2305 Horseferry offers something that is hard to find in Deepwood: an end-unit brick townhome with low-maintenance HardiePlank siding, extra windows along the side of the home, and a private wooded setting behind it. The main level has hardwood floors and an updated kitchen with white shaker cabinets, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a redesigned layout that opens into the family room with bar seating for everyday meals or gathering with friends. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are generously sized, while the lower level adds a large recreation area, durable hard-surface flooring, and a newly installed full bathroom, giving the home three full baths and one half bath in total. A full-size rear deck provides plenty of room to enjoy the trees and privacy, and the attic offers additional storage. Major updates include a roof installed in 2023, windows and HVAC replaced in 2016, a water heater from 2020, a new water service line, new interior doors, and a new rear sliding door. The home does need cosmetic updating, including interior paint, new carpet on the upper level and stairs, renovation of the two upper-level bathrooms, and minor hardwood repairs, and the amount of personal property currently inside limits the interior photography. It is priced below its tax-assessed value to reflect that work and offers a strong opportunity for a buyer who understands the value of an end unit in the Deepwood community, where similar end-unit homes have typically sold between $635,000 and $650,000. Deepwood is not part of the Reston Association, and this is a home for serious buyers who can see beyond the current presentation and recognize the space, setting, improvements, and potential.
