Hidden behind an unassuming facade, this stunning architectural gem delivers one of a kind dramatic surprises. The original rambler was expanded and completely renovated with a striking multi-level modern design. The stylish interior is finished with expert craftsmanship and timeless appeal with a beautifully updated gourmet kitchen and luxurious spa bathrooms that will take your breath away, as will the fenced in paradise of nature with multiple outdoor living spaces. The garage/workshop has an installed subpanel with 20amp breakers, outlets, and 220v service. Upscale materials include beautiful Teragren Portfolio engineered bamboo flooring in the living room, library, three bedrooms and hallways, and Italian Dorado tile in the gourmet kitchen, dining room, sunroom and select baths, and elegant marble that surrounds the fireplace wall and the entrance hall. Every detail is embraced with brushed nickel hardware and light fixtures. The lovely, open kitchen features soaring ceilings adorned with skylights, new custom cabinets, sparkling granite counters, high-end stainless-steel appliances by Wolfe and Bosch, and an enameled farmhouse sink. The open, airy main level features stunning walls of windows, rich solid white oak trim complimenting and elevating the architectural design work, four skylights that flood the rooms with natural light, and elegant arches distinguishing the living spaces. Two functioning wood-burning fireplaces add warmth and style. Five bright bedrooms in the home provide ample space for family and guests, and offer versatility for au pair quarters, craft space, office, or home gym. There is also a huge, finished lower level with a functional kitchenette, large entertaining or game space, two bedrooms, plus a separate back entry. Practical features include Andersen windows, five ceiling fans, new upgraded smoke/carbon monoxide detector system, and Verizon FiOS services are available, as well as dual zoned hvac air filtration with Aprilaire purification system. The young roof was replaced in 2012. Freshly painted interior and exterior in 2020. This quiet, peaceful property is perfect for casual enjoyment, gardening or extravagant entertaining. You will love the serene outdoor patio and deck areas throughout the seasons, shaded by towering mature pin oaks and surrounded by well-developed landscaping with a mixture of perennials, annuals, herbs, raspberries, blueberries and figs. Box wood, acuba, nandina, hollies and laurel maintain color through the winter and a row of fast growing arborvitae evergreens have been planted to help preserve the privacy of the backyard. Enjoy your own harvest from a perfectly proportioned vegetable garden three seasons out of the year. All this nestled close to the GW Parkway surrounded by nature and hiking trails, yet minutes to DC, Old Town, Pentagon, Washington Airport, Fort Belvoir, and the Metro. There is so much to love about this unique home.
