About this home
Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Mt. Vernon Hills community, this beautifully renovated split foyer offers the perfect blend of modern luxury, thoughtful craftsmanship, and exceptional outdoor living. Situated on an expansive double lot totaling approximately 8,800 square feet, the property provides a substantially larger homesite than currently reflected in tax records, creating a rare opportunity for enhanced outdoor enjoyment, entertaining, and future possibilities.
From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed by a bright open-concept design filled with natural light and curated designer finishes throughout. The stunning gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, showcasing oversized quartz waterfall countertops, 42-inch cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, under-cabinet LED lighting, and contemporary fixtures that seamlessly combine style and functionality. The adjoining dining area overlooks the spacious backyard and newly added concrete stone patio, creating a beautiful connection between the indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Elegant custom details elevate the home at every turn, including modern wainscoting, designer accent walls, upgraded trim work, stylish metal railings, and a striking statement chandelier. Wide-plank engineered hardwood flooring extends throughout both levels and staircases, complemented by fresh neutral paint and cohesive high-end finishes that reflect the exceptional care and attention invested into this residence.
The main level offers three spacious bedrooms and two beautifully renovated bathrooms, including a well-appointed primary suite bath. The fully finished walkout lower level provides exceptional flexibility with a large family room centered around a cozy fireplace, an additional bedroom or den, a third full bathroom, dedicated laundry area with new washer and dryer, utility space, and direct access to the attached oversized garage. Finished with a decorative epoxy-coated floor, the oversized garage offers both durability and a polished custom appearance that is sure to impress.
Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the walkout lower level opens directly to the newly installed concrete stone patio and beautifully manicured level homesite, creating a true extension of the living space outdoors. The expansive backyard offers exceptional usability, privacy, and curb appeal, while a detached storage shed adds additional convenience and functionality.
Extensive improvements throughout the home provide lasting peace of mind, including a new HVAC system, water heater, architectural roof shingles, gutters, vinyl windows, exterior doors, garage door, updated lighting, trim, and tons of modern finishes throughout.
Perfectly located just minutes from George Washington's Mount Vernon, the George Washington Memorial Parkway, and Fort Belvoir, this exceptional home offers turnkey living, a premium oversized lot, and the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and location. Ideally situated near major commuter routes, Metro access, and Fairfax Connector bus lines, the home provides easy access to Old Town Alexandria, National Landing, the The Pentagon, and Washington, D.C. — placing many of Northern Virginia’s most desirable destinations within convenient reach.
