From The Owners...

Welcome to your new home!

As the original owners, we can’t say enough about how blessed we feel to have lived in this wonderful home for the past 9 years. We love the natural beauty that surrounds us and we love our caring neighbors. We enjoy being part of the vibrant and active Laurel Hill community, but also enjoy the privacy this house provides.

From the moment we walked in the front door the first day we fell in love with the gorgeous open floorplan and the fine design of the build. The home portrays a luxurious feel with the crown molding, wainscoating and hardwood floors. The workmanship and quality of the home have impressed us as well.

We are particularly fond of our stunning gourmet chef ’s kitchen. This room has been the focal point of all our gatherings and our favorite way to entertain friends. It has everything we wanted from the granite countertops to the large kitchen island to the breakfast area. The warm colors of the cabinets highlight the detailed design and the storage space is seemingly endless. The view of the forest in the back is an added bonus and really makes this our favorite room in the house.

We have loved spending time on the enclosed deck. Watching the tree’s transform from the early bloom of spring to their evolving shades in summer to their exquisite colors in fall to the white color of the snow in winter is stunning. Listening to the birds chirping in the early morning, or the flow of rushing water from the distant creek after a thunderstorm provides relaxing solitude. It is truly a quiet escape and a place to be one with nature.

Our two-tiered deck and side yard often came in handy when hosting youth groups to play volleyball or holding a women’s gathering for our church. Guests can walk directly to the back of the home or down to the walkout basement using the brick paved path. One of my favorite memories is sitting on the lower deck in the summer, rocking on the bench swing and enjoying the cool breeze and the watching the butterflies in the forest.

We moved in when our daughter was in 8th grade, and chose Fairfax County because of its superb school system. South County High School was excellent for Advance Placement tests, college preparation, and for playing varsity tennis. It prepared her well for her college life at UVA. Given our close proximity to the nation’s capital we had family and friends visit us several times a year.

Our home has always been welcoming and spacious when hosting guests or throwing festive parties. We once hosted over 80 people for a Christmas party – and everyone remained comfortable.

It has been amazing to see how the community and Lorton in general has evolved and matured into a premier community in southern Fairfax County. We are now surrounded by some amazing resources and amenities such the brand new Laurel Hill Elementary and South County Middle school, access to some great sports and cultural facilities – swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, football, soccer, softball, and lacrosse fields; tot lots & playgrounds; a championship golf course; art centers; libraries; brand new INOVA healthplex making it convenient; cross county trails; and the soon to come Liberty Crest development.

From a commuting standpoint I have enjoyed taking the VRE to Crystal City for work. Parking at Lorton station was easy and I could get to the office in 30 minutes without stress. That is a convenience you rarely find in DC area and another benefit of living in this home.

To sum it all up, this is a great home that can easily accommodate a growing or extended family. We have been truly blessed here and have created many beautiful and fond memories. I hope your family will also be blessed with joy, lots of laughter, and peace. Enjoy.

Sincerely, The Shah Family
