Property Description
Nestled in one of Alexandria's most desirable neighborhoods, this exceptional Riverside Gardens residence offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and location. With four bedrooms, extensive capital improvements, and a private backyard retreat, this beautifully maintained home is ready to welcome its next owners and provide years of worry-free enjoyment. Freshly painted throughout, buffed, polished, and shining, this lovely Sweetbriar Model features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and hardwood floors throughout. Thoughtful updates include upscale kitchen appliances, refreshed baths with quality vanities, and stylish new lighting fixtures. The spacious lower-level recreation and family room features ceramic tile flooring and a wood-burning fireplace, creating flexible space for entertaining, relaxing, or working from home. A separate laundry room on the same level includes new LG washer and dryer appliances. Outdoor living is easy with a large, flat, fully fenced backyard complete with a patio and storage shed for tools, sporting equipment, and gardening essentials. A brand-new concrete driveway leads to one of the few oversized carports in Riverside Gardens, providing tandem parking for two vehicles. Added peace of mind comes from a seller-provided home warranty and separate roof warranty. Ideally situated near the Riverside Gardens Swim and Tennis Club, the Potomac River, parks, shopping, and scenic trails, this home offers easy access to historic Old Town Alexandria via the picturesque George Washington Parkway. In the opposite direction lies Mount Vernon, the beloved estate of George Washington, providing yet another nearby destination rich in history and natural beauty. Very nearby is bus service to Huntington Metro and bus service to DC. Major improvements include replacement of the sewer line from the house to the sidewalk (2011), complete HVAC system replacement (2011), roof replacement (2016), Bosch dishwasher (2017), washer drain line replacement (2019), crawl space HVAC ducting and encapsulation (2021), KitchenAid induction range (2024), hot water heater (2025), washer and dryer (2025), crawl space sewer and water repiping (2026), and a new concrete driveway (2026). This move-in-ready home offers the rare combination of extensive updates, exceptional location, and timeless appeal in one of Alexandria's most sought-after communities.
