The Wooded Sanctuary One: A Rare Find in Oakton

As a Northern Virginia native who's called Loudoun County home for 25 years, I recognize exceptional value the moment I see it. When my esteemed colleague Janeen Marconi shared this stunning colonial in Oakton, I knew it deserved to be highlighted.

11008 Devinish Dr, Oakton, VA 22124 | Offered at $1,250,000

1 of 1: Where Natural Beauty Meets Modern Living

Nestled on nearly an acre of wooded splendor, 11008 Devenish Drive isn't just another Oakton listing—it's a masterclass in thoughtful renovation and intelligent design. This isn't simply a house with trees around it; it's a home that honors its natural setting while delivering every modern luxury.

The Investment Perspective

With my 20+ years of financial expertise, here's what makes this property exceptional:

Location Intelligence: Oakton remains one of Northern Virginia's best-kept secrets for value appreciation. You're getting Fairfax County schools, convenient access to Vienna Metro, and that increasingly rare commodity—space and privacy—all without the premium typically commanded by McLean or Great Falls.

The Renovation Factor: This home has been completely reimagined with skylights flooding the kitchen with natural light, pristine hardwood floors throughout, and a finished lower level that adds substantial livable square footage. These aren't cosmetic updates—they're value-adding transformations that would cost significantly more if undertaken after purchase.

Multi-Generational Potential: With its clever layout including a main-level guest bedroom and full bath, plus that spectacular finished basement, this property offers flexibility for extended family, home offices, or rental income potential.

Through a Designer's Eye

My interior design background tells me the current owners understood something crucial: how to honor traditional architecture while creating spaces that feel fresh and contemporary. Those skylights aren't just beautiful—they're strategically placed to eliminate the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours. The built-in shelving provides both storage and architectural interest. The deck positioning captures morning light while maintaining afternoon shade.

The Lifestyle This Property Offers

Imagine hosting Thanksgiving with natural light streaming through those skylights as you prepare dinner. Picture summer evenings on that expansive deck, surrounded by mature trees that provide both privacy and natural cooling. Envision working from home in the lower level office, then stepping outside for a lunch break in your own wooded retreat.

This is the property for families who want their children to experience nature daily while attending top-rated Oakton schools. For professionals who need quick access to Tysons and DC but refuse to sacrifice serenity for convenience. For anyone who understands that in today's market, finding nearly an acre of wooded privacy in Fairfax County is becoming increasingly rare.

Why This Matters Now

Northern Virginia's inventory of homes with genuine land is shrinking. Properties are being subdivided, trees are being cleared, and the character that originally drew us to these neighborhoods is disappearing lot by lot. This home represents something we can't create more of—established trees, generous spacing between neighbors, and the peace that comes from being surrounded by nature.

The Curator's Insight

Janeen Marconi, our Managing Broker at Hunt Country Sotheby's International Realty, has identified something special here. With the global reach of Sotheby's International Realty, this property will capture the attention of buyers seeking that increasingly elusive combination: accessibility and sanctuary.

At an attractive price point for Oakton, with recent comparable sales showing strong appreciation in this neighborhood, the financial fundamentals are compelling. But beyond the numbers, this is a home that offers something money increasingly can't buy in Northern Virginia—space to breathe, room to grow, and a daily connection with nature.
