What does a classic Burke, Virginia colonial in the Lake Braddock school pyramid look like inside? Our newest Team DDA home tour takes you through a four bedroom, two and a half bath home with hardwood floors, a renovated primary bathroom, a one car garage, flexible living spaces, and a backyard that quickly becomes the star of the video. The home sits on a street with a cul de sac and offers convenient access to shopping, restaurants, commuter options, and outdoor recreation around Lake Braddock.

This is one of those homes where the individual features are nice.
But the way everything works together is what makes the tour worth watching.
Living Near Lake Braddock in Burke
The video begins with Trish and Nicole talking about the location.
The neighborhood is close to Lake Braddock, where residents can enjoy trails, fishing, kayaking, walking, and time outdoors.
There are also plenty of everyday conveniences nearby.
Shopping and restaurants are close, along with Target, Walmart, H Mart, VRE access, buses toward the Pentagon, Fairfax County Parkway, I 495, and I 66.
That combination is part of what continues to make Burke appealing to buyers who want a suburban neighborhood without feeling disconnected from the rest of Northern Virginia.

A Traditional Colonial With a Fresh Feel
Once inside, one of the first things they notice is the hardwood flooring.
The floors continue throughout the main level, giving the home a more cohesive feel.
Fresh paint and updated lighting also help brighten the interior without removing the traditional character of the house.
The front room offers flexibility too.
It could remain an additional living area or become a home office.
With windows on two walls, it gets plenty of natural light.
The Kitchen Has More Character Than You Might Expect
The kitchen includes 42 inch cabinetry, real wood construction, a gas stove, generous storage, and a large window looking toward the backyard.
The finishes are not brand new, but Trish and Nicole point out the quality and how well the space has been maintained.
There is also access to the unfinished lower level.
We are not going to show you everything down there here.
That is exactly what the full video is for.
The Family Room Feels Warm and Bright
The family room is one of the most inviting spaces on the main level.
There are decorative wood beams, a brick fireplace, hardwood floors, and extra windows that bring in plenty of natural light.
Those additional windows make a noticeable difference and help the room feel brighter and more current.
And then Trish and Nicole head outside.
That is where things get fun.
The Backyard Might Be the Best Part
The backyard is one of the biggest reasons to watch this tour.
There is a wooden deck, grilling space, a mostly level grassy area, mature landscaping, and a large tree that immediately gets Trish and Nicole thinking about how a family could use the yard.
Playground?
Gardening?
Entertaining?
A piñata tree?
Apparently all of the above.
There is also a shed.
Technically, yes, you could use it for lawn equipment.
But Trish and Nicole have much more interesting ideas.
🎨 Kids craft studio
🏠 Playhouse
🧸 Secret clubhouse
🌿 Garden space
Or maybe you can be practical and put the lawn mower in there.
We will not judge.

The Primary Suite Has Been Updated
Upstairs, the primary bedroom is bright and spacious with new carpet and plenty of natural light.
But the bathroom gets most of the attention.
The renovated primary bath includes a double vanity, upgraded tile, a very large shower with multiple shower fixtures, and thoughtful storage.
There is also a large walk in closet plus additional closet space.
Trish and Nicole spend some time deciding exactly who would get which closet.
You can probably guess how that conversation goes.
Four Bedrooms Give You Plenty of Options
The home has four bedrooms total.
One of the secondary bedrooms is currently shown as an office, but there is enough space to comfortably use it as a bedroom.
The remaining rooms also benefit from upgraded overhead lighting and good natural light.
That flexibility makes the home work for a variety of needs.
Home office.
Guest room.
Kids rooms.
Hobby space.
Or some combination of all four.
