Property Description

Wonderful 5-bedroom Home – an Entertainer’s Dream This 5 BR 3.5 BA Colonial is only 7 miles from the DC line, but it feels like you’re in the country. It has a floor plan designed for both comfort and entertainment and offers an exceptional blend of luxurious features, inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, and convenient access to amenities. Key Features: • Entertainer’s Paradise: The layout of the main level is designed for seamless entertaining. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the family room, where you'll find a flagstone gas fireplace, built-ins, skylights, and a cathedral ceiling with accent lighting. The deck and screened porch provide additional spaces to host gatherings or simply unwind. • Gourmet Kitchen: The heart of the home -- the kitchen -- is a chef's dream. It boasts granite countertops, stainless appliances, a wine cooler, and an inviting island with seating for three. With under-cabinet lighting, double sinks, a pantry, an eat-in area, and a bay window overlooking the expansive deck and backyard, it's a space that marries functionality and style flawlessly. • Bedrooms This home features five bedrooms, with the fifth bedroom located in the lower level along with a full bathroom – perfect for use as an au pair or in-law suite or for hosting guests. The upper floor showcases four newly-carpeted bedrooms, each adorned with ceiling fans for extra comfort. • Bathrooms Enjoy the convenience of 3.5 well-appointed bathrooms throughout the home. The primary bedroom's ensuite bath stands out with its elegant granite countertops, skylight, and modern frameless glass shower door. • Outdoor Haven: The screened porch, complete with two skylights and a ceiling fan, is a peaceful retreat that blends with the outdoors. Its mahogany flooring and cedar sides contribute to the serene atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to relax. • Curb Appeal: The exterior of this home is as charming as it is inviting, with a cedar shake roof adding a touch of elegance. The well-maintained landscaping complements the property's overall appeal. • Convenient Location: Situated within a short 15-minute drive to National Airport and offering easy access to DC, I-395, the Pentagon, the Mark Center, Bailey's Crossroads, and the shops, theaters, and restaurants of Shirlington, this home provides the best of both worlds: a tranquil oasis and proximity to urban conveniences. • Additional Information: This lovely home has special touches such as a front porch which spans the length of the house, a sprinkler system, and hardwood floors on the main level along with crown molding, chair rail, and plantation shutters. It has been freshly painted throughout, and the lower level includes a spacious storage area. The attached, two-car garage provides convenient parking as does the extra-long driveway which has room for four cars. This property, nestled on approximately 0.3 acres, is an oasis that seamlessly blends comfort, luxury, and convenience. Don't miss the opportunity to make this exceptional residence your forever home.
