Welcome to Wellington, once part of George Washington’s home estate and now one of the most sought-after communities in Alexandria, Virginia due to it’s immediate proximity to the nation’s capital, Old Towne Alexandria, Fort Belvoir and the Pentagon while affording residents with beautiful, tree-lined streets and the charm, character and relative privacy generally unheard of in Northern Virginia. With over $400,000 in upgrades and expansions, this meticulously maintained Colonial is only a block away from the Potomac River which can be viewed from its absolutely stunning wrap-around front porch across the sprawling from lawn. This in addition to its beautiful patio, deck and larger-than-average backyard. The curb appeal of this property is off the charts! The home has beautiful hardwood flooring throughout the main and much of the upper floor, two cozy fireplaces, a brand new roof [2022] and a two-car attached garage. The primary bedroom leads to two absolutely huge walk-in closets and a bathroom complete with a modern soaking tub and frameless shower. And the KITCHEN! Oh, the kitchen! Enjoy the luxury and advantage of preparing meals with your stainless steel gas range and hood; a second wall oven and built-in microwave; what seems like enough gorgeous granite countertops to land a small airplane; and even a beverage fridge for those that enjoy relaxing in their private Northern Virginia oasis after a long day at work. Rounding out the home is a fully finished lower level with a full bath and a NTC fifth bedroom. A commuter’s dream, one cannot overstate how perfectly postured this property is for those that travel to Washington DC or one of the many military installations in the area. Welcome home to 7859 SOUTHDOWN ROAD.
