A beautifully renovated and expanded home with a special history, located on ¾ of an acre with scenic views, the home was the second ever to be built on Old Mount Vernon Road (outside of the Mount Vernon Estate!). Owned by the same family since the original house was constructed in 1949, and expanded in 1955, the current owners, third generation of the original family, worked with award-winning architect, Charles Moore, on a three-stage expansion and renovation, completed in 2016, that transformed the property while retaining its original charm. The attention to great sightlines throughout the house, the sense of graciousness, and the ease of living are hallmarks of his work. The attention to detail and flexibility in the floor plan provide great options for a variety of arrangements, such as multi-generational living or home offices. The landscaped property and outdoor spaces, including the front porch, rear deck, terrace, and screened porch, offer ample opportunities for enjoying the surrounding nature. The current owner's renovation, which included adding a garage and upstairs suite, reconfiguring and enlarging the main house, constructing a basement wine cellar and tasting room, and expanding the walk-out portion of the basement, make this so much more than just a four bedroom, four-and-a-half bath house! Located behind Mount Vernon on one of George Washington's five original farms, this property is conveniently located with many nearby amenities and various attractions, providing a great advantage for anyone interested in history or outdoor activities. Close access to a pool and tennis club, a yacht club, and a country club provide plenty of outlets for recreation and socializing. The proximity to grocery stores, home improvement stores, medical facilities, and Fort Belvoir is also a huge plus. The neighborhood is walkable and bikeable in a friendly community where residents easily get to know one another. And, of course, the scenic drive down the George Washington Parkway along the Potomac River is the perfect way to unwind after a long day. So many details to be revealed, including the fabulous Chef's kitchen, the beautiful, original wood flooring, the "book hallway", garage guest suite ... we invite you to visit this special place.
