This spacious 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers three levels of comfortable living across 2,008 square feet on a generous 0.37-acre lot. The main level features beautiful wood floors, recessed lighting, and a welcoming fireplace. The kitchen was recently renovated in 2025 with careful detail to include a large center island to fit your whole family, new custom cabinetry to include a large pantry with pull-out drawers, quartz countertops, a stainless steel farmhouse sink that overlooks the spacious backyard and water feature, beautiful lighting, and new stainless steel Kitchenaid appliances. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the dining area, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. An updated convenient main-level laundry with updated appliances (2024), and half bath add to the functionality. The finished basement provides additional living space with a bedroom and utility room offering plenty of storage.

With its generous lot, flexible living space, and thoughtful updates, this Riverside Estates home offers room to live, relax, and entertain.
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.
