Reston, VA 20190 11524 Maple Ridge Road

Step inside and youll feel it right awaythat easy, light-filled calm that mid-century modern fans chase but rarely find. Walls of glass pull the woods inside, hardwood floors glow the color of warm honey, and the clean angles of Charles Goodmans Carriage model make every room feel uncluttered and effortless. Life here isnt about square-foot math; its about that morning sun spilling across the living room while the kettle whistles, or the quiet hum of cicadas when you crack the balcony door on a July evening. Long before live-work-play became a buzz phrase, Restons founder Robert Simon set out in the 1960s to prove a town could do all three at onceand he hired Goodman, the regions modernist maestro, to help make it real. Goodman answered with Hickory Cluster: townhomes that float among the trees, linked by footpaths instead of front lawns, privacy instead of pretension. Today, the plan still works exactly the way Simon and Goodman drew it upyou can leave the car in the carport, wander down the trail to Lake Anne for a latte, and be home before the foam cools. Inside, the main level stretches from a sleek, updated kitchen straight through to a wall of sliders framing the woods. The dining area steps right out to a fenced patioperfect for grilling or just letting the dog snooze while you read. Upstairs, three bright bedrooms share a crisply renovated bath; pull open the original Goodman closets and youll see practical built-ins that make dressers optional. Downstairs, a flexible lower level handles movie nights, a Peloton, or that work-from-home setup youve always wanted to separate from the living space. Out back, the only neighbor is the mature forest that rolls down toward Lake Annes shoreline. Lace up and hit the network of wooded paths that thread through Restonthey connect to the W&OD trail, dozens of pocket parks, and, if you keep going, the Potomac River. Craving city energy instead? The Wiehle-Reston Metro stop and the Dulles Toll Road are minutes away, putting Tysons, D.C., and Dulles International all within a short ride. Goodman designed homes to make everyday moments feel better, and this one delivers: light where you want it, shelter where you need it, and nature at every turn. If youve been waiting for a mid-century modern original that still lives beautifully in 2025, this is the key youve been looking for.
