Some homes offer a view of the water. Here, the water becomes part of daily life. Set along the shoreline of Lake Audubon, this end-unit townhome at 2261 Cedar Cove Court was designed to take full advantage of its setting, with lake views from all three finished levels and outdoor spaces that invite you to slow down and enjoy them. The main level is where everything naturally comes together, with hardwood floors, a comfortable living room anchored by a gas fireplace and stone accent wall, and sliding doors that open to a spacious deck overlooking the lake. It is easy to imagine starting the day here with coffee and quiet water views or hosting friends as the sun begins to set over the water. A spiral staircase leads from the deck down to a stone patio below, where a built-in gas grill and landscaped setting create another place to gather and enjoy the outdoors. The kitchen is open to the living space and positioned to capture the same peaceful lake views, with stainless appliances, a tiled backsplash, generous cabinet and pantry space, and a table area for everyday meals. Just off the foyer, a dining room offers flexibility for more formal gatherings or a main-level office depending on how you live. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, its own fireplace with raised hearth, a walk-in closet, and sliding doors that open to a private balcony overlooking the lake. The primary bath includes dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and ceiling fans share an updated hall bath with thoughtful details including mosaic tile accents, a built-in bench, and a floating vanity that gives the space a fresh, modern feel. The lower level adds even more living space with a large recreation room that can easily adapt to whatever you need; movie nights, a home gym, or a casual gathering space, along with a full bath, laundry, and storage. French doors open directly to the stone patio, making it easy to move between indoor and outdoor spaces while enjoying the lake just beyond. Living here also means enjoying everything that makes Reston such a special place to call home. From the house you can walk or bike along the miles of community trails, paddleboard or kayak on Lake Audubon, or head over to South Lakes Shopping Center for dinner or everyday errands. The home is also minutes from Wegmans, Reston Town Center, Reston Station, and the Wiehle-Reston East Metro, with convenient access to major commuting routes and Dulles Airport just a short drive away. As part of Reston Association, residents enjoy access to an incredible collection of amenities including 15 pools, 55 miles of trails, numerous parks, four lakes, 52 tennis courts, and 18 pickleball courts, along with a full calendar of community events throughout the year such as festivals, concerts, workshops, and social gatherings. Community spaces like the Walker Nature Center, the Lake House at Lake Newport, and other centers throughout Reston offer places for classes, meetings, and neighborhood connections. Over the years the home has also been carefully maintained and thoughtfully improved, including a synthetic roof installed in 2022, new decking and staining, a stone patio with built-in grill and landscaping, renovated upper hall bath, updated appliances including GE Profile dishwasher and refrigerator, a new hot water heater, fresh interior paint, and other improvements that make moving in feel easy. For those who want the calm of lakeside living while still being connected to everything Reston has to offer, this home brings the two together in a way that feels effortless.
