A safe haven from the frantic pace of the city, 1631 Preston Road offers today's buyers a taste of 1940s charm while providing the modern necessities we've all grown accustomed to. With a private entrance, patio and a nostalgic brick facade, walking in through the front door you are presented with a short staircase that leads to an open, bright and convenient main living space. With a freshly painted interior, this home is the very definition of move-in ready. The main living spaces are very versatile but are ideal for setting up as a comfortable living room and separate dining space for entertaining. The living room is open and spacious. The cozy kitchen has had a complete make-over to include all new appliances, new fixtures, an under-mount sink, and sleek light granite countertops for a very chic and modern vibe. Moving to the upper level there are two bedrooms, a full bathroom and stacked washer and dryer for added convenience. Being located in the sought after community of Parkfairfax, easy living is a reality being so close to Shirlington Village with a smorgasbord of cafes, restaurants, and community activities at your fingertips and the added bonus of great amenities like an outdoor pool, just in time for the summer, tennis courts, tot lots and a fitness center.
