This beautiful, 5BR / 3.5BA updated Colonial is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in Alexandria and offers the very best of both worlds: a commuter's dream with easy access to Washington DC, Ft Belvoir and the Pentagon while simultaneously serving as a private sanctuary for those wishing to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and enjoy it's beautifully landscaped, oversized yard and deck. The main floor of this Newport model is designed for entertaining and is centered around the heart of this wonderful home: the open chef's kitchen that includes natural gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, a preparatory island, and lots and lots of granite counter space. Making this kitchen even more extraordinary is the large breakfast room with its high ceilings and wall of oversized windows looking out on to the beautiful lawn. In addition to the 2,280 sf of finished living space, this property offers another 750+ sf of highly renovated living space in the fully finished walk-out basement with a very large fifth bedroom and full bath. Step down from the deck onto the picturesque, multi-tiered private backyard and you will not want to leave! Perfectly located less than 1 mile to Huntington Metro, 2.5 miles to the heart of Old Town Alexandria and less than 5 miles to Reagan International Airport.
