Bright and welcoming, this gracious three/four bedroom home offers plenty of space for all of the living, working and playing you do every day. The private corner entryway on this end unit “city” home enjoys maximum sunshine with its southeastern exposure. Step inside the large foyer to an elegant staircase that’s anchored by a welcoming nook for you to make your own. The entire main level of this home has a seamless flow with hardwood flooring and spacious entries from room to room. To the right, an elegant living room features beautiful crown molding and oversized windows topped with transoms for plenty of natural light. Continue into the dining room where thoughtful wainscotting panels and dentil molding highlight a large bay window. Wind your way into the kitchen where all new stainless appliances, including a double oven and five-burner gas cooktop, share the space with rich granite counters and warm wooden cabinets. There’s room for a windowside eat-in table across from the sit-up breakfast bar. The kitchen opens to a comfortable family room with a gas fireplace with marble-surround and stately mantel. The dentil molding is continued here with a wall of built-ins ready for your personal touch. Step right outside to the private deck, slate patios and very private fully fenced back yard. There’s a quiet office on this level, as well as a powder room, laundry room, and direct access to the oversized two-car garage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom, complete with a large walk-in closet, offers an elegant escape, topped with a recessed tray ceiling and fan. Spacious and filled with natural light, the en suite bathroom has an extra wide vanity with two sinks, and a separate jetted tub and shower. There are two more bedrooms on this newly-carpeted level, as well as a full bath and an open view to the foyer below. The lower level of this home is all about recreation! With its brand-new wall-to-wall carpeting, the enormous rec room, with handy wet bar, has loads of options for your favorite endeavors. There’s also a bonus/bunk room with a large walk-in closet down here and another full bath. French doors open to the exterior stairs leading to the back yard and there is a large storage/utility room here as well. Located along a cul-de-sac in the Overlook neighborhood of Alexandria, this property offers a community pool and clubhouse, tennis court, four playgrounds, and miles of trail paths shared with Bren Mar Park, where a Farmers Market takes place on Sunday mornings. Access to I-95, 395 and 495 is nearby, and it’s a quick and easy drive to the Pentagon and Washington DC, not to mention shopping, public transportation, and plenty of entertainment options.
