Nestled on a quiet tree-lined street with ample night lighting, this immaculate 4 bedroom 3.5 bathroom brick front luxury town house is perfect for anyone who loves being close to the city but also appreciates the outdoors and a wonderful community. Located in the coveted Governors Grove Subdivision, this Carr model backs to woods and sits in a neighborhood with a warm community feel, friendly neighbors and desirable amenities including a picturesque fish pond, tennis courts, tot lots, dog run and jogging trails. It is a perfect residence for commuters as it is centrally located with easy access to Old Town Alexandria as well as all of the area’s major arteries including the Beltway, I-95, I-395, and the George Washington Parkway. The Huntington Metro is just minutes away and commuting to the Reagan National Airport, the Pentagon, D.O.D. or Fort Belvoir is a breeze. The interior of the home is freshly painted and ready for the discerning buyer who loves open space and a flexible floor plan. Entering the main doorway you are greeted by a welcoming foyer with an attractive light fixture and a convenient wall-mounted coat rack. To the left of the foyer you walk into a stunning formal dining room which can accommodate a large dining room table for easy entertaining. An inviting living room with a fireplace is just off the dining area with multiple seating options or for use as a play room or a work station and a wall of windows providing views to the woods leading to a tiered deck transcending the feeling you are out in nature surrounded by greenery and tall magnificent trees. Within the open floor plan you find a bright kitchen with a spacious pantry with plenty of storage and ample shelving. While the main level provides plenty to keep you inside, the large deck outside, provides you with your own private oasis with unobstructed views of the woods, a perfect spot to grill or BBQ to enjoy a warm summer day or have a open fire pit on a cold fall or winter night. The main level also features a powder room (a half bathroom) a few steps down from the living space. One level up from the main living space you will find three generous sized bedrooms with the master bedroom having a vaulted ceiling and two spacious walk-in closets with plenty of room for shelving for useful storage and smart organization. The two front sunny bedrooms share a bright clean bath with a full-size tub on white tile. A linen closet and a convenient laundry area for the washer and dryer is tucked away between the bedrooms on this level. The highlight of this spacious home is the expansive master bedroom suite which is large enough for a king size bed, dresser and armoire and a vaulted ceiling seating area by the large windows overlooking the deck and the woods. This level is also boasting a sizeable full bath with jetted tub, spacious stall shower and dual vanities with new faucets. Two walk-in closets are large enough to accommodate plenty of clothing, accessories and linens. Last but not least the first (ground) level features the fourth bedroom with its full bath and the recreation room with lots of usable space for a surround-sound large screen TV or cinema projector for your viewing pleasure and relaxation. This level is self-contained and can be used as an in-law suite with its own separate entrance. It also includes an additional gated deck with a corrugated ceiling to keep you dry on rainy days thus you can still enjoy the outdoors without getting wet. The rec room can accommodate a wet bar for entertainment. This level provides access to the oversized garage with space for two cars and extra (half a car-size) space on the side for a motorcycle or additional storage. There is also an outside storage room on the right side of the property by the garage, with a light and an AC outlet. The garage houses the heating and cooling units, the humidifier, and the water heater, all of which were replaced two years ago along with a new architectural style roof.
