Property Description
Beautifully expanded Cape Cod blending timeless character with thoughtful improvements in the heart of Jefferson Park. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a warm and welcoming layout with a spacious living room featuring a gas fireplace and custom built-ins, a formal dining room, and a step-down family room with a wood-burning fireplace just off the kitchen and direct access to the backyard. The kitchen features freshly finished white cabinetry, new soapstone countertops, a pantry, and newer appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and Whirlpool refrigerator installed in 2022, along with a range and microwave reportedly installed in 2020. Hardwood floors extend throughout most of the main and upper levels, while the finished lower-level recreation room features LVP flooring and offers flexible space for games, hobbies or exercise. Upstairs, a spacious primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, and en suite bath is complemented by three additional bedrooms that retain the character and architectural details that make Cape Cod homes so appealing. Beyond its charm, the home has benefited from extensive investments in major systems. In 2025, a new boiler serving a two-zone hydronic heating system and a new attic air handler were installed, while the central air-conditioning system has been professionally maintained. The water heater was replaced in 2024. Additional peace-of-mind improvements include a PVC sewer line replaced to the street in 2021, a sump pump installed in 2021, and a manual generator hookup, with the generator conveying. Outside, professionally redesigned landscaping features comprehensive grading and drainage improvements, a five-zone irrigation system, new flagstone hardscaping, a new concrete driveway, mature plantings, and a fully fenced backyard designed for both play and entertaining. Outdoor living includes a low-maintenance composite deck, an expansive flagstone patio, a generous lawn, and a detached outbuilding formerly used as a one-car garage. Ideally situated in Jefferson Park, the home offers exceptional convenience to Metro and bus service, I-395, Old Town Alexandria, Del Ray, Shirlington, Reagan National Airport, and Washington, D.C. It is adjacent to the future George Mason Elementary campus, currently undergoing an approximately $70 million modernization project anticipated for completion in Summer 2027, with plans for new playgrounds, athletic facilities, community green space, and other campus improvements.

The home is also close to Alexandria Country Day School, St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School, parks, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences.
