With 4 with possible 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a 3-car driveway, no HOA fees, and direct access to parkland from the backyard, this is a rare opportunity you won't want to miss! Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the beautifully refinished original hardwood floors flowing throughout the main level. The welcoming foyer opens to a spacious front room that can easily serve as a living room, family room, or flexible gathering space. Continue into the updated kitchen featuring new quartz countertops, updated appliances, and classic cabinetry that perfectly blends timeless charm with today's conveniences.

Both full bathrooms have been completely remodeled with beautiful ceramic tile, stylish fixtures, and modern finishes. The main level also offers thoughtful updates including GFCI electrical protection and remote-controlled ceiling fans. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms,. A spacious full bathroom and additional storage complete the upper level, giving everyone room to spread out. But the views are what truly set this home apart. 3 of the bedrooms offer beautiful views of Mount Vernon Park, and the backyard provides direct access to the parkland. In the winter, when the leaves fall, the views become even more spectacular, revealing scenic vistas toward Washington, D.C. and National Harbor across the river. Outside, enjoy the convenience of a 3-car driveway, a private backyard, and direct access to the surrounding parkland. And with NO HOA fees, you have even more freedom to enjoy your property your way. With its classic Cape Cod charm, freshly refinished hardwood floors, remodeled bathrooms, updated kitchen, flexible 5-bedroom layout, vaulted primary bedroom, park views, direct park access, 3-car driveway, and no HOA, this Alexandria home offers a combination of features that is exceptionally hard to find.
