Professional photos will be added Monday afternoon! Welcome to this wonderful Beverley Hills colonial situated on a lovely, landscaped lot. This 5 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home has been nicely expanded and maintained since it was built in 1949. Upon entering through a lovely wooden front door, you walk into the main level with hardwood floors throughout. The spacious living room in front of you, large enough for a baby grand piano on your right, has a romantic gas fireplace with marble hearth. From the living room you can step down to the light-filled family room through French doors. The family room has a large bay window with window seat, two skylights, built-in bookcases, and access (again through French doors) to the 3-tiered deck in the backyard. The decks overlook a level, fully fenced rear-yard and offers lots of room to entertain and eat al fresco. Step down to a patio to enjoy a chilly evening next to a cast iron fireplace that conveys. The kitchen has been completely redesigned and renovated and includes granite counters, stainless steel appliances (including gas stove), a ceramic floor, garden window, and a cozy breakfast counter for casual meals for three. For more formal meals and larger gatherings, dine in the very spacious dining room with 5 windows on two sides, a large skylight, and chair railing. The main floor also includes a renovated bedroom/office off the dining room with a full bath (shower), closet and direct access to the backyard deck. Proceed to the upper level that has 4 bedrooms. The primary bedroom ensuite added in 1986 is bright and airy with lots of windows, a cathedral ceiling, ceiling fan, skylight, closet and separate heating and cooling unit. The primary bath with large shower was completely renovated in 2020. The three other bedrooms with hardwood floors are served by a large full bathroom renovated in 2022 with a double sink and tub/shower. The lower level has a rec room perfect for game night and/or exercise area. This level also has a half bath, laundry room and extra storage room. You can access the one car garage through the storage room. Almost all of the house has been freshly painted with neutral colors to fit any decor. Outside there are many mature trees, including oaks, a maple, a dogwood, a cherry, holly, and a beautiful magnolia. There are many azaleas getting ready to bloom and other mature plantings throughout the yard. A backyard shed can store all your gardening pots and tools. Stroll around the immediate neighborhood and visit nearby parks - Beverley Park (the "Pit") or Monticello Park and see the warblers in the spring - or walk to the nearby elementary school. You're minutes from charming Del Ray and Shirlington restaurants and shops, and you also have easy access to Old Town Alexandria, the Pentagon, Reagan National Airport, D.C. and major highways.
