6407 15TH ST Alexandria, VA 22307

Incredibly charming brick cape cod in the desirable neighborhood of New Alexandria, just south of Old Town Alexandria. Blooming azaleas, budding crepe myrtle, a flagstone walkway, and a brick faade with coordinating front stoop create a welcoming curb appeal that draws you into this special home. The circular layout of the main level creates an easy living flow. The spacious dining room is bright and airy with hardwood floors, crown & chair rail molding, and can easily accommodate a table for six. The living room features a cozy wood-burning fireplace with hardwood floors, built-in cabinets for extra storage, recessed lighting, and the continuation of both crown and chair rail moldings. Just off the living room is a vibrant solarium, drenched in sunshine with a natural canopy of mature trees outside, offering just the right amount of shade. From the solarium you can access the gorgeous and relaxing deck, which is just one of the highlights of this level, fenced-in backyard. With plenty of space for al-fresco dining, enjoying an evening sitting out by the firepit, and ample room to play in the yard, the unexpected gem is the custom built "garage" (24' x 19'). Calling this space a garage is an understatement, it easily holds a car with plenty of room to work on the car, there are built-in work benches, and an abundant amount of storage on the main level and the upper loft. Not a car enthusiast? This space could make a great gym, hobby shop, she-shed, man-cave, or playhouse! There is access to the garage via the back alley with additional parking out front on the parking pad. As you make your way back inside, you can also enter the home through the kitchen back door. Conveniently enough, there is a powder room just as you enter from the deck and proceed through to the kitchen which features white cabinetry, white subway tile backsplash, black granite counters, and a swing door to close off the kitchen from the dining room, if you desire. Upstairs you will find two generously sized bedrooms, with hardwood floors, that share the vintage black and white tiled full bathroom. The primary bedroom has a large walk-in closet for plenty of storage. The lower level walks out to the backyard and is currently used as a third bedroom and family room. With multiple windows and recessed lighting, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how bright the space feels and there is plenty of room to set up a home office or study area here. The utility room, with washer & dryer, provides tons of additional storage. All of this and we haven't even talked about the amazing location! Nestled in a park-like setting just off the George Washington Parkway, you will have easy access for commuting to Old Town Alexandria, Ft Belvoir, Washington DC, the Pentagon, Crystal City, Amazon HQ, and so much more. The 495/95 interchange, which also connects you to 295 & 395, is approx. 1 mile away, the Huntington Metro is less than 2 miles away, and there is a bus stop just two blocks away on Ft Hunt Rd. Also within a few blocks is the Belle View Shopping Center (groceries, restaurants, convenience store, etc) and the neighborhood restaurant (The Haven) and custard stand. The Belle Haven Marina, with boat and kayak rentals, is just across the Parkway and where you can pick up the Mt Vernon recreational trail which follows the river south to Mount Vernon (approx 8 miles) and north through Old Town, past National Airport, and on to an extensive network of trails. Open houses scheduled for May 1st & 2nd (2p-4p) Please enjoy the interactive floorplan to experience a virtual viewing of the property: https://mls.TruPlace.com/property/139/98388/
