146 Ike Dr

Eisenhower Square is the place to be. This prestigious enclave of homes in Alexandria City provides the community "feels" like overlooking a central picnic park, with one of the most convenient locations for city life or metro (2 stations are less than 2 miles away). National Harbor, DC and airport are all less than 10 miles away; even closer are dog parks, breweries, Whole Foods and future Wegman's. When home, you may immediately notice upgraded stones and materials, or lighting and ceiling fans, but only once you have your favorite coffee mug in hand on the balcony or rooftop will you appreciate the lifestyle afforded by this specific unit. MAIN LEVEL GOURMET KITCHEN A chef's dream kitchen is the heart of the home completely open to the main level, with quartz counters in such abundance you can keep company while you cook or bake, right at the island with seating for 4. Little details and extra cabinets, just waiting for your favorite spices and gadgets, to take full advantage of the Gas range. Most relaxing of all may be the sunlight streaming in from both directions while you sip your morning tea, before the tasks of the day take over. MAIN LEVEL LIVING A perfect example of an open floor plan graced by wood floors, soaring ceilings and elegant staircases with upgraded wrought iron railings, offers plenty of room for everyone to spread out and find their own corner. Work, study, play and lounging, are all provided for, although you may find everyone gathered cozy around the fireplace in the family room. Prepare for your largest group of friends in the gourmet kitchen, before seating in the elegant dining room, followed by evening conversations on the private balcony. UPPER LEVEL MASTER SUITE Primary Master Suite welcomes the day with upgraded carpet underfoot and sunlight streaming in through a wall of windows, once you decide to open the curtains. The bath rivals any luxury hotel with extended length quartz dual vanity, and floor to ceiling tile shower, that combine to create the perfect experience for starting your day. UPPER LEVEL The upper level provides two bedrooms in total, both with ensuite bathrooms. The primary suite is just a little more upgraded, but anyone would be lucky to retreat to the other, every evening - they might just want to sleep in a little later in the morning after adding plush bedding. Laundry room on this level is just another convenience. LOWER LEVEL Just steps in from the front door or back garage, is a perfectly private but bright bedroom with a generous bathroom for guests, unless you prefer a home gym, or to study a good book or your computer screen, using it as an office. TOP FLOOR LIVING The very top floor is finished as the crown jewel of this home, you may never want to leave. No one will even know it is there, if you don't tell! Except it would be a prized penthouse for someone lucky enough to claim the stylish 4th bedroom and upgraded bathroom with tiled shower. They just might not share the space for entertaining that it is truly maximized for. ENTERTAINING The top floor is designed for entertaining or escape, to include your own "top shelf" and beverage fridge, unless you prefer an ideal coffee bar. The glass doors slide back adding the rooftop deck space to the mix. Style it up with your patio furniture for a little al fresco dining or drinks, after grilling. The owner paid a premium for this unit, because of the sunsets.
