1425 Knox Place, Alexandria, VA 22304

Property Description

The first opportunity in 50+ years now presents itself with the listing of 1425 Knox Place in Seminary Hills: the ideal combination of location, size, layout, and a peaceful setting. Perfectly sited atop a gentle rise at the head of the Knox Pl. cul-de-sac, this deceptively large rambler boasts 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 half bath and offers a unique opportunity to enjoy generous 1 level living... with the added bonus of a full basement with 2 walk outs; and it’s situated on a large .28 acre lot to boot. The main level of this meticulously maintained home boasts almost 2,100 finished square feet that includes 4 spacious bedrooms, oversized living room with windows to the backyard, attached dining room, and family room with gas fireplace and a half bath, all with the original hardwood floors. The extended eat-in kitchen offers an efficient hub to these rooms as well as to the walk-in pantry, the convenient same-floor laundry room, and the screened porch, which itself is perfect for al fresco dining, simply relaxing, or unloading the car. The primary suite has an en suite bathroom and large walk-in closet, while the other 3 generously sized bedrooms share a conveniently located hall bath. If this amount of space wasn't enough, nearly half of the almost-2000 sq ft lower level is finished and features a 5th bedroom, full bath, and a very large rec room with wood burning fireplace & rough-in for a wet bar. The other side of the lower level is a massive (roughly 1,000 sq ft) work room/storage area that could easily convert into space for a home gym, man cave, or indoor she-shed if one desired, with room left over for storage. There is also a great 11-foot work bench that is just waiting for your tools & projects. With 2 lower level entrances, this level presents an opportunity for a private guest suite, au pair suite, or a multigenerational home. An additional benefit is a Honeywell backup generator that will keep you comfortable no matter what is happening outside, adding piece of mind against any potential power outages. The location is a commuter's dream with just 2 traffic lights to I-395, the Pentagon, and DC. Plus, you can enjoy the close proximity to the Mark Center, shopping, and surface street routes into Old Town, the Ballston/Rosslyn corridor, and Shirlington for food, friends, and entertainment.
