Welcome to this gorgeous, rarely available end-unit townhome in sought-after Charlestown, offering approximately 2,300 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. From the moment you step into the signature foyer with its grand curved staircase, you’ll appreciate the extensive upgrades & custom design throughout this all-brick home. The main level features an open-concept layout rarely found in the neighborhood, flowing seamlessly from the foyer through the living & dining rooms into the stunning kitchen, remodeled in 2023 & truly the heart of the home. Espresso Shaker cabinetry with soft-close dovetail drawers, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet & recessed lighting, & a large breakfast island make this one of the premier kitchens in all of Charlestown. Both the kitchen & dining room open to an expansive, one-of-a-kind brick patio, complete with a flat-screen TV setup that’s perfect for fall football or movie nights under the stars. Stroll past the storage shed & lovely plant beds, then through the back gate to your two assigned parking spaces. Upstairs, beautifully refinished hardwood floors (2026) continue from much of the main level. The spacious primary suite offers an updated en-suite bath & a large walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms (the third with its own walk-in closet) & an updated hall bath complete the light-filled upper level. The finished lower level is made for both entertaining & everyday living, with a distinctive slate floor, a cozy fireplace, recessed lighting, & a generous laundry and storage room. Noteable updates include a new washer & dryer (2026), a new water heater (2025), & double-pane insulated windows. Enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle with HOA services that cover exterior painting, roof replacement, gutter cleaning, trash & recycling, snow & leaf removal, grounds maintenance, playground upkeep, & more. Ideally located in the highly regarded West Springfield High School pyramid, this home offers exceptional commuter convenience: a Pentagon Metro bus stop nearby, the Rolling Road VRE station just 1.6 miles away, quick access to I-95, I-395, and I-495, and close proximity to Fort Belvoir & the Franconia-Springfield Metro. Nearby pools, playgrounds, and walking trails add to the appeal, along with easy access to beautiful Lake Accotink Park. Welcome Home!
Charlestown, located between Old Keene Mill Road and Rolling Road, is a residential and wooded West Springfield neighborhood with mid-century colonials and a quiet, cul-de-sac street plan. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Old Keene Mill Rd & Rolling Rd crossroads, where a tight cluster of local storefronts and everyday errands sets the pace. Nearby community pillars include The Workhouse Arts Center, Hidden Pond Nature Center, and the Audrey Moore RECenter for arts, trails, and recreation. Sidewalk-light lanes and mature trees frame brick-front homes and split-levels with deep setbacks. Green corridors connect to neighborhood parks and stream valleys, shaping a walk-and-ride outdoor rhythm. Commuter routes thread toward Springfield’s rail and retail hubs without changing the calm residential feel.
