You will be pleasantly surprised by the size of this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home as the adorable curb-appeal is a bit deceiving. The large flat front yard welcomes you to your private retreat nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac. With over 3,000 square feet this home has plenty of space to spread out, to set up designated work from home or home-schooling areas, and ample outdoor areas for social distancing. Think charming cottage faade meets traditional colonial floor plan. The main level boasts a spacious living room, formal dining room, family room with a wood-burning fireplace, and hardwood floors throughout the living areas. The kitchen has just been freshly painted and refreshed with white subway tile backsplash & soft gray painted wood cabinets. The kitchen also features an island for additional counter space with storage below, a walk-in pantry, beautiful Quartz counters, tile flooring, and stainless-steel appliances. The hardwood floors continue upstairs where you will find some clever updates made to create an amazing owners suite featuring expanded closet space, a sitting area (currently an exercise area), and lovely bathroom with dual-vanities, a walk-in glass-enclosed shower, and claw-foot tub with chandelier. The two additional bedrooms on this level are generously sized and share a full-bath. The lower level features a large rec room / play room with an exposed brick wall and is open to a built-in bar area, adjoining laundry room with plenty of room for folding tables, hanging racks, storage, and the possibility of a 4th bedroom / guestroom with full bath. The surprise of the lower level is a secluded workshop, which has been wired to accommodate use of power tools and additional lighting for working on projects. The back patio and deck can be accessed from the lower-level walk-out or from the spiral staircase from the carport, which is just off the kitchen. This outdoor space provides more than 1,500 square feet of additional living space and is canopied by mature trees and foliage offering a treehouse feel and private sanctuary for outdoor dining, entertainment, outdoor movie nights, and relaxation! It feels hard to believe from this vantage point that you are so close to the city and major thoroughfares. You'll have easy access to 95/495/395, Old Town Alexandria, Washington DC, Kingstowne Shopping Center, Springfield Town Center, Fort Belvoir, the Pentagon, and less than five miles to three metro stations (Huntington is approx. 4 miles, Van Dorn is approx. 3 miles, and Springfield is approx. 4.5 miles).
