Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this five-bedroom, four-bath home is a welcoming comfort, with lots of room to live, work and play. It also includes a ramp for accessibility to one-level living, as an option. The living areas on the main level flow beautifully with views from front to back. Hardwood floors run through the living room, dining room, kitchen, and bedrooms. The front living room has a large brick wood-burning fireplace and mantel, plus three windows that look out over the neighborhood. The kitchen, with cabinets galore and ample quartz counter space highlighted with convenient pendant lighting, is well-equipped with a five-burner ceramic cooktop stove, large French-door refrigerator, GE Café microwave, and Bosch dishwasher. A skylight pours natural light over the dining room table, and the space opens up to a comfortable family room with a wall of large windows that bring the fresh outdoors in. There’s an accessible ramp and entrance here, offering one-level living with access to the oversized deck as well. A separate en suite bedroom and full bath are located off the family room, with lovely built-ins and large closets. Down a long hallway off the front living room, the bedroom wing comprises four bedrooms, full bath and linen closet. The master also has a full bath with a jetted soaker tub. The bedrooms all have large closets with extra storage in transoms. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a sprawling space for a playroom or second family room, and the wood-burning stove is sure to keep things cozy. An oversized laundry room is located down here, as well as a large workbench, separate work/hobby/storage room and tons of storage racks and shelving. Efficient radiant heating runs throughout the house, which also features a brand-new roof. At just over a half-acre, the lot for this wonderful home offers tons of room for kids and dogs to romp and play. Gardeners have an open palette to dig deep where the owner kept a beautiful organic vegetable garden, and there is a sizable shed for all needed tools and accessories. An oversized deck offers al fresco living and dining under the auspices of a thriving sweet gum tree. The deck is also accessible by a ramp from the driveway that can be removed if desired, and the original deck rails can be easily restored. This home is located in the sought-after Hollin Meadows Elementary School district and is within walking distance to parks and Sherwood Hall Library, where a thriving Farmers’ Market is held on Wednesdays, April through December. Charming Old Town Alexandria and eclectic Del Ray are nearby, as well as Reagan National Airport and all the amenities of Washington, DC.
