Please enjoy this 3 bed, 3 full & 2 half bath, 1-car garage, 2945 finished sq.ft. TH in the Landmark Mews community located in Alexandria’s West End. The quality & scope of the upgrades throughout the house present a rarely found opportunity: A truly move-in ready home located inside the Beltway with immediate access to 395/495/95, but within a tree-lined community in a park-like setting. The TH is located to offer a view of the beautifully landscaped Community Commons, with this space just steps from the patio gate. House Details: The house opens from a covered Portico to a welcoming entry with a 12-foot ceiling, marble tile floor, & a 5-light pewter finish candelabra. The fully remodeled kitchen has stainless GE Profile appliances, Amish-built cherry cabinetry, built-in display shelves, granite counters, tile backslash, & under-cabinet lighting. The kitchen has eat-in space for two. Gas cooking can be easily added with a gas line from the mechanical room, which has been done in many Landmark Mews houses. The Living & Dining Rooms have newly refinished hardwood floors in a Jacobean color for an eye-pleasing look. A gas fireplace with a brick surround & hearth adds to the warmth of this living space. The Main Level has crown molding throughout, with a neutral wall color (Benjamin Moore’s Manchester Tan) to accommodate any design style. The Dining Room has a beige Venetian plaster below the chair rail, coordinated with the wall paint color above. A fully remodeled half bath is also located on the Main Level, with Venetian plaster on the walls. The Main Level opens large deck via a Pella slider door. The deck offers a view of mature trees and the Community Commons, which provides privacy to the Main Level & the Owner's Suite. The Owner's Suite is large enough to make a King-size bed look small, with a large walk-in closet and a custom storage system. The Owner's Suite bathroom has been fully remodeled with the same attention to details found throughout the house. The second bedroom on this level is also sized as an Owner's Suite, with a fully remodeled bathroom & a large walk-in closet with a custom storage system.
