Welcome to this famous Historic Herndon home that made its Hollywood debut in the movie Contact! This stately home is full of charm and historical details, offering over 2700 square-feet, it includes an inviting, grand foyer; a beautiful formal dining room; a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace; restored original hardwood floors; a stunning gourmet kitchen; and a newly appointed family room. Offering three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this home was originally built in 1926 and has been methodically and carefully updated throughout. Upstairs you’ll find a spacious master retreat with a spa-like master bathroom including a steam shower and a large, walk-in close; off the light-filled upper hallway, there are two additional spacious bedrooms, an updated secondary bathroom, and a most-desired upper-level laundry area. The recently updated family room featuring multi-glide, California-style sliding doors leads to a stunning patio and backyard. Located on one of the largest lots on Grace St, this home offers an expansive .62 acre private lot (perfect for a future pool or secondary structure for the in-laws!), gorgeous landscaping with an irrigation system & landscape lighting, 2-car garage, and much more. The location of this home is truly unparalleled: situated on a tree-lined, picturesque street yet only steps away from the W&OD Trail, Downtown Herndon's restaurants/ bars, the library, Friday night outdoor concerts, bread and tea shops, and the forthcoming Herndon Biergarten and downtown redevelopment by Comstock! With a Walk Score of 85, it is a walker's and cyclist's paradise!
