This beautifully maintained detached single-family home offers space, updates, and an unbeatable location. Recent improvements include a newer roof (2022), HVAC and hot water heater (2015), and freshly refinished hardwood floors throughout the main level. Step into the welcoming foyer and head up to the main level, where cathedral ceilings crown a spacious living room that flows seamlessly into the open-concept dining area. The kitchen, renovated in 2015-2016, features cherry cabinetry, black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula breakfast bar overlooking the dining room. From there, step out onto the spacious composite deck overlooking a flat, fully fenced backyard - perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Down the hall, you'll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a built-in chest of drawers, closet, and an updated en-suite bath (renovated approximately 10 years ago) featuring a shower stall and wall-mounted toilet. A well-appointed hall bath with ceramic tile and a tub/shower combo serves the additional bedrooms, one of which features charming peg-style hardwood flooring. The lower level expands your living space further with a large bedroom offering full bath access from both the bedroom and hallway, a generous storage/workshop area (with potential to convert to an additional bedroom), a spacious utility/laundry room (washer/dryer not included), and an impressive family room centered around a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Additional storage under the stairs and a hall closet round out this level. Ideally situated in Stratford on the Potomac, this quiet, tree-lined, sidewalk community is home to families and individuals alike. Enjoy walking distance to Stratford Landing Elementary, home to Fairfax County's Advanced Academic Program, and easy access to Old Town Alexandria, Washington DC, the Pentagon, and Fort Belvoir. Commuters will love the proximity to I-95 and the GW Parkway, with Metro access just 5 miles away and Reagan National Airport under 10 miles out.
