11710 Amkin Drive

Description

Welcome to 11710 Amkin Drive, located in the lush Plantation Hills subdivision of historic Clifton, Virginia. Known for its wooded surroundings, spacious homesites, and peaceful, semi-rural setting, the neighborhood reflects the characteristic charm that Clifton is known for: a blend of refined suburban living with a distinctly countryside feel. When you enter Amkin Drive, you leave the world behind and will find yourself in a neighborhood of beautiful landscaping and stunning homes. Plantation Hills also has easy access to Clifton Road, Route 29, the Fairfax County Parkway, and Route 66. This makes the neighborhood a strong option for commuters heading toward Fairfax, Tysons, Washington, D.C., or Fort Belvoir.Despite its convenient location, the community maintains a sense of retreat due to Clifton’s protected parkland, equestrian areas, and low commercial density. If you are looking for a secluded private home in Fairfax County with plenty of space but convenient to all of the county's amenities, this is your next home!Your next home is a custom built 4 bedroom 3.5 bath Williamsburg Colonial, built in 1988 with over 3500 total square feet.
