Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from August 25, 2022
Utterly charming and beautifully maintained cottage in City of Alexandria’s West End, just 2.5 miles west of Old Town. This spacious Cape Cod has updates around every corner and the backyard of your dreams! This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home also features a gorgeous, remodeled kitchen, open and airy living and dining areas, and gleaming hardwood floors. The light-flooded main floor has custom-built entertainment shelving with wood storage, a wood-burning fireplace, and an open flow. New French doors in the dining room let in tons of light and invite you out to the jaw-dropping yard. The kitchen is straight out of a home decor magazine - stainless appliances, new tiled backsplash, shiplap (!), a hidden dishwasher, room for a breakfast table nook, and a counter area perfect for a coffee bar. There are two large bedrooms upstairs with updated, attached full bathrooms in each, a third on the main floor (currently used as an office and home gym, and right next to another updated full bathroom) and a fourth in the basement, perfect for a guest room or getting quiet work done. The primary bedroom has a huge walk-in closet with a big window that makes it feel more like a dressing room than storage! The home boasts a finished basement (new carpet and paint!) that can function as a family room or playroom, including a second fireplace, newly resurfaced with new mantle, surround and fireplace doors, making this space just as cozy as the main floor. Also showcasing large, multi-use space for laundry, workspace (current owners have a full wood shop!), and ample storage. And just wait until you see this backyard dream! The owners spared no expense in building an outdoor oasis with an expansive stone patio, a natural gas firepit with temperature flame sensor and built-in seating, and a significant French drain system to keep water flowing correctly in the yard. Brand-new privacy fence and ample room for a garden. If you can pull yourself away from this made-for-entertaining home, you’ll find plenty of groceries, shops & restaurants in easy distance, including Harris Teeter, Giant, and Aldi...Alexandria Commons & Shops at Foxchase...Port City Brewing, Rockland’s BBQ, Tempo (French) & more! Conveniently situated just a block away from Fort Williams Park creek and near to Whole Foods, Hoffman Town Center and all things Old Town. The 8Z bus on the street corner goes to either King Street or Pentagon. MetroAccess to 495 straight down Duke Street, and Quaker Lane and Seminary Road are just a couple turns away for access to 395.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWorking at Patrick Henry was an awful experience. The principal is a bully. Students are not engaged because the principal demands that all lessons be a specific way. The principal does not follow up on her promises. She has her minions and they keep an eye on people for her. It’s very big brother. Do not send your kids here and don’t teach here. @ACPS do something about this.Teacher Review11mo ago - Alexandria City High School

"Nice community with nice neighbors and easy accessible resources. Love the area also due to the Highway that connects north to my house "

"Lots of open space, friendly neighbors and LOTS of dogs (and kids)! People look out for one another and their dogs. The sidewalks are generally good but it does get hot on the tarmac. These are nits. Great hood!"

"Sense of community and a quiet neighborhood just steps away from all the great things Alexandria has to offer. It is eclectic, diverse and full of people who want to see the neighborhood thrive. "
- Trulia User

"Lots of open grass areas within walking distance and all well lit and frequented by many locals makes it a safe and convenient neighborhood for dog owners. Most properties including townhomes in this area also include fenced-in backyards which provide relief during the day or while away; most townhome communities also have common grassy areas for homeowners to use."

"Neighbors are fantastic. Never imagined I would live next to people so handy and thoughtful. Feel welcomed. "

"Dog friendly area specially in the small townhouses but not the big buildings . I highly recommend this area for small dogs only"

"I have lived on Ivanhoe Street for about 20 years. It is a quite, dead-end street of about 30 houses. The homes were built in the early 1960s. Most have brick exteriors, and are well-constructed. Neighbors are friendly, and there now is some "generational shift" in ownership (i.e., from long-time owners who are 60-90 to younger families and couples)."

"Good central location and lots of amenities. People are friendly enough but don’t expect to know most of your neighbors."

"We've lived in this neighborhood for more than 17 years. Neighbors are friendly, many conversations to be had walking your dogs or strolling through the tree-lined streets. Easy access to parks with walking and bike trails, DASH bus stops throughout, farmer's market, libraries, schools, shopping centers, and the dog park are all an easy walk. The babies when we moved in are all graduating now and there have been young families moving in again as houses become available. It is a vibrant, friendly community with passionate, active members. The local schools are truly special. Although the population is diverse, all come together and support one another. We love this neighborhood!"

"I have lived in the Plaza for close to six years. It’s a great place that many do not know about. There is a court yard with a garden - park like setting. It’s peaceful and the people are friendly. I have walked and done runs at night. I feel safe here."
