About this home
Rarely available in Five Forks, this Gail Crabtree-designed home offers a distinctive blend of privacy, natural beauty, meaningful updates, and everyday comfort within a quiet seven-home enclave surrounded by preserved common land and wooded walking trails.
Set on approximately 1.3 acres and paired with a 1/7th ownership interest in more than 30 acres of neighborhood common land, 3217 Five Forks offers a setting that feels both private and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape.
3217 Five Forks makes an impression long before you reach the front door, with a peaceful pond near the entrance introducing the calm and natural character that defines the property. Well-placed Adirondack chairs create the perfect place to slow down and enjoy the setting, while the sizable front porch -- complete with room for rocking chairs and a porch swing -- adds to the home's warm and inviting feel.
A large foyer entry creates an inviting arrival experience inside the home, while a flexible sitting room just off the entrance provides the perfect space for a home office, library, music room, or quieter secondary living area. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, and a double-sided fireplace anchors the main level while creating warmth and flow between the living spaces.
Toward the back of the home, the kitchen, dining, and family spaces are thoughtfully arranged to maximize natural light and connection to the outdoor living areas, with large rear-facing windows overlooking the pool and surrounding landscape. The kitchen features striking Egyptian Gold granite countertops and integrates naturally into the surrounding gathering spaces, creating a layout that feels both open and functional for large gatherings or quiet evenings at home.
The primary suite offers a true private sanctuary, featuring a beautifully renovated bathroom with heated tile floors, dual vanities, a large walk-in shower, and a freestanding soaking tub positioned beneath a picture window overlooking the backyard. An adjoining flex space adds even more versatility and could function beautifully as a sitting room, office, reading nook, nursery, or studio. Three additional upstairs bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, hobbies, or work-from-home needs.
Outdoor living is a major highlight. The fully fenced backyard was thoughtfully designed to balance entertaining, relaxation, and usable green space, featuring a pool, hot tub with waterfall feature, poolside gazebo, large composite deck, and wooded backdrop that creates a peaceful getaway-like setting without sacrificing yard space. Direct access to walking trails and preserved neighborhood common land further enhances the home's retreat-like setting.
Additional features include a two-car garage, abundant attic storage, a conditioned storage room ideal for art or temperature-sensitive items, irrigation system, and a roof installed approximately two years ago.
With its rare combination of privacy, preserved natural surroundings, outdoor living, meaningful updates, and shared ownership in an intentionally low-density neighborhood setting, 3217 Five Forks is more than a home -- it is a peaceful and hard-to-replicate lifestyle property in one of the area's most unique settings....
