This Colonial Revival home on a 9600 square-foot corner lot sits back from Russell Road, while the driveway and backyard open onto quiet Beverly Drive. This 2200 square-foot house has all new HardiePlank exterior and a new parking circle off the driveway. Opening onto the driveway from the large backyard is a new 10 x 20 unit with a concrete floor (it can support a boat or ATV), and is secured with a lock keyed to an app on your phone. The fenced backyard has room for play -- on the grass or new patio -- and relaxation in the new screened-in corner deck. There's also a garden shed for tools or other storage. The house is cooled with two new AC units. A classic powder room the main floor will charm your guests, while two updated bathrooms upstairs -- the hard-to-find 'two up' in Beverly Hills -- make family life more manageable. In the living room, start the gas fireplace and you've got a cozy place to read or work from home. Down in the basement family room is a custom built-in with lovely open shelves and generous closed storage, plus a spot for a big screen TV. The neighborhood boasts lovely Monticello Park, famous for bird-watching and, among locals at least, dog-walking. George Mason elementary school offers soccer fields, as well as basketball and tennis courts. For Pentagon commuters, the local Dash bus stops just a half-block down Russell Road from the house, and is a quick, stress-free trip straight to the Pentagon. The drive is short, too, though -- just four miles. And when work is done, the unique restaurants and shops of the vibrant Del Ray neighborhood are just a mile walk down the hill.
