***Catered Open House Friday 5/23 from 5-7PM***Saturday 3-5PM*** Sunday11am-1pm***Step inside and you’ll feel it right away—that easy, light-filled calm that mid-century modern fans chase but rarely find. Walls of glass pull the woods inside, hardwood floors glow the color of warm honey, and the clean angles of Charles Goodman’s “Carriage” model make every room feel uncluttered and effortless. Life here isn’t about square-foot math; it’s about that morning sun spilling across the living room while the kettle whistles, or the quiet hum of cicadas when you crack the balcony door on a July evening.

Long before “live-work-play” became a buzz phrase, Reston’s founder Robert Simon set out in the 1960s to prove a town could do all three at once—and he hired Goodman, the region’s modernist maestro, to help make it real. Goodman answered with Hickory Cluster: townhomes that float among the trees, linked by footpaths instead of front lawns, privacy instead of pretension. Today, the plan still works exactly the way Simon and Goodman drew it up—you can leave the car in the carport, wander down the trail to Lake Anne for a latte, and be home before the foam cools.

Inside, the main level stretches from a sleek, updated kitchen straight through to a wall of sliders framing the woods. The dining area steps right out to a fenced patio—perfect for grilling or just letting the dog snooze while you read. Upstairs, three bright bedrooms share a crisply renovated bath; pull open the original Goodman closets and you’ll see practical built-ins that make dressers optional. Downstairs, a flexible lower level handles movie nights, a Peloton, or that work-from-home setup you’ve always wanted to separate from the living space.

Out back, the only “neighbor” is the mature forest that rolls down toward Lake Anne’s shoreline. Lace up and hit the network of wooded paths that thread through Reston—they connect to the W&OD trail, dozens of pocket parks, and, if you keep going, the Potomac River. Craving city energy instead? The Wiehle-Reston Metro stop and the Dulles Toll Road are minutes away, putting Tysons, D.C., and Dulles International all within a short ride.

Goodman designed homes to make everyday moments feel better, and this one delivers: light where you want it, shelter where you need it, and nature at every turn. If you’ve been waiting for a mid-century modern original that still lives beautifully in 2025, this is the key you’ve been looking for.
