Property Description
Tucked on a quiet street in the heart of Burke, 6608 Crayford Street has been continuously reinvested in and thoughtfully expanded by the same caring owners for almost two decades. The major work has already been done, and done well. In 2004, a 20' by 16' vaulted-ceiling family room with French doors to the back deck was added, along with a first-floor laundry area. The kitchen has been fully remodeled with 42-inch light maple cabinetry, granite countertops, upgraded appliances, ceramic tile flooring, and a built-in pantry. Vaulted and cathedral ceilings run through the living areas and master suite, and neutral decor, a skylight, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans tie the main level together. A fully finished lower level adds a large recreation area and abundant storage along with multiple rooms to use as you see fit. A total square footage of 2584 gives you a lot of room to roam about this home.
Major systems have been replaced not once but twice. The roof was last replaced in 2013 along with a new skylight and gutter system. Vinyl double-pane windows installed 2011. A 20kW Generac whole-house backup generator with a dedicated gas line was added in 2012. Most recently, the home received a brand-new furnace and air conditioning system in June of 2026 and a tankless hot water heater in 2025. More than $300,000 in documented upgrades and repairs have been invested since 2010 alone, and a full itemized history is available upon request.
Outdoors, a professional landscape and drainage overhaul reshaped the private rear yard. A 9-zone irrigation system and ongoing tree care keep the mature landscaping healthy. A rebuilt deck spans the back of the home and opens onto a new stone patio for easy entertaining. A stone driveway, walkway, and front porch add curb appeal, while the rear is completely fenced with maintenance free materials and a storage shed round out the exterior improvements.
Burke sits just west of Springfield in historic Fairfax County, a once-quiet farming community that has grown since the early 1960s into a tree-lined community of roughly 58,000 residents while keeping its small-town character. Wooded lots, neighborhood parks, and walking, biking, and hiking trails are close to home, and Burke Lake Park and the South Run Recreation Center are nearby. Commuting is easy, with metro bus and VRE service close by and the Springfield Metro station, I-95, and I-495 all just minutes away, plus quick access to the Fairfax County Parkway. The home is in the Cherry Run Elementary and Lake Braddock Secondary school pyramid.
With decades of proactive ownership, every major system already replaced, and a location blending small-town charm with easy access to the nation's capital, 6608 Crayford Street offers a rare chance to buy a home where the hard work is already finished.
