8502 Engleside St

Enjoy the privacy of this beautiful, 2-level rambler on a lovingly landscaped, expansive lot (0.28 acres) in the Engleside neighborhood of Alexandria. Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, this home features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a beautifully re-finished lower level with lots of storage, a workshop and direct access to the amazing, flat backyard. Pride of ownership is evident in every space of this home as these Owners made both stylish and functional upgrades. Their stylish modifications will delight you including: upgrading the kitchen with appliances (2020), additional white cabinets, copper sink and butcher block counters, refinishing hardwood floors, adding a gorgeous shower to the lower level half bath, and renovating the lower level to add guest and recreational spaces. The functional upgrades were almost as impressive: adding exterior drainage, regrading the yard, replacing sewer pipes, replacing roof (2018), adding sump pump and foundation waterproofing (2019) and replacing HVAC (2021) with a high grade system. Truly move-in ready, you won’t need to change a thing. The amenities at 8502 offer lots of options. Entertain to your heart’s delight. The large deck and flat yard with no surrounding homes make dining al fresco or hosting an outdoor movie party equally festive. Or have an indoor dinner party in the separate formal dining space. Overnight guests will enjoy the light, bright space in the lower level. They won’t believe they’re underground. You can age in place at 8502 as there are 3 bedrooms located on the main level making one-level living entirely possible. And should you need to make any changes, the lack of an HOA means you only need to answer to the County. Great for commuting, just pull your car out of the 2-car, tandem carport and take a short drive to Fairfax County Parkway, Fort Belvoir, Kingstowne or Franconia Springfield Metro. You’re convenient to everything yet still located in a serene corner of Fairfax County.
