Welcome to 4208 Alcott Street, a beautifully updated brick-front Wakefield model sited on over a quarter-acre lot backing to Huntley Meadows Park in Alexandria’s desirable Fairfield. This outstanding split foyer has great curb appeal with its handsome columns supporting the large covered front porch with Trex decking. Enter and you’re greeted by classic hardwood floors running on the steps, the living room, dining room, hallway and bedrooms. There are lots of windows bringing in natural light, contemporary light fixtures throughout and the paint is all fresh and neutral. The roof was new in 2017, the gutters new in 2022, the HVAC new in 2021, the hot water heater was new in 2014 and there are new pipes from the house to the street. The front door and lower rear door are new. You’ll find elegant crown molding in the foyer and living room and the dining room adds box and chair rail plus a ceiling medallion. From the dining room, step out to the spacious deck overlooking the wooded canopy - perfect for grilling and relaxing. Steps descend to the stamped concrete patio - an excellent fire pit/conversation area. The flat and wide rear grounds are fully fenced and there’s a useful storage shed. You’ll love the awesome kitchen with its beamed vaulted ceiling with two skylights. There’s modern white cabinetry with some glass fronts, tile backsplash in a subway pattern, sleek quartz counters, all LG appliances including a Thin Q fridge which makes two kinds of ice and a Whirlpool range hood. The floor is new, there’s a deep sink, a large bay window and a substantial pantry. Downstairs, the cheerful rec room has three windows and a newer engineered floor. Both lower-level bedrooms are generously sized and there’s a bonus reading/office room with lots of recessed lighting. The lower renovated full bath has a shower with floor-to-ceiling refined tilework and a glass barn door. The vanity, mirror, light, toilet and flooring are new too along with inset storage cubbies, two linen closets and wall cabinets. There’s also a huge laundry/storage room with the second fridge, a utility sink, work bench and door leading up to the back yard. This fine home is close to Fort Belvoir, major commuter routes, Mount Vernon and Old Town Alexandria!
