About This Home

As of February 2025

Welcome to 21490 Cedar Dr, an exquisite custom-built brick colonial in the prestigious Richland Acres neighborhood of Sterling, VA. This home sits on a picturesque 1.03-acre lot and offers 7 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and over 5,200 square feet of meticulously upgraded living space that marries elegance with modern functionality. The owners have completely updated the entire home.

You’ll notice the rich, new hardwood flooring that extends throughout the home, complemented by fresh wainscoting and all-new window treatments. The level has been opened up for a more open floor plan. The expansive main level includes a formal dining room, an updated kitchen with new cabinetry, a large pantry, and a suite of modern appliances.

Step outside to your private oasis, complete with an in-ground heated saltwater pool, a pool house with a half-bath, and a surrounding patio for summer gatherings. A whole-home generator, central vacuum system, and solar panels elevate the home’s functionality and efficiency. Recent updates include HVACs in 2017, additional spray insulation for enhanced energy efficiency, and updated window treatments throughout.

With a three-car garage, ample outdoor living spaces, and a prime location near top-rated schools, 21490 Cedar Dr is a rare find—a home where luxury, comfort, and sustainability meet.
