Property Description

A rare opportunity to own in the highly sought-after Lake Barcroft community for under $1 million, with more than half an acre and the exceptional year-round lifestyle afforded by a private 135-acre lake. The value here is in the land, many homes in the area that sell at this price range get torn down and a new home is built in its place. It is always a great value to buy a home for the value in the land. Especially in this neighborhood. 3305 Potterton Drive offers a spacious four-level split-foyer floor plan and the opportunity to create a home that reflects your own style, all within one of Northern Virginia's most distinctive residential communities. The main level features a living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry, and a bright sunroom with a wall of windows overlooking the property. Upper Level 1 offers a generous great room with fireplace that works as a flexible space for relaxing and entertaining. Upper Level 2 provides four bedrooms, including the primary bedroom with private bath, plus an additional hallway full bath to service the other bedrooms and the great room. The lower level includes a recreation room and separate storage room and utility room. But the real treasure is the setting. Lake Barcroft's private 135-acre lake creates an extraordinary waterfront lifestyle just minutes from Washington, DC. Five sandy community beaches provide places to swim, relax, gather with neighbors, enjoy a picnic, or watch the sunset. The lake is ideal for kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, windsurfing, and quiet electric boating, with gasoline-powered engines prohibited to help preserve the peaceful character of the water. Surrounded by mature trees, wooded paths, common grounds, and abundant wildlife, Lake Barcroft feels wonderfully removed from the bustle of Northern Virginia while remaining exceptionally convenient to Washington, DC, Arlington, Tysons, the Pentagon, and major commuter routes. The community is also known for its active neighborhood spirit, with seasonal gatherings, beach activities, live music, clubs, and community celebrations throughout the year. For those seeking a home, or a renovation project to build equity, or those that want A LOT, 3305 Potterton Drive offers the rare opportunity to become part of a true lake community—where nature, recreation, and a strong sense of neighborhood come together in an enviable location.
