Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again" Manderley lives in Oak Hill VA...estate homes just minutes to Reston Town Center

""Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again" Now, there's a famous opening line from years past "cinema" days.

Did you ever see that Alfred Hitchcock 1940's movie thriller Rebecca? It starred Laurence Olivier as Maxim de Winter and Joan Fontaine and won 2 academy awards. No, well there is this very cool estate named Manderley in the story that was made so popular by the book of the same name that it became the most popular house name in England for quite a while.

If you don't have time to live in England right now and would prefer to stay in the Oak Hill/Herndon area, you can still live in Manderley.

You will have to watch carefully since there are only a handful of these estate homes on a wooded acre just 10 minutes from the employment mecca of Reston. One comes on the market rarely, but they are worth the wait.

Tom: Do you have any pictures of Manderley that you could place in this post?

Steve: Sure Tom. Look all around and above you. Most of these homes have 4-6 bedrooms and 3-4 full baths. No need to go on vacation.... between the beauty of the Manderley setting and the plethora of entertainment that can be found in Reston...people would be flocking to your place in search of the perfect bed and breakfast. Forget that. Turn them away. It's your place.

Conveniently located just off the confusing area where West Ox road becomes Lawyers road, then Reston Parkway, you can get any where from here. Everyday shopping and resturantant needs can be met a couple miles either right or left of Manderley's entrance at the Franklin Farm shopping center to the left or Fox Mill shopping center to the right.

Manderley is served by Crossfield Elementary, Carson Middle and Oakton High schools.

Please remember that school boundaries can change. Always check with the school district to verify. For Fairfax County Schools go to this web page: http://boundary.fcps.edu/boundary/
