As much as CarrHomes would  like to take the credit for both the land and the homes, the Shaker Knolls site  with its tall trees and stream was here long before we designed our  nine homes to blend in.

The great benefit of purchasing a new home in a popular old neighborhood like this one is that it’s an opportunity for long-time neighborhood residents to move into a new home that better addresses their changing needs without having to move away from the friendships or nearby conveniences like those found at the nearby Reston Town Center.

There is only one, final five-bedroom home for immediate delivery on nearly an acre of land at Shaker Knolls.  It’s a spectacular,  fully customized, 7200 sq. ft. residence with 3-car garage, priced at $1,399,900.  And when it’s gone so will the opportunity to own new in this beautiful old neighborhood.

HERNDON/RESTON — After more than eight decades building homes in northern Virginia we’re not at all embarrassed to admit we’re still learning what home buyers want.  But we pretty much know for sure what they don’t want – to be hurried.

The fact is,  though, once this Augusta model (lot #9) at Shaker Knolls is sold, only one more family will be able to own here.   And if you’ve been house-hunting in the Herndon/Reston area, you know exactly how limited  your choices are –  especially for a luxury home that already includes built-in custom-quality features.

This magnificent 5-bedroom, 5-1/2-bath residence with side-entry, three car garage  is more than just large.   It starts with a prized location just off Shaker Woods Rd. on a private court in one of the area’s finest neighborhoods.  Architecturally, it’s a timeless design with handsome brick front. And the interior easily qualifies  for adjectives like grand.  From the 10′-high ceilings throughout the main level to the large family room with rustic stone-faced, floor-to-ceiling fireplace.  From the added convenience  of both front and rear  Oak staircases to the warm luxury of  a 205 sq. foot morning room bathed in natural light, this immediate delivery home makes a pretty compelling argument for visiting Shaker Knolls “quickly”, even if its us the builder, urging you.
