Southampton Station
Southampton Station is a small-knit community of luxurious single-family homes in Springfield. The majority of the 44 homes were built by Van Metre in 2001 and 2002, with a couple of Botero Homes added in 2008. This community features very spacious homes with dramatic open floors on lots ranging in size from .19 to 1 acre. A sampling of available models includes the Sinclair, Thoreau, Fitzgerald, Eliot, French Georgian, Evesham Federal and Ashmont Southern. Total square footage starts at 4,922 and goes up to 7,138. Many homes back to trees, providing for much desired privacy. Residents can enjoy the use of tennis courts, baseball fields and soccer fields at nearby Hooes Road Park. Fairfax County’s South Run RECenter and Burke Lake Park are just a few minutes away.
