Colonial

Spacious and gracious, this classic five-bed, four-bath home is a treasure. Step through the apple red front door into the stone-tiled foyer, complete with a large, lighted closet. Note the sight line includes a lovely view through the kitchen and breakfast area to the backyard beyond. To the right, a large living room beckons with rich hardwood flooring and near floor-to-ceiling windows. Beautiful wood double doors lead to a serene family room with an exposed brick wall, vaulted ceiling and skylight, and a beautiful bay window overlooking the private front yard. Perfect for an office or a quiet spot to read, paint, write, or nap. Adjoining the sitting room through louvered French doors is a main-level bedroom with a pair of handy built-ins and a full bath. Off the living room is the generous dining room, roomy enough to fit a large table and plenty of seating; large windows open up to the green backyard. The space flows into the den facing the backyard, anchored by a beautiful rustic fireplace. Numerous and varied windows, including skylights, bathe the space in natural light, and two separate doors open to the deck outside. Warm and welcoming, the kitchen features two sinks, granite counters, loads of usable storage space in solid wood cabinets and pantries - plenty of space for a large table. Stainless steel appliances include a backsplash that sits over the gas stove and a new range hood. There are two ovens in here in addition to an oversized refrigerator, all ready for entertaining family and friends. A passthrough window over the sink connects to the camaraderie and conversation in the den. On the other side of the kitchen is the powder room as well as a second living room with a wood-burning fireplace, charming bead board paneling, another closet, and access through French doors to the large deck outside. Upstairs, the hallway leads to three bedrooms, a linen closet, a full bathroom with a double vanity next to a unique glass brick light well and skylight. The primary bedroom is a spacious haven that spans front to back with a comfortable sitting area overlooking the front yard below. The primary bathroom includes a double vanity, a separate tub and shower, toilet and bidet. Wait till you see the bonus step-up room with a huge walk-in closet and dressing area that also offers a built-in, fold-out ironing board. Also on this level is convenient access to generous attic storage. Downstairs, the basement has the laundry room, utilities, storage closets, a bonus room and full bath. Running the length of the house in the back, a comfortable deck with charming pergolas and lattice work offers privacy and plenty of room for living and dining, with the yard surrounded by tall trees and mature landscaping. A double garage offers more storage and convenient access to the first floor. Located on land that was originally part of George Washington’s farms, this home is close to public transportation, shopping, the Potomac River, Old Town Alexandria and all the amenities of Washington, DC.
