**Over 5,000 square feet of luxury living.** This custom-built craftsman colonial offers a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind showstopper on a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac in Alexandria. Notable features include hand-scraped hickory floors, designer lighting, custom millwork, and spacious rooms throughout. The living room has a gas fireplace with a granite surround, flanked by built-in storage, and enjoys a corner exposure with a wall of windows for fantastic natural light. A grand staircase separates the living room from the large, eat-in kitchen. This true chefs kitchen has white shaker cabinetry, a large, central island with a breakfast bar, and is outfitted with honed Carrara marble countertops and backsplash and stainless-steel appliances including a 5-burner gas cooktop. The walk-in pantry with a built-in desk offers plentiful storage and utility, while the adjacent mudroom has a custom cabinet for coats and shoes and provides access to the 2-car garage. The main level is completed by a formal dining room with beautiful wainscoting and crown moldings, an office, and a full bathroom. Upstairs find four large bedrooms with three En-suite bathrooms. The massive owners suite has two walk-in closets with custom storage and a spa inspired bathroom with a walk-in shower, two separate vanities, and a handsome clawfoot tub. A laundry room is conveniently located on the upper level and has a side-by-side Samsung washer and dryer. The fully finished lower level is an entertainers dream come true! Enjoy movie nights in the home theater with its premium EPSON projector, 108-inch velvet framed fixed screen, and studio quality surround sound speakers (by Definitive Technology). Prepare your favorite cocktail at the full-size bar, finished with quartz countertops and a subway tile backsplash, and including a kitchenette with a built-in wine cooler, refrigerator, and freezer. A gorgeous wine room will store and display even the most extensive collection (up to 650 bottles) and features custom wood wine racks, a tasting arch, and encaustic floor tile. The lower level also has a bonus game room with an Olhausen pool table (conveys) and a full bathroom. Enjoy the serenity and privacy of the fully fenced backyard, with over half an acre of thoughtful landscaping and raised garden beds shaded by cherry blossom and fig trees. The recently built rear deck (over 500 sq ft) features maintenance free TREX decking and soft uplighting. Relax on the covered front porch or invite friends to sit around the stone fire pit and patio. This home is located in close proximity to the Mt. Vernon trail, farmers market, shopping and dining in Old Town, and offers an easy commute to DC.
