What's special

Welcoming foyerInviting brick walkwayBeautifully renovated hall bathThoughtfully renovated interiorOverlooks the private backyardNestled among mature treesGleaming hardwood floors

Absolutely charming expanded three-level Cape Cod nestled among mature trees on a beautifully landscaped 6,968-square-foot lot. From the inviting brick walkway to the thoughtfully renovated interior, this exceptional home blends timeless character with modern luxury. The welcoming foyer opens to gleaming hardwood floors that flow throughout the main and upper levels. The spacious formal living room features a classic wood-burning fireplace with a beautiful brick surround, while the adjoining sunroom is bathed in natural light from south- and west-facing windows and overlooks the private backyard. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the chef's kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open layout that seamlessly connects to the dining room. Vaulted ceilings, dual skylights, and a large picture window create a bright and inviting dining space. The main-level primary suite provides the convenience of one-level living and features abundant natural light, luxury vinyl plank flooring, a second wood-burning fireplace, a spacious walk-in closet, and a stunning spa-inspired bath with a frameless glass shower and dual vanity. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and two beautifully updated full baths, including a second luxurious en-suite primary bedroom with room for a king-sized bed, a large closet, and a designer bath featuring a soaking tub. The additional bedrooms offer excellent closet space, abundant windows, and share a beautifully renovated hall bath. The lower level provides nearly 1,000 square feet of storage and utility space, a laundry area with utility sink, and room for a home gym or workshop. The fully fenced backyard is a true outdoor retreat, featuring mature landscaping and a spectacular multi-level patio perfect for entertaining, grilling, or simply relaxing. Off-street alley parking for two vehicles adds everyday convenience. Additional highlights include radiant heat for exceptional year-round comfort and energy efficiency, along with numerous recent updates including the roof, HVAC system, kitchen appliances, flooring, and three beautifully renovated bathrooms. Ideally located just minutes from Metro, shopping, dining, grocery stores, parks, schools, the Pentagon, and Amazon's National Landing headquarters, with the added convenience of a commute to Washington, DC without a single stoplight. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in one of Northern Virginia's most desirable locations.
