***Live Differently isn't just the Town of Herndon's motto—it's exactly what you'll do in this spectacular Downtown Herndon home. With more than 6,300 square feet of beautifully finished living space, this home is packed with details that are getting harder and harder to find. And when you look at the price per square foot, it's one of the best values you'll find anywhere around. You simply won't find this much house, this level of quality, and this location at a better price. The feature everyone talks about? Every oversized bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom...and every bathroom has its own linen closet. Seriously. It's one of those things you didn't know you needed until you have it. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice the sand-in-place real hardwood floors throughout most of the main level, tall ceilings, a sweeping staircase with gorgeous metal balusters, and paint colors that just feel right. The living room could easily become your favorite work-from-home spot with its oversized windows, elegant moldings, and wood-burning fireplace. The dining room has plenty of space for all your furniture—and all your favorite people. The kitchen is a dream if you actually like to cook (or just like having a beautiful kitchen). There's an incredible amount of prep space, 48 cabinets and drawers, under-cabinet lighting, double wall ovens, JennAir cooktop with vent, island beverage fridge, and a huge walk-in pantry. There's even a butler's pantry that's already pre-plumbed for a sink, plus room for a big breakfast table where everyone naturally gathers. Just off the kitchen is an enormous family room with more oversized windows, brand-new carpet, and a second wood-burning fireplace. Whether it's football on Sunday, movie night, or curling up with a good book, this is the room everyone will want to be in. And I still haven't found a mudroom/laundry room bigger than this one. There's tons of space, a utility sink, and yes—the Samsung washer and dryer convey. Upstairs is where this house really shines. Four generously sized bedrooms. Four private bathrooms. No sharing. The primary suite feels like a true retreat with its 10-foot tray ceiling, ambient lighting, two large walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath featuring separate vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower with dual shower heads and a built-in bench. Need even more space? The finished lower level adds another 1,800+ square feet, complete with a kitchenette featuring granite countertops and a full-size refrigerator. Game room, guest suite, home gym, media room...whatever you need, there's room for it. Outside, the home has incredible curb appeal with classic architecture, beautiful landscaping, HardiePlank siding on all four sides, a brick water table, and a large driveway. Then there's the location. Living in Downtown Herndon is what makes this home truly special. You're just two blocks from Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, Aslin, Izzi Pizza, Sully's Pour House, The Breeze, and so much more. Wednesday night rides with Green Lizard Cycling. Tuesday and Friday concerts on the Town Green all summer. The Thursday Farmers Market. Homecoming. The Herndon Homes Tour. WinterMarkt. It's the kind of town where there's always something going on and it's easy to feel part of the community. Living here really is different...and once you do, you'll understand why people love calling Downtown Herndon home. *many photos have been virtually staged*

Living in Herndon

Herndon blends a historic small-town downtown with some of the most convenient neighborhoods in Northern Virginia. Herndon is really two places in one: the historic Town of Herndon, home to about 24,700 people, and a much larger area of Fairfax County that shares the Herndon mailing address, including popular neighborhoods like Franklin Farm and Fox Mill Estates. With two nearby Silver Line Metro stations, Dulles Airport minutes away and free summer concerts on the Town Green, it is easy to see why buyers keep Herndon at the top of their list.

Why People Love Herndon

Herndon grew up around the railroad, and its old train line is now the W&OD Trail, a paved path for walking, running and biking that runs right through downtown. The historic depot is now the Herndon Depot Museum, next to a restored caboose. Downtown also has local restaurants, the Herndon ArtSpace gallery and NextStop Theatre.

The calendar stays full all year. Friday Night Live brings free concerts to the Town Green on summer Friday nights and celebrated its 500th show in 2026. There is a farmers market from spring through fall, Fourth of July fireworks and a Labor Day Jazz Festival.

Homes and the Market

Herndon has something for almost every buyer: older homes on tree-lined streets near downtown, townhome communities, newer condos near the Metro, and established single-family neighborhoods just outside town limits.

Market snapshot, November 10, 2026: About 137 homes with a Herndon address are for sale:

45 single-family homes, averaging about $867,000
56 townhomes, from about $400,000 to $927,000
36 condos, from about $245,000 to $575,000

Getting Around

Herndon is one of the easiest places in the region to commute from. The Silver Line's Herndon station opened in 2022, and the Innovation Center station is just to the west, so you can ride Metro to Reston, Tysons and Washington, DC. By car, the Dulles Toll Road, Route 28 and the Fairfax County Parkway are all close, and Dulles International Airport is only a few minutes away.

Schools

Herndon is served by Fairfax County Public Schools. Inside the Town of Herndon, students attend Clearview, Dranesville, Herndon or Hutchison Elementary, Herndon Middle and Herndon High.

Many neighborhoods with a Herndon mailing address are outside town limits and go to other schools, such as Chantilly, Oakton or South Lakes High. Some of these areas move to the new Skyview High in fall 2027. See Schools by Neighborhood for the areas we cover.

School assignments depend on the exact address, so always confirm with the FCPS Boundary Locator.

Things to Do

What Clients Say

"Cristina Dougherty did an amazing job as our real estate agent in Herndon. She was personable from the very beginning, we felt so comfortable talking to her with any questions we had. It was clear that she had been in the real estate business for many years, she was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the process. She knew our area and our schools so well as she lives close by. Cristina was able to advise us on the 4 bids we received. It was not about taking the highest bid, but instead the overall most qualified buyer that will go to closing. She loves her job and it shows. I highly recommend Cristina as your agent when you're ready to sell your house!"
