8471 GREAT LAKE LANE

Imagine a fall evening in Newington Forest. The air is cool, the deck is set for dinner, and just steps away -- past a garden of Jackson & Perkins roses, magnolias, camellias, hydrangeas, iris, perennial hibiscus, hollies, and lilies -- a stone staircase leads up to a private perch where a gazebo and built-in fire pit are waiting. This is the life 8471 Great Lake Lane was built for.

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom split foyer offers approx. 1,411 sqft of beautifully maintained living space with hardwood floors and tile throughout. The kitchen opens naturally into the living and dining rooms and spills out onto a freshly painted wood deck -- a seamless flow designed for people who love to gather and entertain.

The outdoor spaces are the true signature of this home. The fully fenced backyard is a curated sanctuary years in the making: a professional greenhouse for the avid grower, a low-maintenance astroturf area perfect for pets, and a garden collection that blooms across every season. The gazebo perch with its built-in fire pit is the kind of space that turns neighbors into lifelong friends.

Inside, the oversized attached garage goes well beyond parking -- with a dedicated workbench and room for a motorcycle, jet ski, or weekend gear alongside your vehicle. There is storage, flexibility, and function built into every corner of this home.

Located in sought-after Newington Forest with access to community pool, trails, and playgrounds, and just minutes from Fort Belvoir, Pohick Rd, and major commuter routes -- this is Northern Virginia living at its most complete. The garden sanctuary, the entertainer's deck, the fire pit evenings -- they are all here, all established, and all waiting for the buyer who will love them as much as the seller has.
