Historic Fuller-Schuerman House Listed for Sale in Pickett's Reserve

Welcome to 3430 Preservation Drive, fondly known as the Fuller-Schuerman House; one of the remaining historic properties in Fairfax City, Virginia. Built in 1850 in the Federal style, it stands in grandeur with a timbered Georgian façade, hidden from Pickett Road by beautiful foliage.

This property was once part of a 300-acre land grant from Thomas, 6th Lord of Fairfax, to John Gladdin in 1742. In 1844, Hiram Fuller, founder of the Fairfax County News, acquired the property which the Fuller-Schuerman House was built.
