OFFERS DUE SUNDAY 8/1 at 6pm. It’s the middle of summer, you may be in the middle of vacation living your best life… but then you check your favorite home search app and BOOM. There’s the perfect house, it just hit the market and there’s an open house this weekend. Suddenly you can’t WAIT to get back to Alexandria and tour your (hopefully) next home. This house has everything you were looking for… A CUL-DE-SAC location, and amazzzzzing yard with a patio and with enough room for a trampoline AND firepit, as well as plenty of space to spread out in over 2 living areas, 5 bedrooms (3 on the upper level) and 3 full baths. The living spaces are on their own level, with an open floor plan for living and dining and a very spacious and updated kitchen featuring rich chocolate hued cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and an expanded pantry. Don’t forget the wood burning fireplace in the living room - I know you can’t wait for cooler weather to cozy up with a good book next to a crackling fire. Walkout the garden of your dreams right from the kitchen. Hate maintenance? Well you won't have to worry about that too much, because this home is impeccably maintained and has plenty of updates too including: newer windows, water heater and HVAC as well as added insulation. Hello lower utility bills! Low-maintenance and beautiful Brazilian Cherry floors on the main level and durable laminate on the lower level too. Don't worry about cleaning your gutters constantly with the newly installed LeafGuard gutters. Like light? Well, there is plenty of natural light everywhere plus you have a fancy new Restoration Hardware chandelier and recessed lighting in the living area and upper level. If you prefer things on the darker side...I got you. You can easily darken things up a bit with the new cordless cellular blinds throughout the house and the black out cellular blinds in the downstairs TV room and primary bedroom for your Netflix nights and a restful sleep. The basement is a perfect setup, complete with a walkout recreation room (or a spot to make your dream movie room), TWO bedrooms (one for guests, an au pair or in-laws and one for a dedicated office perhaps?) and super-cute and functional laundry area. What's next on your wish list? I bet it's storage. How do custom closets, a sizeable shed and built-in laundry storage sound? Check, check and check. Last but not least, we have easy-peasy metro access (Van Dorn and Huntington) and you're minutes to the Beltway, Kingstowne and Springfield. Vacay is over. Your new home is waiting!
