Property Description

Welcome Home to the Palisades. Look no further as you've found the home that checks all the boxes! This stunning 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath home greets you with warmth and charm from the moment you pull into the driveway. The inviting front porch serves as a private retreat away from the street. You won't find any carpet in this home; the main and upper levels feature oak floors and commercial grade tile throughout, and the basement floor has been finished with industrial grade Spartacote® polyaspartic coating. The spacious living room leads to the formal dining room which features a large bay window, crown molding, and chair rail. The completely remodeled kitchen showcases upgraded grey shaker style cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, brushed nickel hardware, large format 2' x 2' commercial grade tile, modern backsplash, deep undermount stainless steel sink, under cabinet lighting, recessed lighting, and a pantry closet. The breakfast nook is perfect for an informal meal and the ideal spot to watch the visiting birds through the additional bay window while sipping your morning coffee. The kitchen opens up to the large family room that features exposed wooden beams, a gas fireplace, and direct access to the newly built deck. Step through the french doors to the private oasis of a backyard which will win you over. This setting is like none other, backing to a creek and county protected parkland. The mature landscaping has been carefully tended to and welcomes an array of wildlife to enjoy. The main level also features a fully renovated powder room and direct main level access to the finished 2-car garage which reflects more care and attention to detail. You'll appreciate the newly finished epoxy floors in the garage which make cleaning up much easier. The upper level features spacious bedrooms, and the laundry has been relocated to the hallway, making laundry day a cinch. The sound-insulated laundry closet features a large capacity LG Washer & Dryer set that has been stacked to create more space for storage. However, there is plenty of room to place them side by side as well. The Primary Bedroom Suite is what HGTV dreams are made of, featuring two large walk-in closets and a separate linen/storage closet. The Primary Bath has a large double vanity with quartz countertop, large shower with mosaic detail niche, glass enclosure, skylight, and all new fixtures. The secondary bedrooms are all equally spacious and offer plenty of storage. The renovated second floor hall bathroom also has a skylight. The finished walk-out basement offers so many options for its use, such as a recreational space, additional family room, a home office, or enclose the space to create a more secluded bedroom. The basement also features a full bath with a shower, mosaic accented niche, and all new fixtures as well as a large utility and storage room. Beyond all the cosmetic upgrades, the home has had many of the major components replaced: DaVinci Composite Shake Roof (Replaced in 2023 with a 10 year limited workmanship & labor warranty transferrable to new buyer), 50 gallon Power Vent Hot Water Heater (2021), Sump Pump (2018), Radon Mitigation System (2018), Deck (2024), Garage Door (2018), Sliding Glass Doors (2018), and Side Exterior Door (2023). The Palisades is truly a unique gem of a neighborhood. The location is close to major roads (Seminary/7/395/244). Easy access to Bailey's Crossroads, Shirlington, Old Town Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, DCA, DC and so much more!
