About this home
Open Saturday and Sunday 1-4 - Known as the Fuller-Schuerman House, this remarkable Fairfax City residence stands among the area's most iconic historic properties, set facing Pickett Road in the sought-after Pickett’s Reserve neighborhood. Originally constructed in the 1850s, the grand columned Colonial has been thoughtfully restored and renovated to preserve its architectural character while incorporating the modern systems and amenities expected for contemporary living. The gracious home boasts three floors, plus a full lower level.
A stately two-story columned front porch introduces an interior defined by exceptional scale and craftsmanship. The main level features soaring 11-foot ceilings, extensive moldings, hardwood floors, period hardware, and gracious formal spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday living. A grand central staircase serves as the home's architectural centerpiece, while the formal dining room and expansive living room each feature fireplaces that reflect the property's historic pedigree. Flanking the main living spaces are two versatile bonus rooms, ideal as a private library or home office and a comfortable sitting room overlooking the pool and outdoor entertaining areas. Period door hinges, vent covers and light switches add to the historic texture of the home.
Beyond the formal rooms, the spacious renovated kitchen offers generous table space, a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, granite counter tops, and abundant room for gathering. Throughout the home, historic details have been carefully preserved while substantial updates ensure comfort and convenience, including radiator heat and two forced-air HVAC systems. Outside, extensive landscaping surrounds the property, creating a private setting highlighted by an in-ground pool with a chld-proof, motorized cover, a large hot-tub an expansive surrounding patio and mature landscaping.
