Nestled on a quiet, cherry blossom tree-lined cul-de-sac, this stately stone front colonial is beyond compare. Built in 2009 with over $130,000 in recent upgrades made by the current owner, your new home features 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms on 4 floors and is perfect for entertaining and comfortable daily living. As you enter the home, you’ll be awed by the 10 ft ceilings, wainscoting, 12 inch crown molding and 5 inch hardwood floors throughout. On the main level, the formal living and dining rooms feature large bay windows with plantation shutters that lead to the open floor plan kitchen, breakfast area and family room. The gourmet kitchen delights with a large center island, bar seating, beautiful solid wood cabinets and quartz counter tops and quartz backsplash. The breakfast area steps out onto the impressive outdoor living space with a natural gas grill hookup, sitting and eating areas, and newly built 600 sq ft deck specially braced for a hot tub and looking out onto the mature trees and foliage of Fort Williams Park and Strawberry Run. You’ll feel like you’re in the middle of the forest, while being 14 minutes from DC and 9 minutes from Old Town Alexandria

As you walk back into the light-filled family room you will be greeted by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace surrounded by built in bookcases. Up on the 2nd floor, the high ceilings and crown molding carry into the expansive primary bedroom featuring a large picture window, a fireplace and separate sitting area, dual walk-in closets, and a spacious primary bathroom with a jacuzzi soaking tub and a large walk-in shower. The 2nd floor also features built-in-bookcases lining the hallways, 3 more bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as the bedroom-level laundry room with an LG smart washer and dryer.

On the 3rd floor, you’ll find an additional bedroom with a large walk-in closet which is plumbed for an optional 5th full bath - a perfect guest suite or office. The walk-out lower-level features a 3rd fireplace, a wine closet, an expansive wet bar with a wine fridge and an ice maker, and a large recreation room. You’ll also find an additional full bathroom and a 6th bedroom with large closets that’s perfect for a home gym. Walking distance to St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes schools.
