A spacious full bathroom and additional storage complete the upper level, giving everyone room to spread out. But the views are what truly set this home apart. 3 of the bedrooms offer beautiful views of Mount Vernon Park, and the backyard provides direct access to the parkland. In the winter, when the leaves fall, the views become even more spectacular, revealing scenic vistas toward Washington, D.C. and National Harbor across the river. Outside, enjoy the convenience of a 3-car driveway, a private backyard, and direct access to the surrounding parkland. And with NO HOA fees, you have even more freedom to enjoy your property your way. With its classic Cape Cod charm, freshly refinished hardwood floors, remodeled bathrooms, updated kitchen, flexible 5-bedroom layout, vaulted primary bedroom, park views, direct park access, 3-car driveway, and no HOA, this Alexandria home offers a combination of features that is exceptionally hard to find.
