Utterly charming and beautifully maintained cottage in Alexandria's West End, just 2.5 miles west of Old Town. This spacious Cape Cod has many updates and a large backyard with seating and a fire pit. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home features a gorgeous kitchen, open and airy recently painted living and dining areas, and beautiful hardwood floors. The main floor bathroom has been completely remodeled, featuring modern amenities with a vintage design. The light-filled main floor offers custom-built entertainment shelving and an open flow. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and a tiled backsplash. Upstairs, there are two large bedrooms, each with en-suite full bathrooms, while the main floor and basement host the third and fourth bedrooms. The primary bedroom includes a huge walk-in closet with a large window, making it feel more like a dressing room. The finished basement serves as a versatile space with a second fireplace, mantle, surround, and fireplace doors, adding coziness akin to the main floor. Additionally, the basement provides a large, multi-use area for laundry, workspace (including a workbench), and ample storage. The backyard is an outdoor oasis with an expansive stone patio, a natural gas fire pit with a temperature flame sensor and built-in seating, and a significant French drain system to ensure proper water flow in the yard. The property also features privacy fence and ample space for a garden. Nearby amenities include Harris Teeter, Giant, Aldi, Alexandria Commons, and Shops at Foxchase, as well as Port City Brewing, Rocklands BBQ and more! Conveniently located just a block away from Fort Williams Park creek and near Whole Foods, Hoffman Town Center, and all of Old Town. The 8Z bus on the street corner provides access to King Street or the Pentagon. Metro access to 495 is straight down Duke Street, with Quaker Lane and Seminary Road just a couple of turns away for access to 395.
