Nestled among the beautiful trees of Hollin Hill and White Oak Park, this well-loved home provides the joys of country living all while being close enough to commute by bike to Washington D.C. on the nearby trails, as the current owner does. This stately home is ideally located near Old Town Alexandria, the Mount Vernon trail, Huntley Meadows Park, and is a short drive into Washington D.C. The canopy of trees perfectly frames the classy red brick and welcomes company. You will enjoy the wonderful flow, wood floors, and natural light-filled rooms. An in-law suite with a bedroom, two bathrooms, living room, kitchenette, and separate entrance offers opportunities for multi-generational living, an au-pair, out-of-town guests, or rental income. Enjoy the large master suite or work out in your own private gym. At the end of a long day working from home in your own corner office, relax in the recently hardscaped backyard to see if you can catch a glimpse of the neighborhood owl, an elusive bald eagle, or a herd of deer. The large yard provides plenty of space for the children to play on the tree swing or trampoline. This home offers plenty of space for the gardener and you will delight in the blueberries, cherries, and european figs that ripen in late August. The oversized two-car garage provides space for woodworking or other hobbies. In the winter months, cozy up to any of the three wood-burning fireplaces spread throughout the house. There is plenty of space for storage in the full basement or oversized garage. Delight in the details of the wainscotting, hardwood shiplap, ceiling beams, and bay windows.
