**NEW PRICE. EXCEPTIONAL VALUE.** Nestled on a lovely elevated lot on a no-through street in Alexandria's sought-after Rosemont/Braddock Heights area, this expanded Colonial beautifully blends the character and charm of its 1950s origins with thoughtful updates for today's lifestyle.
With more than 3,200 finished square feet across three levels, four bedrooms, three full baths and one half bath, this home offers a wonderful balance of pleasant gathering spaces, flexible living areas, and private retreats. Stairs from the street lead to a welcoming front portico and a gracious entry.
Inside, warm wood floors and abundant natural light create an inviting first impression. The light-filled living room features a wood-burning fireplace, providing a cozy focal point for relaxing and entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, ample cabinetry, and an easy flow into the home's expansive rear addition.
Here, a spacious dining area opens to a gorgeous family room surrounded by walls of windows, creating a bright and airy space that feels connected to the outdoors. Double French doors lead directly to the rear patio, making indoor-outdoor entertaining effortless.
Also on the main level are two bedrooms, currently used as offices, a convenient half bath, (plumbed for a full bath), and a charming alcove or pass-through room that adds character and flexibility to the floor plan. An elegant staircase with decorative scalloped trim leads to the upper level, where two ample en-suite bedrooms are complemented by a serene sitting room overlooking the picturesque backyard.
The primary suite is a quiet retreat, featuring two walk-in closets and a renovated bath with a double-sink vanity and large glass-enclosed shower. Bedroom two is also generously sized and offers its own ensuite bath with a glass-enclosed tub/shower and a walk-in closet.
The star of the upper level is the distinctive sitting room, highlighting a beautiful barrel-vaulted ceiling and a large window that echoes its soft curve while framing views of the backyard. Filled with natural light, it is a tranquil space for reading, relaxing, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting.
The finished lower-level recreation room is a versatile space, perfect for a home gym, TV room, office, or additional gathering space. A laundry room, another full bath, and access to the basement garage are also located on this level. The private, fully fenced backyard offers three idyllic outdoor spaces surrounded by lush plantings and meandering stone paths.
The interior flows seamlessly to the large main patio, ideal for grilling, alfresco dining, and entertaining. A delightful side patio provides an inviting nook for morning coffee or container gardening, while a secluded third patio tucked into the back corner offers a calm place to unwind in nature or gather around a cozy evening fire.
Conveniently located near three Metro stations, bus routes, commuter trains, and the shops and restaurants of Old Town and Del Ray. The location also provides easy access to major commuter routes, Washington, D.C., and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The property is served by Alexandria City Public Schools. An array of exceptional private school options is also available nearby. This extraordinary home combines the warmth and character of an established Alexandria residence with the space, versatility, and amenities desired for today's style of living.
