1654 Barnstead Dr, Reston, VA 20194

This is the one you wait for. Seriously, if you have been eyeing North Reston, hold on for just a few more days because 1654 Barnstead is playing in an entirely different league. Tucked into one of the area’s most sought after clusters, this end unit has the kind of effortless style and indoor outdoor flow that makes daily life feel easier, calmer, and a little more elevated. The curb appeal sets the tone immediately with classic Hardi siding, a full front porch, mature landscaping, and a setting surrounded by trees that feels peacefully tucked away for how connected the location is. Thoughtful updates including newer windows, newer front and rear doors, and custom shades throughout add comfort and polish. Inside, the layout delivers exactly what buyers in this price point are searching for but rarely find: connected, open, light filled spaces that feel elevated without trying too hard. Hardwood floors run throughout all levels, while the oversized kitchen anchors the main floor with white soft close 42-inch cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, built-in pantry storage, recessed lighting, and enough cabinet space to keep everything tucked away and uncluttered. The dining area flows naturally into the family room and kitchen, giving the main level an open, connected feel that works just as well for everyday life as it does when friends come by. Upstairs, the primary suite feels boutique hotel inspired with a beautifully renovated bath featuring contemporary tile, a seamless glass shower enclosure, dual vanity with granite counters, and a walk-in closet with a glass accent door that gives the space a subtle custom feel. The additional bedrooms are generously sized with great natural light and organized closets, while the secondary bath has been updated with subway tile, accent detailing, and clean modern finishes. Downstairs, the lower level adds the kind of flexible living space that matters now more than ever, whether it becomes your Peloton room, movie lounge, home office, cocktail den, creative studio, or all of the above. A white brick wood burning fireplace adds warmth and character, while walkout access connects the entire level seamlessly to the outdoors. Out back, the oversized deck becomes an extension of the living space, designed for long dinners with friends, low key weekends, and the kind of gatherings where people end up lingering long after they planned to leave, all surrounded by trees, privacy, and layered landscaping. Dual zoned HVAC keeps every level comfortable year round, and the oversized storage and laundry space plus an additional powder room make daily living surprisingly practical. Beyond the home itself, the location checks the boxes buyers care about most, with quick access to Route 7, the Dulles Toll Road, Fairfax County Parkway, and Reston Parkway, just 2.5 miles to the Silver Line Metro, and about 15 minutes to Dulles International Airport. North Point Village Center is within walking distance for everyday convenience and easy nights out, including Giant, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Gregorio’s Trattoria, Finn Thai, Glory Days Grill, Sweet Frog, and more. Reston Town Center is also just minutes away for rooftop drinks, brunch at Barcelona or Founding Farmers, coffee meetings, fitness studios, boutique shopping, concerts, and date nights that do not require planning your entire evening around traffic. Add in two nearby pools, a playground steps from the house, miles of Reston trails, and a setting that feels tucked away without giving up convenience, and you start to understand why homes like this rarely become available and why buyers tend to stay once they find them. Reston itself offers an unmatched lifestyle with 15 pools, 55 miles of trails, numerous parks, four lakes, 52 tennis courts, 18 pickleball courts, community centers, the Walker Nature Center, the Lake House at Lake Newport, and a year round calendar of festivals, concerts, workshops, and community events.
