Set on a fenced lot of nearly half an acre in the heart of Mount Vernon, this 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home offers the kind of space, comfort, and layout that simply makes life feel easier. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, and the main level was designed for the way people actually live, with open sightlines between the kitchen, dining room, and family room. The family room is especially memorable with its soaring cathedral ceilings and striking stone fireplace that naturally draws everyone in, whether it is a quiet evening at home or a house full of friends and family. The kitchen is generously sized and thoughtfully designed with maple shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an eat in bar, and an impressive amount of storage. The oversized foyer creates a welcoming entry, while the expansive laundry and storage area adds everyday practicality that is hard to find. Upstairs, the primary suite feels calm and private with an updated bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and walk in shower, and the additional baths throughout the home have all been beautifully updated as well. Outside, the freshly refinished deck overlooks a backyard with endless possibilities, from soccer games and summer cookouts to gardening, pets, or simply enjoying a little extra room to breathe. Located just minutes from Riverside Elementary, Whitman Middle School, Mount Vernon High School, the George Washington Recreation Center, parks along the Potomac, neighborhood shopping and dining, and commuter routes to Old Town, Fort Belvoir, the Pentagon, and Washington, DC, this home offers a rare combination of space, warmth, and convenience in one of Northern Virginia's most established communities with no HOA!
