Welcome to this fine mid-Century rambler on nearly half an acre and on a cul-de-sac in Villamay! Enter through the double doorway into the slate foyer where you will be greeted by a wall of windows in the LR overlooking the manicured and blossoming backyard with a lighted waterfall. From the foyer, turn left and enter the family room which includes a cozy wood-burning fireplace. This communicates with the renovated kitchen complete with a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinet space (with slow-close and pull-out larger drawers) and recessed lighting. From the kitchen you have the option to visit the powder room, the dedicated laundry room, the attached garage or enter the formal dining room. From the spacious dining room, go through the Pella sliding door and dine al fresco on the covered porch, watch a sports game (TV mount conveys) or just enjoy the fresh air. Speaking of the outdoors, the yard has beautiful gardens, French draining, a soothing stone waterfall, an 8x12 storage shed with electricity, and is fully fenced. Exterior lighting with motion detectors is on 3 sides of the home. On a clear winter day, you can even get a glimpse of the Potomac River, the National Harbor, and the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. There is also a bald eagle nest, home to two bald eagles, also in sight. Nature is truly all around. The living room is showered with natural light and has a second independent wood-burning fireplace. The sleeping quarters are well-designed to be on the other side of the entertainment zone. It consists of the master ensuite with an oversized walk-in closet and a full bath with a standing tiled shower, and two more large bedrooms with a full bath with a tub. Transform two bedrooms easily into three bedrooms thus updating the home into 4 beds/2.5 bath. Gleaming wood floors throughout, ideal for one-level living. The 420sf unfinished basement is perfect for storage or as a wine-cellar. Tons of parking with the two-car garage and a circular driveway for up to 7 cars (plus the cul-de-sac parking). The home is South-facing, excellent for future solar panels. Minutes away from Old Town Alexandria, marinas, restaurants, and parks. Run, don’t walk! This won’t last!
