Please enjoy this 4 bedroom, 3 full and 1 half bathroom, 4065 finished sq.ft. city home in the sought-after Overlook community in Alexandria, Virginia. This house presents a to enjoy a rare combination of a beautifully upgraded home located inside the Beltway backing to a County Park for privacy and green views. A curved flagstone walk takes you through the front door to a 2-story foyer with a 9-light candelabra as the focal point. The entry leads to the open Main Level, where visual drama is provided by the coffered ceiling and espresso finish floors, accented by the natural light flooding this space from the wall of windows across the entire space. The kitchen is fully remodeled, with high-end materials and attention to details throughout. Granite counters, marble tile backsplash, solid wood cabinets with pull-out drawers and other productivity features, Samsung & GE Profile stainless appliances (including 3-way steam wall oven), and programmable under cabinet and cove lighting.

From the deck, you can enjoy sunset and green views of Bren Mar Park, with an awning to provide shade as desired. The large flagstone patio is accessed via stairs. The open space and circular flow of the Main Level, with access to the deck and the patio below, provide great entertaining options, with enough space to make a large gathering feel intimate. The Dining Room provides further visual appeal by a bronze candelabra, crown molding with dentil detail, and wainscot trim. The Main Level also has an upgraded half bath. While the open Main Level and kitchen can be shown off to family and friends, the Owner's Suite is an equally impressive space that the new homeowner can claim as their own private retreat. The bedroom is accessed through double doors, with a view of the 2-story foyer and antique bronze balusters on the overlook railing. The bedroom is sized to make a King bed look small. A separate seating area has a gas fireplace, flanking built-in bookcases, and a brushed gold mini-candelabra. Plantation shutters and an awning allow the owner to control the light levels in this space. The fully renovated bathroom is simply stunning, with a custom vanity and natural Quartzite top, an oversized shower enclosure with marble tile, spa-level shower options, and frameless glass door. The soaking tub has a Quartzite deck. Polished chrome fixtures and French Provincial fabric on the window valances add luxurious touches to this space. The walk-in closet in the Owner's Suite is large enough to feel like its own room. The Bedroom Level has the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, each sized for a Queen bed, and the 2nd full bathroom. The Lower Level is another large open space with separate areas for entertaining. This level has a walk-out to the large flagstone patio with extensive hardscape and plantings chosen for both privacy and ease of care. The windows on this level have Plantation shutters. The Lower Level has a bump-out area that can also be used as an office, with upper and lower cabinets and black granite top. This level also has a granite-topped wet bar with upper cabinets. The 4th bedroom is located on this level, with space to accommodate a Queen bed. The full bath is accessible either directly from the bedroom or the Lower Level open space. The unfinished mechanical room on the Lower Level provides a large area for storage (286 sq.ft), with double doors for ease of access. The laundry is located just inside the garage on the Main Level, with a Whirlpool washer and dryer (installed in 2019), utility sink, and a closet and overhead cabinets for storage.
