Wow...you won't be disappointed in this meticulously maintained and improved brick/siding detached home in a close in sought after community! Just minutes to 395, yet sits on a cul-de-sac in a quiet no through community. So lightly traveled and private...hard to find in an urban environment...yet walkable to grocery stores, banks, pastry shops, Starbucks, drug stores, post office, restaurants and more. Just five minutes down the road are all the shops, theaters and restaurants of Shirlington Village!
Enter into a spacious foyer with the formal living room and dining room just to the left. The staircase to the bedroom level is just on the right. The family room is just beyond the staircase and the kitchen is straight ahead. The gorgeous, remodeled kitchen boasts a Viking gas range and stainless steel appliances. The blue tile backsplash complements the rich granite countertops, under cabinet and pantry lighting provide an abundance of light for all the meal preparations! An adjoining butler pantry is the perfect spot for setting up a coffee bar and/or wine station...leaving the kitchen area free for all the prepping. Just beyond the butler pantry, is a coveted laundry/mud room (new washer in 2023) a perfect spot for the wet boots and jackets. The "oh-so convenient" breakfast room is the perfect spot for kids' crafts, homework and of course eating. Saving the best for last on this main level is the adjoining family room. Anchored by a handsome fireplace flanked with lighted custom shelves and cabinetry and crown molding, this room is the heart of the house. Recently installed drywall with added insulation in the walls and under the floors and a double pane door make this a cozy place to gather year round. Hardwood floors and a convenient powder room finish off the main level. An oversize two car garage and access to the lower level and unfinished basement are both located off the family room. Room for two cars and still plenty of space for bikes, lawn equipment and sports paraphernalia. The HUGE lower level, already plumbed for a full bath, can be anything you want it to be. Add an egress window for a 5th bedroom and it's the perfect spot for a nanny, in-law visits, or the returning college student. The other part of it could be a recreation room for ping pong and a large screen TV for family movie nights and game watching. The upper level houses the ensuite primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, 3 additional bedrooms and a second full bath. In 2016, all the windows, roof, gutters, siding, fascia, rake boards, garage side door and all exterior light fixtures were replaced. In 2018, the kitchen was remodeled, new bathroom exhaust fans and attic fan were installed and the hallway light fixtures were replaced. The garage door, with a battery backup was installed in 2019. The front yard was relandscaped in 2020. Lastly, the entire interior was painted in 2024.
