OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED- CONTRACT ACCEPTED!!! Welcome to this beautifully updated three-level townhome, where refined style meets tranquil, parkland living. Bathed in natural light and backing to serene green space, this home offers a sense of privacy that’s hard to find so close to Merrifield, Tysons, premier shopping, dining, and Metro access. The kitchen is a standout, thoughtfully designed with crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a sea glass backsplash, peninsula seating, and stainless-steel appliances. It flows effortlessly into the dining area and spacious family room, creating an inviting layout that balances a traditional feel with easy, elegant livability—perfect for both everyday moments and hosting. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility. The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat, complete with an expansive walk-in closet featuring custom shelving. The fully finished walkout lower level adds exceptional versatility, filled with natural light and adaptable to your needs—whether a guest suite, home office, fitness space, or additional living area—with convenient access to a full bath. A large laundry and storage room completes this level. Just outside, a private, fully fenced patio overlooks tranquil parkland, offering a quiet, scenic setting for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding. Thoughtful updates include a new roof (2024), renovated upper-level bath (2021), water heater (2018), patio (2018), kitchen renovation (2017), and hardwood flooring (2017). Perfectly positioned just minutes to Vienna/Fairfax Metro, Merrifield Town Center, Tysons, and only 17–25 minutes to Washington, D.C., this home offers an exceptional blend of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. 2961 Ellenwood is a property you won’t want to miss.
