Even the most discerning eye will be impressed from the large corner lot to the updates throughout. Upon entering you'll be greeted with original hardwood floors that show off their timeless character, especially now after they were just refinished to look like new. The living area draws in tons of natural light from oversized windows flanking both the front and back of the house. If you've been searching for a bright white updated kitchen, you're going to love this one that features quartz countertops, stainless appliances, modern flooring, and white cabinetry. Step over to the hallway where a stylish sliding barn door is your entryway to the stunning primary bathroom that blends the look of a timeless classic with the modern flair of today. Other unique features include the spacious sun-filled garage which has French doors leading to the private outdoor patio, a premium in this community where many houses are either without a garage or simply have a carport. The backyard has a new privacy fence in addition to the one on the patio, providing the ultimate privacy from all directions. And..you get all of these amazing features right in the heart of Alexandria within minutes of the Potomac River, jogging/biking trails, historic Mount Vernon, Old Town Alexandria, Reagan Airport, GW Parkway, and more!
