Move in ready, but it could use some DYI work (mostly painting) This Cape Cod style home is located in the George Mason Elementary School district in the City of Alexandria.

This home has three levels, including the basement and a oversize garage and carport. The main level features two bedrooms, full bath, living and dining room combination, kitchen, and den. The upper level has two rooms and a full bath. The bright lower level is very large with a "L" shaped rec room, a powder room and a utility/storage room with stairs leading to the back yard and garage. In the recent past, this style of home may have been considered "boxy" but with the need for frequent Zoom meetings and working from home, this home's space is essential for today's lifestyle. Let's talk location...Across the street is the entrance to the Monticello Park, one of the city's wildlife sanctuaries where you can have peaceful walks, or run with your dog, and explore the numerous birds that live and transit through this park. Two blocks away is the recreation park behind George Mason Elementary School that offers a playground, baseball/soccer fields and tennis courts. If you work in DC, you will not encounter a traffic light until you reach DC; and bus stops are located at either end of Monticello Blvd at Russell Rd or Cameron Mills Rd. Quick commutes to most military bases, especially the Pentagon and Mark Center, plus many others. If you love going to restaurants, you are in between Del Ray and Shirlington--lots of options!
