A Home Worth Stopping For: 26867 Barnsley Place Is Now on the Market in Chantilly
Some homes check boxes. This one creates a feeling.
I've been selling homes across Northern Virginia for over a decade, and the ones that stop you in your tracks have a certain quality that's hard to describe until you're standing in them. 26867 Barnsley Place in Chantilly is one of those homes. Tucked into the established Marbury community on a premium lot that backs to preserved woods on two sides, this is the kind of property that doesn't come up often, and when it does, it doesn't last.
We're hosting open houses this Saturday from 1 to 3 PM and Sunday from 2 to 4 PM, and the Sips and Sweets truck will be on site serving refreshing drinks and popsicles. Come for the house, stay for the popsicles. But come.
The Setting Does Something to You
Before we even talk about the interior, I want you to picture this. You're standing at the back of the house, and instead of looking into your neighbor's yard, you're looking into the woods. Preserved woods on two sides. That seclusion, that quiet, that sense that your home is your actual refuge, is genuinely rare at this price point in Chantilly. Most buyers spend years chasing that feeling in Northern Virginia and never quite find it. It's built into this lot.
The Marbury community itself is exactly what many buyers in the Dulles Technology Corridor are looking for. Quiet and established, without the chaos of newer high-density developments. Easy access to Route 66, Route 50, Route 28, and Dulles International Airport. If you work in tech, work for the federal government, or are a military family navigating PCS orders, the location alone is worth the drive to see this weekend.
A Home Designed for Real Life
The interior is 3,450 square feet across two levels plus a fully finished walkout basement, and it lives even larger than that number suggests. The main level has the kind of flow that makes entertaining feel effortless and everyday life feel calm. Rich hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, recessed lighting, and a gas fireplace anchor the living areas. The dedicated office with French doors is the work-from-home setup people are actually building additions to achieve, and here it's already done.
The detail I keep coming back to is the built-in speaker system wired through the kitchen, office, primary suite, and garage. It's one of those things that sounds like a nice extra until you live with it, and then you can't imagine a home without it. The same goes for the whole-home central vacuum system. These are the features that quietly make a house feel considered.
The remodeled primary suite deserves its own moment. The spa bathroom has a soaking tub positioned under a large window that looks directly into the woods. That's not a staged photo trick. That's the actual daily experience of living here.
The finished walkout basement significantly expands living options, with a private bedroom and full bath that works beautifully as an in-law suite, au pair space, or accommodations for visiting family. A large recreation room and three storage rooms round it out. The oversized three-car side-entry garage adds another layer of everyday practicality that buyers in this market are actively seeking.
The Bones Are Solid
For buyers who've been burned by deferred maintenance on other properties, this one delivers peace of mind. The roof, HVAC, siding, and windows are all approximately nine years old. The water heater was replaced two years ago. The underground sprinkler system handles the landscaping. The major systems are in excellent shape, which means you're moving into this home, not into a project.
Top-rated Loudoun County schools serve the area, and the community's established feel means you're buying into something with roots.
Come See It This Weekend
Open houses are Saturday, June 28th, from 1 to 3 PM and Sunday, June 29th, from 2 to 4 PM. The Sips and Sweets truck will be there both days with cold drinks and popsicles, so bring the family, walk the lot, sit in that primary suite for a minute, and let the house speak for itself.
