**A Full Acre of Possibility Awaits! Zoned R2 ** This expansive property opens the door to exciting opportunities - whether you envision a secondary residential dwelling, a future lot subdivision, or a grower's dream with room to cultivate to your heart's content. Rarely does a lot this size come to market with this kind of flexibility in Alexandria. *All potential uses, including subdivision and additional construction, are subject to buyer verification and proper due diligence with local planning and zoning authorities.* Tucked on a rare one-acre setting, 8538 Woodlawn Ct (Zoned R2) offers bright, updated living spaces, flexible room options, and a large unfinished basement ready for your vision.

A bedroom and a bright full bathroom on this level provide convenient main-floor living. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer comfortable retreats; the primary bedroom is enhanced by its own convenient half bathroom. Throughout the home, refreshed finishes and hardwood floors add to the inviting feel, and the expansive unfinished basement delivers abundant storage and outstanding potential for a future rec room, workshop, home gym, or additional finished living area-all complemented by the privacy, play space, and gardening possibilities of the deep one-acre lot. This home also offers impressive efficiency and comfort upgrades. A Carrier Infinity central air system with 5"‘stage smart heat pump provides precise, energy"‘saving climate control year"‘round. In addition, the roof is equipped with a 6 kW solar system that is fully paid off, giving the next owner the benefit of reduced electric bills. Outside, the deep one-acre lot gives you an unusually private yard for Alexandria, while nearby Woodlawn Park, George Washington's Mount Vernon, and the Potomac Riverfront put trails, history, and nature just a short drive from your front door, along with convenient shopping, dining, and commuter routes along Richmond Highway.
