Perched on a gentle hill in Braddock Heights, one of Alexandriaâs prettiest neighborhoods, this four bedroom, three bath home features over 3500 square feet of living space in its classic design. The flow through the large main level is grounded in rich hardwood flooring. Kolbe windows line the front of the home in the living room, providing a grandstand view of the creek and picturesque nature conservancy across the street. Iconic dental molding crowns the wood-burning fireplace, and French doors lead into the chair-rail-lined dining room, where a bonus closet is handy to store your table linens and holiday decor. There is also a convenient wet bar in the dining room to simplify some of your entertaining needs. The oversized, eat-in kitchen features a bountiful bank of those Kolbe windows overlooking the fully fenced, private backyard. Stainless appliances, including a double oven and a new Jenn-Air stove top, complement the abundant cabinetry that provide generous storage. The laundry room is just off to the side of the kitchen, and there are two doors on either side of the kitchen that lead to the deck and outdoors. Rounding out this main level are a fourth bedroom (there are three upstairs) and a bonus room that could serve as an office, a guest room, or a fifth bedroom. Upstairs, two sizable bedrooms offer charming window seats with built-ins under the dormers. The master bedroom is an enormous space, with a cathedral ceiling and large Kolbe windows and clerestories overlooking the backyard. With fully accessible doorways in the closets and bathroom, this master includes a full bath with a jetted soaker tub, separate shower and an oversized walk-in closet. On the lower level, you will find a full wall of built-ins right next to another wood-burning fireplace. Thereâs convenient access to the deep and wide garage that has plenty of storage capacity as well as room to fully open your car doors. The basement has tons of storage as well a, a double utility sink, and a classic workbench with pegboard walls. Outside, wooden decking offers plenty of sitting and al fresco dining space. The backyard is fully fenced with a shed and a gate that leads to the neighborhood beyond. This home is sited without any other homes directly in front or in back, affording a peaceful, private, quiet space. Recent updates to this home are a new roof, a new fence, increased capacity in two circuit boxes, and dual-zone heating and air conditioning. This home is within walking distance to shopping and restaurants, the public elementary and high schools, two parochial schools, churches, supermarket, and public transportation. Walk to all the shops, restaurants, and boutiques of Del Ray and Shirlington, and Old Town; National Airport, and Washington, DC, are just a quick drive away.
