Tucked back from the road on a spacious, private lot, surrounded by trees, this inviting Alexandria home offers the kind of setting that’s getting harder to find... Country living in the city! Lots of space for play or creating a small homestead with raised beds for your own garden! The kids can enjoy walking to school on the nature trail as well as accessing the rest of the neighborhood for biking and fun. Plus you can literally walk right across the street to Grist Mill Park for sports or playtime and Mount Vernon Country Club for getting that round of golf in! Hardwood flooring throughout. Tons of spacious bedrooms. Two large living rooms each with a fireplace for those cozy winter nights! The layout is both practical and comfortable, with an eat-in kitchen for everyday living plus a separate dining room that’s perfect for special gatherings. Just off the main living space and kitchen, the screened-in porch is a favorite spot- ideal for morning coffee or winding down in the evening without worrying about the bugs. Out back, the yard is ready for whatever you enjoy most. There’s a firepit for cool nights, raised garden beds for growing your own vegetables or flowers, and a shed for extra storage. Whether you’re hosting friends or just enjoying a quiet weekend, the options are endless! A two-car garage adds convenience and plenty of room for parking and storage. Don't miss the brand-new roof! That is a huge expense you will NOT have to worry about! Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. You’re minutes from George Washington's Mount Vernon, close to Fort Belvoir, and have easy access to the Mount Vernon Trail for biking, running, or just getting outside. The Potomac River adds even more ways to enjoy the area’s natural beauty. Commuting is straightforward, with convenient routes to the Pentagon and beyond. Plus you can literally walk out the door to a nearby bus stop and get to your office in DC or the Pentagon. Easily bike to work if you are stationed at Fort Belvoir (and you can actually bike to the Pentagon too for a good workout). This is a very special place in the shadow of George Washington's historic home. Make it yours on the 250th birthday of America!
