greaterrestonliving Nearly new townhome in Herndon you can walk everywhere from 🏡 Comment “SUNRISE” and I’ll send you the full listing details. ⠀ Built in 2021 with three bedrooms, three baths, and just over 2,200 square feet across three levels. The main floor is bright and open with high ceilings, and the kitchen anchors the whole space with a big quartz island, top-tier appliances, and a porcelain farmhouse sink. ⠀ The detail people remember is the Sky Lanai off the family room. It’s a covered outdoor room with a gas fireplace and an automatic screen, so you get fresh air without the summer bugs and a little privacy when you want it. ☕ ⠀ Upstairs the primary suite has a walk-in closet and a spa-style bath, with two more bedrooms that flex into an office, a guest room, or a studio. The laundry room is up on the same level, which is the small thing you end up loving. ⠀ What really sets it apart is the location. Woodland Park Crossing is a short walk for groceries, coffee, and restaurants, with green space, walking paths, and a playground just outside the door. Silver Line Metro and Dulles Airport are both minutes away, with easy routes toward Reston, Tysons, and DC. 🌳 ⠀ Comment “SUNRISE” and I’ll send you the full listing details. ⠀ #herndonva #woodlandpark #novarealestate #herndontownhomes Looking to make a move in Northern Virginia?

greaterrestonliving A piece of Reston history is officially on watch: Wiehle Town Hall (aka the A. Smith Bowman Distillery) was added to Preservation Virginia’s “Most Endangered Places” list, adding momentum to local efforts to protect it. Built in the 1880s as the center of Dr. Carl Adolph Max Wiehle’s utopian community, it later became a key part of one of Virginia’s earliest legal whiskey distilleries. Even with multiple historic designations, it still isn’t protected from redevelopment. What do you think should happen next, preserve + repurpose, or rebuild? Want weekly Reston news + events?
