Property Description

Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in Springfield, this beautifully maintained brick home blends timeless character with meaningful updates and an incredible connection to nature. The bright and spacious main living area features oversized windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and a layout that feels both open and welcoming. The renovated kitchen offers white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, stylish backsplash details, and a breakfast bar that flows naturally into the dining area — creating a space that feels practical for everyday living and easy for entertaining. Beyond the interior, this property has a setting that is hard to replicate. The screened porch with skylights overlooks a peaceful, tree-filled backyard with mature landscaping, terraced hardscaping, winding pathways, and usable outdoor space rarely found in this part of Springfield. Whether enjoying coffee on the porch, hosting friends outside, or simply appreciating the privacy and greenery, the home feels like a retreat tucked into the neighborhood. The elevated lot and cul-de-sac location add to the sense of quiet and separation from the everyday rush. The owners have invested consistently in the home over the years, reflecting true pride of ownership. Major improvements include replacement windows with transferable lifetime warranty (2007), gutters (2014), renovated baths (2016 & 2018), renovated kitchen and appliances (2022), exterior sewer line replacement (2022), washer/dryer (2022), HVAC replacement (2023), roof shingles (2024), and attic foam insulation creating a conditioned attic space (2025). This is the kind of home buyers notice — not because everything screams “new,” but because the care, maintenance, and thoughtful improvements have been consistently made over time. Conveniently located in the heart of Springfield, 5512 Kathleen Place offers the rare combination of a quiet residential cul-de-sac setting with outstanding access to daily conveniences, commuter routes, parks, and shopping. Within approximately 1 mile, you’ll find neighborhood parks, local schools, grocery options, dining, and easy access to Braddock Road and Backlick Road. Just a few miles away are the Springfield Town Center, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Target, Costco, and countless restaurants and retail options that make everyday errands simple and convenient. For commuters, the location is especially strong — with quick access to I-495, I-395, and I-95, along with nearby Franconia-Springfield Metro/VRE and commuter bus options for travel into Washington, DC, the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, and surrounding Northern Virginia employment centers. Within roughly 5-10 miles, residents can also enjoy Lake Accotink Park, Wakefield Park trails and recreation, Mosaic District shopping and dining, Tysons, Old Town Alexandria, and more. It’s the kind of location where you can feel tucked away at home, yet still remain remarkably connected to everything Northern Virginia has to offer.
