Perfectly set on a flat and expansive half acre in a quiet, established pocket of Alexandria, 7739 Schelhorn Rd presents a refined take on modern farmhouse living, where thoughtful design, everyday functionality, and a true sense of place come together effortlessly. Built in 2018, the home is introduced by a slate walkway and welcoming covered front porch, opening into a light filled interior defined by 10 foot ceilings, wide plank white oak floors, and a clean, cohesive aesthetic throughout. The foyer offers a seamless flow into the main living spaces, where a formal dining room framed by floor to ceiling windows creates a striking setting for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both polished and highly functional, featuring shaker cabinetry with soft close construction, quartz countertops, a marble backsplash, and a statement island with leathered granite and seating, all opening to a bright living room anchored by a marble wrapped fireplace and surrounded by windows and glass doors that lead directly to the outdoor spaces. Designed for the way people live today, the main level includes a private office, a well appointed mudroom with built-ins and porcelain tile floors, and a spacious bedroom suite with a full bath, offering flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged alongside a full laundry room with cabinetry. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a custom walk-in closet and a beautifully finished bath featuring heated tile floors, a double vanity, soaking tub, oversized frameless shower with dual heads and rain feature, and a private water closet. Secondary bedrooms offer ample space and storage, complemented by a well designed hall bath with dual sinks and quality finishes. The outdoor experience is equally compelling, curated to feel like a private escape. A 14x33 inground pool with automatic cover, expansive patio, and composite deck create a seamless extension of the home, ideal for both relaxed afternoons and larger gatherings. A pea gravel fire feature area adds another layer for evening enjoyment, while the fully fenced yard is enhanced by mature landscaping, flowering and fruit bearing trees, and an exceptional sense of privacy. A large detached shed with electricity offers endless flexibility as a workshop, gym, or future finished space, and the oversized driveway provides ample parking along with space for recreation. Beyond the property, the location continues to deliver. Just a short walk to Sherwood Regional Library, residents enjoy access to a weekly farmers market and community events that create a genuine neighborhood connection. Positioned just south of Old Town Alexandria, the home offers quick access to Route 1, the GW Parkway, and the Huntington Metro, making commuting into DC, National Harbor, or Reagan National Airport remarkably convenient. At the same time, you remain minutes from Old Town’s restaurants, boutiques, waterfront, and the Mount Vernon Trail, allowing for an easy transition between quiet residential living and the vibrancy of Alexandria’s most loved destinations. This is a home for the buyer seeking space, calm, and a true neighborhood feel, without sacrificing access, design, or lifestyle.
