23603 Golden Embers Sq, Ashburn, VA, 20148

This Might Be the Home of the Year Step inside and see what everyone’s talking about. This exceptionally upgraded Fairwinds model delivers comfort, style, and ease from the moment you enter. With 3,920 finished square feet, the layout simply works, across every level. Hardwood floors span the main level, and custom plantation shutters on every window add polish and easy light control. Fresh, neutral tones keep everything bright from morning through golden hour. Two spacious bedrooms on the main level make everyday living feel effortless, including a primary suite designed for true R&R with a spa-inspired bath and a professionally installed custom closet system. The gourmet kitchen is equal parts elegant and efficient. A huge quartz island anchors the space, paired with granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, designer lighting, and smart stainless appliances, including a newer refrigerator and high-tech ovens that take the pressure off hosting. The bespoke scullery, complete with an extra-deep sink, keeps dishwashing, meal prep, and everyday messes out of sight. It’s the bonus space you didn’t know you needed, perfect for staging, serving, and staying organized. From the kitchen, the living and dining areas feel cozy and elevated with built-in shelving, a gas fireplace, and surround sound. Then you reach the four-season patio, the true showstopper. This sun-drenched retreat is made for year-round relaxing, whether snow is falling or cicadas are chirping, and it’s hardwired for a TV so game days and movie nights can move outside. Out back, the vibe continues with updated hardscaping, custom privacy fencing, and garden beds planted with perennials that bloom from spring through fall, plus room for containers and annuals when you want extra color. It’s a backyard that feels intentional, finished, and flexible. Upstairs is where this Fairwinds really stands out. Enjoy an extended loft sitting area, two upstairs bedrooms, a full bath, and an extra-large seasonal closet that can function as a dressing room, serious storage, a hobby space, or whatever your lifestyle calls for. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds even more possibility with high-end carpeting, a full bath, a rec area, and a wet-bar rough-in already in place, ready to evolve with your needs. You’ll also appreciate the behind-the-scenes upgrades: whole-house humidifier, EV charging station, central vacuum with garage outlet, and permanent HVAC air filters. For peace of mind, the roof, gutters, and porch metal roof were replaced in 2024. Best of all, you’re a short walk to Birchwood at Brambleton’s 20,000-square-foot clubhouse, close enough to feel like a daily perk without being right on top of it. The home also sits on a unique street that isn’t a cross street, offering a quieter feel and extra guest parking. Birchwood’s 55+ lifestyle includes indoor and outdoor pools, fitness spaces, pickleball and bocce, a golf simulator, art and hobby rooms, a demonstration kitchen, greenhouse, fishing pier, and scenic trails. Brambleton Town Center and the Ashburn Metrorail Station are nearby for dining, shopping, and easy access toward Dulles and DC. From top to bottom, indoors and out, this isn’t just a home that’s been upgraded. It’s a home that upgrades your whole day.
