10th Street is the place to be - the magical wide street, lined with glimpses into Alexandria living in the 1930's, nestled steps from Belle Haven Country Club, the Potomac River, and the quaint shops and essentials at Belle View. Grab a lunch from Bread & Water Company, and bike or walk down to the river for a picnic. Unless you are feeling more ambitious on an early summer morning and want to take the path all the way to historic Mount Vernon or the Pentagon. Speaking of the Pentagon, this area is sought after for one of the best and most scenic commutes into DC along the GW Parkway. Gives you more time to spend "home" sipping your morning coffee or evening beverage from the deck, overlooking the flowering gardens below and ospreys flying high above. Renovations just completed to make this a modern home with all the classic character and finishes like crystal door knobs and wooden spiral banisters worn from days of sliding down them when dinner is ready. Main Level offers not only elegance, but convenience of two sunny bedrooms and a full bathroom on one side. While all the rooms you need for lounging by the fireplace, working, studying, dining, and watching movie night are on the other side of the grand center hallway. With the stunning kitchen at the heart of the home just waiting to come to life with the sounds and smells of home. Upper level offers an expanded Master Suite, with a bonus walk in closet and stylish bathroom, while two other bedrooms have their own elegant hallway bath. There is even a little knook on the upper landing where you can work or dream by the window. You can use every inch of space for living, when the unfinished basement is clean and bright for your storage and laundry. As if there weren't enough closets sprinkled throughout the home. It's everything you need and want, just waiting for you to move right in. *OPEN SUNDAY 1-4*[$734,900 - Alexandria, VA 22307]
