Welcome to 8011 Candlewood Drive in charming South Alexandria. This enchanting all-brick 4 bedroom, 2 bath home exudes striking curb appeal. Nestled on gorgeous, lush green lot, on a serene street, this updated residence is cited on a spacious, level lot, with the added attraction of backing up to lush parkland.
Step inside to discover a meticulously maintained residence featuring gleaming hardwoods throughout the main living level.
The heart of the home, an updated eat-in kitchen, boasts an island with breakfast bar seating, stainless steel appliances, a new skylight and elegant granite countertops. The main living level features two serene bedrooms and a beautifully updated, spacious hall bathroom, an expansive living room and a dining room. Imagine cozy evenings by one of the two fireplaces, adding warmth and character to these elegant living spaces.
The allure extends to an enclosed sun porch, offering a perfect spot to unwind while overlooking the calming greenbelt and beautiful backyard.

This residence goes beyond beauty, with recent upgrades including a newer roof, newer windows, and HVAC systems, guaranteeing modern comfort and efficiency.
Amazing location, close to schools, library, seasonal Famer’s market, shopping, restaurants, and all commuter routes. The Potomac River beckons you to explore its scenic bike and walking trail along the George Washington Memorial Parkway. If you're an outdoor enthusiast who loves running, biking, or simply being in nature while staying close to the city, this home is close to all. Enjoy a lovely commute to Old Town, the District, Fort Belvoir, and the Pentagon, or opt for eco-friendly alternatives like biking along the picturesque George Washington Parkway or utilizing the convenient Metro Bus service to the Huntington Metro, providing carless commuting options to Old Town and downtown DC.
