Welcome to 414 W. Braddock Road, a welcoming, quintessential Alexandria residence in the coveted Braddock Heights Community. Be wowed by the curb appeal radiating from this charming and elegant brick home; surrounded by stunning white and brick fencing, mature trees, flagstone walkways, and a private driveway. Enjoy 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Don’t be deceived by the address, this home is nestled on a wooded, private cul-de-sac off Ruffner Road. Gleaming original hardwoods and custom millwork welcome you into the foyer and are found throughout much of the main and bedroom levels. The longtime owner (52 years!) has meticulously maintained and updated every room in this residence. A traditional floorplan is wedded with a perfect flow. Easy elegance meets entertaining perfection. The main living level highlights include a private dining room with planation shutters, a sophisticated living room with custom built-ins surrounding a warm gas fireplace boasting a custom mantel. French Doors welcome you from the living room to the sun-drenched morning room/sun porch just off the updated kitchen with access to a lovely flagstone patio. The flooring in the morning room and the kitchen are classic Vermont Slate. Kitchen highlights include Craftsman cabinetry with honed black granite countertops, black designer cabinet pulls and newer appliances. As you walk up to the first bedroom level, relish 2 amply sized bedrooms with hardwoods and a large full hall bathroom. Up a few more stairs, you will enter the serene owner’s suite highlighted by an en-suite updated full bath. Stunning views of the private rear yard are enhanced by custom plantation shutters. The lower level boasts a large family room (with plenty of room for an office or 4th bedroom) with another lovely gas fireplace, built-in book shelves, a convenient and updated powder room and access to the flagstone patio in the stunningly landscaped, level, gated and fenced private back yard. Truly perfect outdoor entertaining and enjoyment await your family and friends as you enjoy flowering trees and flora almost year-round. Down a few more stairs to the basement, you will find the laundry room and abundant storage. Amazing close-in location with walkability to Braddock Road Metro and an easy drive to 395, Reagan National Airport, Old Town, The Pentagon, The District, Shirlington, and Del Ray. Welcome home!
