Welcome to the highly desirable Riverside Gardens neighborhood in Fort Hunt Alexandria. Enjoy a walk down these idyllic streets with their sidewalks and mature trees. This home is just a short stroll to Riverside Gardens Swim & Tennis Club, a social center adding to the sense of community you’ll find in this neighborhood. Through the entryway, this charming home features fresh renovations, including new paint throughout, new luxury vinyl plank in the family room, new quartz counters, tile backsplash, white cabinets, and brand new sink and faucet in the kitchen. The sprawling counter space wrapping around the kitchen is perfect for a quick barstool breakfast while looking out the picture window to the spacious backyard, or to the left passthrough to the large, lower, family room. This lower level features a gas-burning fireplace, as well as an adjoining powder room and laundry/mudroom. There is also additional storage space, a pegboard-lined closet, and accessible HVAC replaced last year. On the main floor, ideal for hosting, is a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a formal dining room which overlooks the back screened-in porch and the beautiful private backyard. Indeed, you can tell that the front and back landscaping were designed and maintained with love and care, with a paver patio and a flat grassy yard. On the left, leading up to a storage shed, a long driveway adds plenty of off-street parking. The uppermost level of the home has a luxurious primary suite, complete with a large primary bathroom and walk in closet. On the bedroom level you will find an updated full bath, a linen closet, and three bedrooms offering plenty of space for family, guests, or an office. Come live in the beautiful heart of the D.C. area, where you can either enjoy the peaceful quiet of your own backyard, or host gatherings of friends and family. Enjoy living minutes from Old Town, the Mt Vernon Bike Trail and the Potomac River, or the Historic Mount Vernon Estate. Walk or bike over to Fort Hunt Park or the GW Parkway, or shop at the beloved Hollin Hall shopping center, where you'll find a grocery store, coffee shop, bank, restaurants, and a hardware store. You will also have easy access to Reagan National Airport and Washington, D.C.
