* Subject property listed price vs sold prices of comps.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1955 and maintained by the same family for decades, the home is in functional condition but significantly dated. The kitchen features yellow laminate countertops and older cabinetry that appear to be over 20-30 years old, despite some newer stainless appliances. While the hardwood floors are a plus and one bathroom has been updated, the overall interior finishes and original midcentury systems place it in the 'Fair' category, requiring cosmetic and likely mechanical updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8006, living area = 1411.
Elementary School: Hidden Valley Elementary (9/10).
The inclusion of an additional lower lot provides a rare opportunity for future development, such as an ADU, expansive gardens, or recreational space, significantly increasing long-term value.
Having been owned by the same family since 1955, the home likely requires updates to its systems and finishes to meet the expectations of modern buyers looking for contemporary luxury.
At 1,411 square feet for a $1.325M list price, the interior living space is relatively compact, which may be a deterrent for buyers prioritizing maximum indoor square footage.
Tucked on a quiet lane in Fairfax's Oak Manor neighborhood, 39 Piper Lane is a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-level rancher offering approximately 1,411 sq. ft. of light-filled living space. Owned by the same family since it was built, the home is rich with original midcentury character, beautiful red oak hardwood floors, and generous windows throughout. The family room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and flows into a spacious kitchen and dining area with a peninsula, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and sliding doors opening to the backyard. The primary suite offers excellent scale, wall-to-wall closets, and an updated en suite bath, while two additional bedrooms share a spacious hall bath. Outside, mature landscaping creates a private retreat, while an additional lower lot expands the possibilities for gardens, recreation, or future development/ADU, subject to buyer investigation. A two-car garage adds ample storage, all just minutes from downtown Fairfax, neighborhood schools, trails, and open space.
