances, an eat-in area, and a butler's pantry--perfect for storing small appliances. The large, well-lit office is right next to the butler's pantry (think of it as a coffee bar zone). The upper level introduces a biophilic design that becomes apparent as you reach the top of the stairs. It includes a balcony off the main bedroom for relaxing, hardwood floors, a walk-in closet, and a separate sink and vanity area. The bathroom gets a prolific amount of sunlight with the window and skylight; you barely need to use the lights during the day. The second upper-level bedroom features a cedar-lined closet and hardwood floors. On the lower level, you will find two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a spacious laundry room, two storage closets, and a family/recreation room equipped with a theatre system. There are two decks: one accessible from the main level and a larger one from the lower level. A whole house fan efficiently cools the home by creating a suction effect, almost eliminating the need for air conditioning. Improvements: The kitchen and primary bathroom were updated six years ago. All appliances (except microwave) and HVAC unit were replaced in the last two years. The laundry appliances are less than a year old. Carpet is brand new. The whole house was just repainted - inside and out!

What stands out about the home's location? Owls Cove Residents have access to a private dock at the end of the cul-de-sac where you can take advantage of paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing! It's .2 miles from Lake Audubon and .5 miles from Lake Thoreau - very accessible to 2 Reston lakes! Capital Bikeshare and paved paths to South Lakes Shopping Center (SLSC) are practically right outside your door. SLSC has a lot to offer: Safeway, CVS, UPS Store, Crest Cleaners, a gas station, a nail salon, Subway, Chipotle, Starbucks and local fav spots - Red's Table, Cafesano, and Lakeside Asia Cafe, and more. It's close to major commuter routes with easy access to the Dulles Toll Road. The Wiehle-Reston East Metro Station is just over a mile and Dulles Airport is less than 10 miles away.
