2401 Childs Ln Alexandria, VA 22308

Just a block and a half from Stratford Landing Elementary School and walking distance to Metro bus service this beautiful home is hard to pass up as a long term purchase. In the heart of one of Alexandria's prized subdivisions STRATFORD LANDING, lies a 5 bed, 4 bath gem ready for purchase. Since purchasing the home in 1996 the homeowners have made significant upgrades inside and out. Beautiful perennials were planted and organized throughout the entire front and rear of the property and a well manicured lawn free of weeds sits on this beautiful corner lot. A new roof was added in 2016. Inside are refinished oak wood flooring from the minute you enter the home at the front door and throughout the upstairs. Recent home improvements include a kitchen overhaul in 2019!! New appliances, new countertops, new lighting, new island, and in-wall kitchen and porch speakers. New storm doors to kitchen and basement doors. A replacement of the porch door with thermal sliding door, replaced kitchen door with insulated glass panel door (venetian blind insert). Even the basement has seen improvements which include finishing off 90% of the basement with a family room, work bench area, a full bath and a bonus room. Three sump pumps were also added to keep the home cozy and dry. A current and future service agreement was signed recently for the HVAC system and water heater with the home sale in mind. A whole house humidifier was added to that system. A termite inspection took place in March of 2023 and an active contract for this year and beyond is in place. Pool membership is separate entity from the future closing of the home. The buyer has the right of first refusal within 7 days after the closing. It is a membership that requires a "buy-in" fee and annual dues. Specifics on this will come from the business manager at Stratford Recreation Association.
