OPEN HOUSE IS CANCELLED. PROPERTY IS UNDRER CONTRACT. Set on an idyllic 10,000 square foot lot sits this beautifully updated and chic 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rambler. Driving up to the home, you notice the large oak tree anchoring the front of the home and the picture-perfect yellow door to welcome you. A long driveway allows up to 3-4 car parking. Warm original hardwood floors that carry through the majority of the home greet you at the front door as you walk in. The current owners have outfitted the front room of the house as a large dining room complete with built-in banquette – the perfect cozy spot for entertaining. A full bathroom with original tile and built-in is tucked away just off the hallway. Two bright and airy bedrooms are at the end of the hallway. The renovated kitchen, complete with warm wood cabinets that carry to the ceiling and granite countertops, is at the other end of the hallway. To the rear of the home is a tucked away living room that leads to the large backyard. The expansive yard leaves boundless options from gardening to entertaining as well as expanding the current house. A large storage room is just off the main home leaving the potential for an additional bedroom, office, or living area and has a rough in for an additional bathroom. This home abounds with character and charm as well as being meticulously maintained. Within the last 3 years, the owners have installed a new roof and gutters, HVAC, and siding on the addition, refinished the hardwood floors, added a shed, and added exterior drainage (French drains, downspout extensions to dry well, and added a window well). The location can’t be beat! With a 10-minute drive to Old Town Alexandria, you have tons of restaurants and shopping options, not to mention Belle Haven and Hollin Hall for additional restaurants, shopping, coffee shops and grocery stores. Tucked away from Route 1 and George Washington Parkway leaves easy commuting options and access to DC.
