Trust me, you really must see this home! A carpenter lives here, and you can tell in every detail of this beautifully updated and meticulously maintained home. Starting at the welcoming front porch and the double driveway, everything has been thought through in this home. Entering into the large foyer, you’ll notice the rich custom wood banister across from the main level office. Two steps up takes you to a large living room with beautiful hardwood floors and lots of space to entertain. The brand new expanded kitchen gourmet will WOW you with all the designer details, from the large "Dekton ultracompact stone" island, the "black" stainless steel appliances; including an ultra quiet Bosch dishwasher and a Bosch 6 burner slide in Gas range, to the secret toe-touch-open baking drawers, and the hammered copper farm sink. You’ll love all the windows in this home, especially in the light flooded breakfast nook. The sunken family room has a custom wood mantle and features sliding glass doors that takes you to the storybook back yard, complete with a koi pond and a pergola deck. Back inside, the main level has a convenient powder room for your guests. I don’t often rave about a mud/laundry room, but it too is beautifully done, outfitted with new raised front loading washer/dryer and custom cabinets. The gleaming hardwood floors continue on the second level to the 4 spacious bedrooms! The primary bedroom easily fits a king size bed, and has an en-suite bathroom for privacy. You’ll notice the skylights that brighten the upstairs hallway. And no arguing over sink space with a double vanity in the updated hall bathroom. There is plenty of storage with pull down attic stairs and a walk-in attic, which could be built out. The large walk out basement is perfect for movie night and has space for a classroom/game area, and has a powder room to boot. The Randall model is one of the largest models in sought after Stratford on the Potomac -- and it has a coveted garage. It's easy walking distance to the Advanced Placement magnet school, Stratford Landing Elementary School. You will fall in love with the “Mayberry feel” of this Fort Hunt community. It’s just a 14 mile drive to Washington, DC along the picturesque George Washington Parkway and an even shorter drive to Old Town Alexandria for dinner and fun! Trust me, you really must see this home.
