6420 SLEEPY RIDGE ROAD

1955--Ahhh, that was a year! The first McDonald's restaurant opened in Illinois, Disneyland debuted in Anaheim, and the Mickey Mouse Club first appeared on TV. Seven Corners Shopping Center was being built as the largest regional shopping center in Virginia and opened in 1956. The Sleepy Hollow neighborhood traces its land history back to Thomas, the sixth Lord Fairfax. In the 1950s, residential developers took an interest in the area and started constructing homes on large lots. 6420 Sleepy Ridge Road was one of those homes built in 1955, and the current family bought it in 1956! It sits on a 26,631 sq. ft. lot in an area of million dollar+ homes. It still has the original kitchen and familiar knotty pine paneling in the recreation room. Two wood-burning fireplaces and plaster walls, too! But, as time wore on, it needed updating. The visionary buyers will bring this home into the 21st Century or tear it down and build a new home to last just as long as the original! Some items are for sale. Shown by appointment only.
