This adorable storybook Cape is ready to write its next chapter after more than a decade of love and impeccable care from its current owners. Don't be fooled by the charming, modest exterior...this turnkey home offers *multiple* additions to the original floorplan! From the front foyer bump out -- an essential drop zone for shoes and packages -- to the spacious, open rear addition -- an invaluable sun-soaked bonus room that serves as a large but comfortable dining space or gathering spot -- this versatile home offers a whopping 2,400 square feet of living space! Classic, timeless features such as solid plank hardwood flooring span the living and sleeping spaces of the top two levels, while a cozy wood burning fireplace and upgraded recessed lighting round out the living area. The expanded, updated kitchen -- a true showpiece of this home -- inevitably lures you in. With a reimagined and expanded layout creating two open rooms that function as one: an enormous chef's kitchen with seemingly endless countertop and cabinet space, and an incredible multi-purpose 12' by 13' addition with sliding glass doors to the massive main level deck - this is an entertainer's dream! Beyond the main level upgrades and additions that set this home apart, the features continue upstairs! A modified rear roofline creates comfortable ceiling heights across the top floor and provides true functionality to this space. Beginning at a central landing area --perfect for a book nook -- and connecting to both bedrooms, each square foot is well utilized. The top floor secondary bedroom offers endless versatility, easily functioning as a nursery, home office, Peloton room, playroom, den, or even a spacious walk-in closet. The adjacent owner's suite, however, is the true highlight! This generously sized room features custom built-in closet systems, an updated full bathroom, and a one-of-a-kind private balcony. This is a unique space that truly feels like an escape. On the lower level (yes, there are three levels!), you’ll find a sunlit recreation room with custom built-ins and recessed lighting—the ideal spot for movie nights or sports viewings. A bonus flex room, complete with natural light and a door for privacy, conveniently connects to the adjacent rec room and offers true flexibility as an office, home gym, or playroom. A full bathroom, laundry area, and additional storage complete this level. When you're ready to head outdoors and take in fresh air throughout the seasons, you won't have to go farther than your own backyard. The huge main level deck offers ample space for dining and lounging, with its own covered area created by the balcony above. The backyard is fully fenced, flat, and features direct access to the one-car detached garage complete with a huge storage area. And don’t overlook the front yard—an oasis all its own. With flowering hydrangeas and a mature, fruit-bearing persimmon tree, it’s the perfect place to linger and greet neighbors. All of this is just minutes from major commuter routes! Located just 1 mile from Falls Church City, 1.5 miles from East Falls Church Metro, blocks to Route 50 and public transportation, and only 8 miles from Washington, D.C.—this location is hard to beat. With the warmth and vibrancy of the City Park community right outside your door, you may never want to leave.
