A standout offering in Riverside Estates, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath split-foyer pairs refined interior spaces with an exceptional 0.39-acre setting and private in-ground pool. The bright, open-concept main level creates an effortless flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, highlighted by hardwood floors and abundant natural light. The renovated kitchen serves as the centerpiece with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, and a center island. The adjoining living area offers views overlooking the backyard and pool, bringing the outdoor setting into the heart of the home. Three bedrooms and two updated full baths complete the main level. The expansive lower level offers impressive versatility, featuring a spacious recreation room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelving, an additional bedroom, full bath, and a separate flex room ideal for a home office, gym, playroom, or hobby space. Direct access to the backyard extends the living space outdoors. The backyard is the signature feature, a private retreat centered around an in-ground swimming pool with a dedicated fenced pool area, complemented by a large, level yard with a playground and ample space for outdoor dining, recreation, gardening, and entertaining. Additional highlights include an outdoor brick grill, storage shed, attached carport with a dedicated outlet suitable for EV charging, driveway parking, and a fenced rear yard. Set within established Riverside Estates with no HOA, the property combines generous indoor and outdoor living with convenient access to Fort Belvoir, Mount Vernon, Old Town Alexandria, the George Washington Memorial Parkway, parks, trails, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. A distinctive opportunity offering the space, privacy, pool, and versatility that are increasingly difficult to find in this part of Alexandria.
Waldon Woods, located between Fort Hunt Road and the George Washington Memorial Parkway, is a residential and wooded Mount Vernon neighborhood with curving cul-de-sacs and a Potomac River backdrop. The neighborhood reads as classic Northern Virginia: brick colonials and split-levels set behind tall trees and deep lawns. Character concentrates around the Fort Hunt Road corridor near Sherwood Hall Lane, where coffee counters, local takeout spots, and everyday services set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Community pillars nearby include Cedar Knoll Restaurant, the Workhouse Arts Center, and George Washington’s Mount Vernon for dining, arts, and local history. Trails and river overlooks along the Parkway shape weekend routines, while nearby parks keep the pace outdoorsy and calm.
