About This Home

**** Offer accepted. Open houses canceled. **** This is the one you’ve been waiting for! The unicorn blend of completely updated and perfectly suited to support a busy lifestyle while being comfortable and stylish. **** You are even already prepared for summer! Sellers have a pool membership with SRA (Stratford Recreation Association) and you have first right to purchase within 7 days of closing! No waitlist needed. **** Located in highly desirable Stratford Landing neighborhood.

The Andersen storm doors and solid wood, double entry doors with a huge, sunny transom window wow as you walk in. Hardwoods in all the living areas and bedrooms, and custom light fixtures, ceiling fans and paint colors throughout.

The open floor plan in this home lends itself easily to everyday living, hosting extended family gatherings or entertaining a large party.

Enjoy a stunning kitchen with waterfall quartz island — boasting dual-sided storage, a warm wood tone cabinetry and the convenient microwave — stainless steel appliances and soft black vent hood, a fridge that you can see what’s needed for the list without having to open it. Pantry and cabinet space abound and drawers softly close in this practical and gorgeous kitchen! Walk out the double Andersen patio doors from the dining space onto your freshly painted deck. Perfect for grilling and enjoying sunny weather. Look to your right, a large shed (painted to match the house) to store all your outdoor equipment (including kayaks to take out on Little Huntington Creek and/or the Potomac — just a few streets away!) The fully fenced backyard includes a gate leading directly to the walk / bike path to Fort Hunt Elementary.

Built-in cabinets surround the tv / art area in the living room for elegant storage. Custom faux wood blinds cover the Andersen double-paned windows throughout.

A large primary bedroom with ensuite and two more spacious bedrooms and stylish hall bath, with suntube for daytime light, round out the upper level.

In the lower level an expansive, yet cozy, rec room with a wood-burning, whitewashed fireplace is perfect for tv watching and hanging out.

A full bathroom and two additional bedrooms on the lower level: One of which is huge and the neighboring storage and laundry room is asking that bedroom to be converted to a second luxury primary suite..

Rarely available in this neighborhood -- an oversized TWO car garage with work area!

**** Seller has a membership to the Stratford Recreation Association (pool tennis etc). Buyer has the first option to purchase the membership from SRA within 7 days of closing. ****

Convenient to GW Pkwy – including the bike path that parallels the Potomac River, Mt. Vernon Estate, minutes to Old Town Alexandria, Pentagon, DC, Ft. Belvoir. Dining options, historic sites, shopping and outdoor activities galore!
