A gracious foyer welcomes you to this beautiful mid-century brick home modernized with attention to detail & elegant touches throughout. Wood Plantation shutters, hardwood floors, Pella windows & doors, recessed lighting, 6 panel interior doors & remodeled kitchen & baths are evidence of the homeowner's meticulous planning & care. The large gourmet kitchen is equipped for a serious baker with a dual-fuel Wolf range, stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, light-wood cabinets & porcelain tile backsplash. Pull-out drawers, roomy cabinets & storage spaces are a-plenty & a hidden-away printer shelf makes it handy to work at the peninsula. Ample table space makes the kitchen an ideal spot for casual dining or a play or work space. Adjoining the kitchen is a family room with Pella French doors opening to the rear patio. Completing the main level is a lovely powder room, also with hardwood floors. 24-light Williamsburg windows and a wood-burning fireplace highlight the banquet-sized dining room, transformed from the original living room. The upper 2 levels accommodate the 3 bedrooms & a lovely full bath. Pull-down stairs in the 3rd bedroom enable access to the partially-floored attic. Two fully-finished lower levels (the first has access to the back yard) offer generous spaces for play, entertainment, telework or exercise. A separate laundry room has the washer/dryer, sink, cabinet, folding spaces & also houses the furnace & HWH. A 2nd storage room has space for shelves & work table for hobbies. The exterior is as lovely as the interior with stacked stone walls, wildflowers, annuals & perennials galore, 6 garden beds with implanted watering & 3 compost bins, plus 2 sheds for garden equipment. An automated irrigation system waters the front & back & there is attractive cedar fencing in the rear. A big patio is delightful for outdoor gatherings & the front porch is perfect for greeting neighbors on their daily strolls. Very close by is the George Washington Parkway bordering the Potomac River & its path to Mt. Vernon to the south and Alexandria City to the north.
