Property Description
Upstairs, you'll find original hardwood floors, large windows that flood the home with natural light and fresh air, and a bright, functional layout. The upper level features a separate living room, perfect for gathering, play, or winding down at the end of the day. The primary bedroom includes an en suite bath and two separate closets. Three additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom complete the upper floor.
Downstairs, enjoy a fully equipped kitchen with new quartz counters and bright white cabinetry, an eat-in area, a separate dining room, and an inviting recreation room featuring the second of two wood-burning fireplaces—this one with a gas log insert. Step right out to the private back deck, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The versatile 5th bedroom/den on the lower level is perfect as an office, gym, playroom, or guest suite.
Additional highlights include updated kitchen appliances and mechanical systems, newer carpet and flooring on the lower level, a spacious fenced and terraced side yard, expanded parking, and more!
Enjoy convenient access to scenic walking trails that connect to several parks and bike paths, leading you into charming Old Town Alexandria or the vibrant heart of Washington, DC. For food lovers, this area is a hidden gem—home to some of Northern Virginia's top-rated, award-winning restaurants, all within a 2-mile radius. Plus, you're just about an hour's drive from the region's renowned wineries.
Commuting is a breeze with I-395 just 1.5 miles away. You're approximately 6 miles from Old Town Alexandria and Reagan National Airport, with a short drive to major landmarks like the Pentagon, Amazon HQ2, Fort Belvoir, and Tysons Corner.
This home is served by Fairfax County Public Schools and local government services. Just around the corner is the Dowden Terrace community pool, and the neighborhood benefits from active involvement by the Seminary West Civic Association.
This move-in-ready gem combines charm, space, and flexibility in a tranquil setting—don't miss the opportunity to make it yours!
