Nestled on a serene 1.16-acre lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, this meticulously maintained brick Mantua rambler offers the perfect blend of charm and modern updates. Enjoy main-level living with an updated kitchen featuring a new tile floor! The inviting living and dining rooms are centered around a wood-burning fireplace, while a bright sunroom addition opens to a brand-new elevated deck, ideal for entertaining. Throughout the main level, there are numerous rooms with new recessed lighting and the original hardwoods have been beautifully refinished. The primary suite boasts an updated bath and a brand-new walk-in closet. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. The expansive lower level offers a family room with built-in bookcases - a cozy den with a second wood-burning fireplace. The two additional private bedrooms, as well as another updated full bath, allow Aunt Linda to visit and have her own space. One of them would be ideal for the eldest crew member looking for independence, or that necessary home office. A large utility room with a washer and dryer opens to a mudroom with a bench "drop zone" and garage access. The expansive, flat yard is perfect for outdoor activities and gatherings. Conveniently located near Eakin Park (right around the corner), downtown Fairfax City, and the Mosaic District, with easy access to Rte 50, 236, and the Beltway. Situated near INOVA Fairfax Hospital complex, the Dunn Loring & Vienna Metro Stations, this home is also zoned for the highly sought-after school pyramid of Mantua Elementary, Frost Middle, and Woodson High School. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity!
