Rich in character, impressive in scale, and thoughtfully designed, this home located in a historic community delivers comfort, versatility, and elegance-far exceeding first impressions. This residence exemplifies multi-generational living at its finest, blending gracious formal spaces with private retreats across multiple levels. The marble-floored foyer opens to hardwood floors, generous room sizes, and a natural flow enhanced by large windows and pleasant vistas. Formal living and dining rooms lead seamlessly to the updated kitchen or the family room, which provides direct access to the patio and large, flat rear yard. The spacious living room features a traditional wood-burning fireplace and picture window, while the dining room easily accommodates large gatherings. The kitchen offers custom cherry cabinetry, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, abundant counter space, and access to the patio, rear yard, and oversized two-car garage. Three bedrooms and a bonus den are located on the main level, including a primary suite with private bath, and an updated hall bath. The full lower level greatly expands the living space with a massive recreation room featuring a raised-hearth fireplace, a large laundry room with storage and yard access, a third full bath, a fourth bedrooom, a walk-in cedar closet, catering/entertaining prep kitchenette, and a spacious utility room. A delightful front porch-perfect for morning coffee or an evening aperitif-overlooks an expansive grassy front yard framed by mature shade trees and easy-care plantings. While charming at first glance, the home is far grander in size than it appears, offering exceptional space and flexibility. The outside is thoughtfully landscaped and ready for your next gathering. With direct access to the George Washington Memorial Parkway, Route 1, and I-495, commuting into Washington, DC, National Landing, the Pentagon, and Downtown Alexandria is efficient and predictable. The home sits within a genuine community setting-tree-lined streets, established neighborhood character, and proximity to parks, trails, and the Potomac River create a peaceful environment that feels removed from the rush of the city while keeping everything within reach. Residents enjoy easy access to Old Town Alexandria, Del Ray, local shops, dining, and waterfront recreation, all contributing to a strong sense of connection and lifestyle quality.
