Hidden-Gem and Well-Kept-Secret are terms that the residents of Taylor Run use to describe their neighborhood -one as desirable as it is convenient. Tucked just off the main thoroughfare of Duke Street, 133 East Taylor Run Parkway offers the best of both worlds: close to everything, yet a quiet retreat. Love walkability? You'll be about a mile from King Street Metro, Amtrak, and VRE, with all the dining, shopping, and historic appeal of Old Town Alexandria just beyond.

Gleaming hardwood floors span the top two levels, with ceramic tile flooring in the kitchen and lower level for easy care. Upstairs you'll find three bedrooms sharing a retro-style hall bath, while the fully finished lower level (with walk-up access to the side yard) has a full bath and provides flexible space - ideal as a rec room, home office, or even a 4th bedroom. The kitchen, with its own side entrance, features stainless steel appliances, expanded and striking granite counters with waterfall sides, and a matching backsplash. A wide pass-through connects seamlessly to the open dining and living rooms, creating an open and airy main level with loads of light! Outside, the front yard is fenced and adjacent to a driveway that easily fits two cars in tandem. The back is fully fenced with a large patio that abuts a terraced hillside, and is complete with an extensive drainage system (approx 2003) designed to handle even heavy downpours. *** With its great condition and enviable location, this home is truly one to see.
