Welcome home to this beautiful slice of heaven. In a prime location near shopping, dining, recreation and entertainment, this gorgeous townhome is only three years young and in pristine condition. Three levels with bump outs and balconies are all washed in delightful natural light. The open floor plan on the main level includes a lovely dining area, living room with gas fireplace, a cozy extra seating area and a gorgeous kitchen with quartz countertops, an oversized island - large enough for five comfy bar chairs - abundant cabinetry, two pantry closets and a handy half bath. Upstairs there are three bedrooms including the expanded primary suite that spans the rear of this level with its own private balcony, two large walk-in closets and primary bath with a spa shower, double vanity and private loo. The laundry room and a second full bath are on this level as well. On the lower level, there is a recreation room, currently being used as an in-law/au pair or guest suite, with another large walk-in closet, full bath and sliding glass door to its own private patio. There is also access to the garage here, with a well appointed mud room area complete with shelving, cubbies and coat closet. This special property backs to a permanently protected wooded pocket garden and the community park where you will find a handsome gazebo, stone seating walls, benches, picnic tables and paths. Located in the vibrant community of Potomac Trace in Alexandria, it is easy walking distance to the Sherwood Hall Library, where the McCutcheon Farmers market runs weekly from May through November, INOVA Mount Vernon hospital and many shopping/dining options at the Mount Vernon Plaza Shopping Center and surrounding area. It is a short drive to the Potomac River, Reagan National Airport, historic Old Town Alexandria and all of the amenities that the greater Metro area has to offer!
