This 4 Bedroom Alexandria Cape Cod is a Total Charmer

By
Real Estate Agent with Long and Foster REALTORS (703) 470-4545 0225085927

SOLD!  8 DAYS ON MARKET!  This is one of those houses that you fall in love with from the street.  A stone Cape Cod from the 40s, it has the charm of yesteryear with today's updates.  

Can it get any better than that?

Situated on a nearly quarter acre flat lot on a quiet street that ends at Groveton Heights Park,  this cozy 3 level home has a fenced backyard and deck, as well as large trees and a play structure. 

Freshly painted in neutral colors, both the main and upper levels have wood floors and updated bathrooms.  

The finished lower level has built in storage, a separate office (or guest space) and recreation room.  It's a walk out, too, so you can go right into the backyard from the basement level. 

Speaking of basements, this sweet property has a waterproofing system with a transferable warranty, so no worries about flooding. 

And the heating system?  Oh, the heat...radiator heat, which I would give anything for in my own house. It's warm, it's comfortable and it does not dry you out all winter long.  As a nod to today's conveniences, the owners installed central air.  

Updated kitchen with table space, updated bathrooms, spacious bedrooms...this Alexandria gem is just waiting for a new owner who will appreciate its historic character and great location on a quiet street near shopping, parks, public transportation, schools, libraries and so much more.

Located in the small unincorporated community of Groveton, which falls within the Lee District of Fairfax County, this home is in the Valley View subdivision, about 3 miles south of Old Town Alexandria, just off of Route 1 and less than 4 miles north of Mount Vernon. 

 

There is plenty more of this house to see, so call your agent, attend one of our upcoming open houses or contact us directly to see it, if you are not already working with an agent.  We would love to show it to you!  Proudly offered by Susan Haughton & Mindy Brubaker of Long & Foster REALTORS for $450,000.

That's a great cape cod for sale in Alexandria, VA.  I remember my uncle lived in an Alexandria cape cod and just seeing these pics brings back memories.
