Property Description
Offer Deadline: Monday 3/30 12:00 noon. Exceptional 3-bedroom, 3 full-bath home in Duke Gardens, right in the heart of Alexandria City. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, this home blends custom finishes, smart updates, and a highly functional layout. From the moment you arrive, the custom brick driveway sets the tone. Inside, the main and upper levels feature luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting throughout, and a completely custom open-concept kitchen designed to stand out. The kitchen offers an island with seating and added cabinet storage, stainless steel appliances, and a layout that opens beautifully for everyday living and entertaining. The main level also includes a full bath with shower, a rare and useful feature. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, a custom hall bathroom, and pull-down attic access for additional storage. The lower level offers an expanded rec room, laundry room, custom full bathroom, and walk-out access to the backyard. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced side and rear yard, a new patio, and a large shed for added storage and utility. All of this in a location that is hard to beat. Walking distance to Port City Brewing, plus shops, restaurants, and groceries at Fox Chase. Just minutes from the future Inova Alexandria Hospital and Inova Schar Cancer Institute, expected to open in 2028. This is not a cookie-cutter renovation. It is a custom home with style, function, and convenience in one of Alexandria's most accessible locations. Come see it, fall in love, and make your offer.
