2703 Russell Rd

Lovely Cape-Cod home in a fabulous location within walking distance to the heart of Del Ray! This single-family home maintains its original historic charm while offering nice upgrades for the modern family. New roof and HVAC system added in 2021, freshly painted, and a new irrigation system with drains added to the backyard in 2020. Lush gardens and a classic brick walkway welcome you to the front door. Inside, hardwood floors and elegant 1930’s glass door knobs can be found throughout. An open living space was created in the dining and living rooms, with crown moldings, an inviting fireplace, recessed lighting and dining room built-ins adding to the allure. The galley-style kitchen offers butcher block counters, white cabinetry and a sub-zero fridge. Relax with a cold glass of lemonade on the screened-in porch with built-in daybed with ceiling fan for extra air flow. The porch steps out onto the back deck overlooking the flat, fenced yard for anytime entertaining. French doors separate the main-level office from the rest of the house, making it easy to privately step away and work from home. The full bath on the main-level has been completely renovated in 2021 and features heated marble-tile floors. Tucked away and upgraded last year, the entry-level third bedroom includes a new bead-board ceiling, a sizable walk-in closet and large wardrobe unit. The upper level has two generously sized bedrooms. Fantastic storage can be found in one upstairs bedroom with its unique and secret bonus room. The expansive lower level offers its own private outside entrance and would make a great au pair suite. It includes two bonus rooms (one with a custom entertainment center), polished concrete floors, 2 intimate electric fireplaces that keep the rooms cozy in the winter, and a brand-new spa-like ensuite bath with heated marble floors, chic floating vanity with a backlit mirror and a rain shower head, and subway tile complete the shower. Plenty of storage options on this versatile level make it easy to store your things away. Only a short distance to the shops and restaurants on Mount Vernon Avenue, and an easy commute to D.C., I-395, and Old Town Alexandria.
