Bursting with character, this bright Cottage is sprinkled with contemporary touches throughout, while maintaining its classic 1940s feel. Centrally located in Alexandria, this large lot has great proximity to local shopping and dining, schools, and numerous commuter options. Radiant and charming, the white and blue exterior draws your eye up and guides guests through the front door. The layout feels larger than the 1,382 above-grade sqft, and the crown molding and chair rail details subtly elevate the interior presentation. The front entrance boasts a spacious living room with built-in bookshelves on one end and a wood-burning fireplace centering the room - imagine curling up next to a cozy fire after selecting a book or board game from the shelves to spend a relaxing evening with the family! A well-sized dining room and upgraded galley kitchen sit towards the back of the home. Gorgeous white subway tile and rich, dark cabinetry take full advantage of the vertical storage space. Stainless steel appliances add that extra "gourmet" feel, and the oversized Farmhouse sink makes after-dinner dishes easy to clean (or hide until tomorrow!). Branching off the dining room, a sunroom offers space for a bright and airy at-home office or playroom. Three generous bedrooms reside upstairs, sharing the spacious full bathroom with tub. A renovated lower level, completed in 2020, features several large, finished rooms for work, play, or exercise, with plenty of storage in the utility room. A discrete washer and dryer near the walkout stairs and a full bathroom with walk-in shower are ideal for families coming from rainy Saturday afternoon games - throw those jerseys right in the wash and clean up before even heading upstairs! The pseudo-corner lot on W Braddock provides a large yard setback from the street, keeping the property relatively quiet with neighbors on only one side. One off-street parking spot to the side of the home, plus plenty of on-street parking right out front. Fantastic location to Del Ray and Old Town for a variety of shopping and sought-after restaurants such as Grape + Bean Rosemont, Live Oak, and Junction Bakery & Bistro. Walking distance to Naomi Brooks Elementary School (8 minutes) and George Washington Middle School (10 minutes). Plenty of parks and playgrounds just a quick walk from your yard. A 17-minute walk to Braddock Metro Station to catch the Yellow or Blue lines for commuters, and a short drive to I-395 for those who prefer to drive to work.
