102 Thistle Way NE Leesburg, VA 20176

There’s something magnetic about a house that gets it right—something in the symmetry of the porch columns, the rhythm of the shutters, and the quiet way it sits, confident and timeless. This Colonial in Leesburg’s beloved Exeter community isn’t trying to stand out. It simply does. From the street, it’s the wide front porch that grabs you first. Morning coffee here feels like a ritual worth keeping, and on summer evenings, there’s room for actual conversations—not just a wave—from the rocking chairs. This is the kind of porch that makes neighbors linger. And then there’s the bonus space you didn’t know you needed but won’t want to live without: a large, all-weather screened porch that feels like an extra living room—minus the bugs. Whether you’re hosting a casual dinner or sinking into a book with a glass of wine, it’s the kind of upgrade that quickly becomes essential. Step inside and the sense of space is immediate. With over 3,100 finished square feet, including a finished lower level, this home knows how to stretch out. The main level is designed for flow, with a granite-topped kitchen that opens into the dining area and continues into a bright, welcoming living room. Everything is freshly painted, making the whole space feel crisp and move-in ready. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers just the right amount of retreat, with a private en-suite bath and windows that catch the morning light. Three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath give everyone room to breathe, spread out, and relax. On the lower level, a fifth bedroom or den gives you even more flexibility—ideal for overnight guests, a home office, or your next Netflix binge setup. Outside, the yard is beautifully landscaped and thoughtfully designed—not just pretty, but genuinely useful. There’s space to entertain, garden, and play, and enough privacy to feel like your own quiet pocket of the world. This home isn’t just cared for—it’s being continuously improved. A brand-new roof and all-new siding are on the way, bringing peace of mind (and curb appeal) for years to come. And then there’s the location. Not “close to” Leesburg—in Leesburg. Downtown’s shops and dining are just minutes away. Across the street, the Ida Lee Rec Center and AV Symington Aquatic Center offer indoor gyms, classes, and a full water park. Want to feel plugged into the community? All of Leesburg’s iconic parades begin right outside the Exeter neighborhood. It’s the kind of place where you don’t just watch the charm—you live inside it. And when you want to roam farther, the HOA amenities keep it all easy: community pool, tennis courts, tot lots, trails for biking or jogging. Everything’s here, but nothing’s overbearing. Some homes check boxes. This one invites you to stay awhile—and imagine what comes next.
