Description

Welcome to 11710 Amkin Drive, located in the lush Plantation Hills subdivision of historic Clifton, Virginia. Known for its wooded surroundings, spacious homesites, and peaceful, semi-rural setting, the neighborhood reflects the characteristic charm that Clifton is known for: a blend of refined suburban living with a distinctly countryside feel. When you enter Amkin Drive, you leave the world behind and will find yourself in a neighborhood of beautiful landscaping and stunning homes. Plantation Hills also has easy access to Clifton Road, Route 29, the Fairfax County Parkway, and Route 66. This makes the neighborhood a strong option for commuters heading toward Fairfax, Tysons, Washington, D.C., or Fort Belvoir.
Despite its convenient location, the community maintains a sense of retreat due to Clifton’s protected parkland, equestrian areas, and low commercial density. If you are looking for a secluded private home in Fairfax County with plenty of space but convenient to all of the county's amenities, this is your next home!

Your next home is a custom built 4 bedroom 3.5 bath Williamsburg Colonial, built in 1988 with over 3500 total square feet. Set way back from Amkin Drive, a street with no through traffic and approximately 1/3 miles from Clifton Road, access to the home is provided by a 365 foot long 11 foot wide concrete driveway with a 40' x 48' area at the top providing parking for 4 vehicles, and situated on 5 private acres in a parklike, peaceful setting. The upper level consists of 3 generously sized bedrooms, including the primary suite, connecting full primary bath and additional full hall bath. The main level boasts large eat in kitchen, formal dining room, formal living room with wood burning fireplace, mud room, crown molding/chair rail, 4th bedroom, and full bath. Kitchen appliances include new glass cooktop, new wall oven, new stainless side by side fridge, and new stainless dishwasher. Ceiling fans can be found in each bedroom (2 in the primary suite), kitchen and living rooms. Refinished hardwood flooring is on the main and upper levels with new tile flooring in the kitchen, hallway and mud room. The 3/4 finished lower level includes large rec room, office with built-in book shelves and half bath. The dog safe rear yard features an 80' x 100' 5' tall cast iron fence with two gates, stamped concrete patio and hookup for a hot tub. Last but certainly not least, the home also includes newer roof (2.5 years old), 2 zone HVAC system, 6 inch exterior walls, 9' ceilings on the main level, and new paint.

The quaint and historic downtown area of Clifton contains lovely neighborhood shops and restaurants, including Trummers, Villagio, the Main Street Pub, the Clifton Cafe & Coffee Shop, Motier French Restaurant/Pastry shop, and the famous Peterson's Ice Cream Depot. Not too far is gorgeous Burke Lake Park, which has a large lake accomodating boating and fishing, 4.5 mile walking/hiking trail, picnic/shelter areas, carousel, choo choo train, and ice cream/food concession. Please reach out to me for a private showing of this special home!
