11686 STOCKBRIDGE LANE, RESTON, VA 20194

$935,000

11686 Stockbridge Lane is the kind of North Reston home that feels collected, loved, and completely different from anything cookie-cutter. A Salt Box inspired design with storybook curb appeal, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and nearly four decades of thoughtful ownership, this home has the warmth and character buyers keep hoping… Read More to find but rarely do. This was the sellers' ''5-year house'' that became their home for almost 38 years, and it shows in the way every improvement has been chosen with care, quality, and respect for the character of the home. The main level is anchored by wide-plank real pine floors, newly refinished in 2026, milled in 12-foot lengths and finished wall to wall, giving the home a sense of history and substance from the moment you walk in. The main level flows beautifully, connecting the formal living and dining rooms with the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room in a way that feels open, comfortable, and true to the character of the home. The living room is especially charming with beautiful built-ins, while the kitchen sits at the center of the home and connects the spaces naturally for everyday life and easy entertaining. Updated with Virginia Alberene soapstone countertops, porcelain tile set in a diamond pattern, refinished solid-wood cabinetry, updated hardware, recessed lighting, and a KitchenAid appliance suite, it feels elevated without losing the soul of the house. Just beyond it, the family room with a wood-burning brick fireplace is the room everyone will gravitate toward. The backyard is one of the defining features of this home: large, private, fully fenced, and beautifully framed by mature landscaping, with extensive hardscape, a patio with knee wall, a garden shed, and an arbor structure that gives the space a layered, established feel. It is the kind of backyard that makes a house feel bigger, calmer, and more connected to nature, with room for outdoor dining, morning coffee, summer evenings with friends, gardening, play, pets, or simply enjoying a level of privacy that is hard to find this close to everything. Upstairs, the primary suite is joined by two secondary bedrooms and a supporting full bath. The lower level adds a generous rec room with an office nook, plus valuable storage, giving buyers flexible space for work, fitness, hobbies, movie nights, or overflow living. Practical details make daily life even easier, including two driveways that flank the home and provide excellent off-street parking. Major updates include a 2025 GAF Timberline UHDX architectural shingle roof on the home and garden shed, 2019 Hardie siding with updated soffits, exterior window trim, sashes, upgraded trim components, and added insulation board, Carrier HVAC installed in 2016, and new carpet installed this month on the upper and lower levels. The location is just as special as the house. Set in a neighborhood known for its real sense of community, including July 4th traditions and a beloved Halloween gathering, you are about 1 mile to the Metro, Reston Town Center, and Lake Anne, less than a mile to North Point Village Center, and only about 10 minutes to Dulles International Airport. Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Giant, Harris Teeter, restaurants, entertainment, coffee shops, and a local microbrewery are all close by, giving you the walkability people want but rarely get with a home that also has this much charm, yard, parking, and privacy. As part of Reston Association, residents enjoy access to 15 pools, 55 miles of trails, numerous parks, 4 lakes, 52 tennis courts, 18 pickleball courts, year-round community events, and community spaces including Walker Nature Center and the Lake House at Lake Newport. This is not a house that was made to look good for market. This is a home that has been lived in, cared for, improved, and loved, and that is exactly what makes it so special. Read Less
