The home at 2909 Cedarest Road is a custom Colonial set on a 13,072-square-foot lot in the Melville subdivision of Fairfax County.

Five bedrooms and three and a half baths provide flexible room configurations across both floors. Hardwood floors run throughout the interior, and a fireplace anchors the main living area. The 440-square-foot attached two-car garage and a 550-square-foot patio and deck extend the home’s functional footprint considerably.
