About This Home

As of December 2020

Welcome to 5587 La Vista Drive, a stunning brick-front 2-car garage colonial in Alexandria's desirable Gunnell Estates. This stately and elegant Remington model backs to trees and features over 4,000 square feet of living space. Gleaming hardwood floors grace the main level, & elegant moldings and plantation shutters add a classy touch. This fine home features a new roof in 2019, newer HVAC system, fresh neutral paint throughout and brand-new carpet on the lower level. The appealing eat-in kitchen has granite counters with custom tile backsplash, stainless-steel appliances, 42-inch cherry cabinets, recessed lighting and a large center island. Just off the kitchen is the dazzling family room, where a wall of oversized windows illuminates the two-story expanse warmly anchored by a cozy fireplace. Upstairs, the remarkable master suite offers a tray ceiling, walk-in closet and master bath with double vanities, a deep soaking tub and separate shower. The lower level includes an oversized rec room with a relaxing fireplace, a full kitchen with lots of cabinet space, fifth bedroom, and a full bath. Close to 95/395/495 and Fairfax County Parkway, you will be just a short drive from Kingstowne and Springfield Town Centers, Old Town Alexandria, and downtown D.C.
