About This Home
As of May 2021Please enjoy this 3 bedroom, 2 full & 2 half bath, 2-car garage, 2218 finished sq.ft. townhouse in the sought-after Overlook community in Alexandria, Virginia. The virtual tour (www.5278MorningMist.com) has details on the house and Overlook community, photos, the video featurette. The upgrades throughout the house present a rarely found opportunity – A move-in ready home located inside the Beltway with immediate access to 395/495/95, but also within a tree-lined, green-space community surrounding a Fairfax County Park. While residents live in this Park-like setting, Overlook is also perfectly positioned for residents to reap “livability” and house valuation benefits from the forthcoming Landmark Mall redevelopment and other planned projects along the Landmark-Van Dorn Corridor. A full description of the house features and upgrades, the Overlook community, and the Landmark Mall redevelopment project is provided below. House Details: This house has nice design and architectural details – both big and small – throughout, from the 13 foot ceiling and French doors to the Sunroom on the Main Level, to the upgraded light fixtures, to the brushed nickel hardware on every door in the house, with levers replacing knobs for a more elegant look and feel. An eye-pleasing color palette throughout the house will complement any design style preferred by the new homeowner. The house opens to an entry hallway with steps up to the Main Level. The Living Rom has the referenced tall ceilings, with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows providing natural light throughout this level. The Living Room and adjacent Sunroom each look upon a wrap-around deck that is large enough for three separate seating areas. The Sunroom also has the 13 foot ceiling, with two walls of windows. The house backs to a wide grass area with mature Crepe myrtle and 40 foot evergreen trees providing a green view and privacy to both the Main Level and the Owner's Suite. The Living Room leads to to the elevated Dining Room, with both rooms having crown molding and hardwood floors. The Dining Room has chair rail and wainscot trim, with a new candelabra creating a design focal point. The kitchen is next on the Main Level, with a cook's layout that is ready for entertaining. The kitchen has ample prep room, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, a tile backsplash, and a tile floor. The open kitchen has room for a table for informal dining in front of a bay window, with a globe mini-candelabra providing a design focal point. The kitchen area is sized for a separate sitting area. A half bath is located on the Main Level. The Owner’s Suite Bedroom suite is large enough to make a King-size bed look small, with a walk-in closet and separate seating area. The bathroom has a double sink vanity, soaking tub, a separate shower, and a water closet for privacy. The 2nd bedroom is sized for a Queen bed with a double door closet. The 3rd bedroom is currently furnished as a reading/TV room, with a double door closet. The 2nd full bathroom upstairs serves the spare bedrooms (photo coming/bathroom is shown in the video). The laundry is located on the bedroom level. All carpet is newly installed prior to the listing. The Lower Level has a gas fireplace with flanking built-in bookcases, with room to watch a TV mounted above the fireplace. The new homeowner can also set up a library or office in the bump out area, which has two walls of windows. The Lower Level has a tiled floor, with direct access to the fenced patio area. The Lower Level has a half bathroom with upgraded sink fixture and matching accessories, framed mirror, and light fixture. The garage is a two-car, single door model, with 2 parking spaces in driveway. Visitor parking is available at the end of Morning Mist. HVAC system upgraded in Spring 2012. Roof replaced in November 2019. Water heater replaced in December 2016.
