Description
Set on a cul-de-sac off of a dead-end street, this home is more than meets the eye. Four bedrooms and four full baths ensure even the busiest of households can get up and about in quick order. The welcoming front porch greets you as you pull into the drive. The front porch is a great place to relax, read, or watch the neighborhood activities while sipping your morning coffee or evening's favorite beverage. The main level welcomes you through the mudroom with cubbies and coat hooks. The open floor plan on this level is great for entertaining and family gatherings. The chef's kitchen with loads of cabinet and counter space, as well as Wolf cooktop, oven and microwave, is open to the living room with wood burning fireplace in the front, and the family/dining room to the back. A comfortable screened-in porch sits off the family room. A patio with room for dining or relaxing is also equipped with a grill hooked to the home's natural gas line.
The first level up has three bedrooms and two full baths. One bedroom, the former master, has an ensuite bath.
The top level features a grand master suite with a large bedroom and windows galore. Lie in bed and admire nature and the changing seasons. The walk-through closet is large enough for couples to share. The elegant bathroom calls for one to pamper oneself. Full-size washer and dryer in the bath make doing the laundry a breeze. And off the bath is a bonus room that has been used as a workout room, but could be an office, nursery, or whatever you can dream up.
There is a large storage attic area off the sitting area at the top of the stairs.
The lower level of the house has a large recreation room, laundry room, office, and full bath. The rec room, office and laundry room all have full-size above-ground windows. The laundry room, featuring a second washer and dryer, walks out to the back patio. The office provides seclusion and quiet when work requires you to be away from the action of the household.
The corner lot has been a gathering place for neighborhood functions including 4th of July gatherings and Halloween get-togethers. Children love the swing set which makes a great place for youngsters to meet up before catching the school bus in the morning, or to plan the day's activities.
All of this sits in a quiet neighborhood where people drive to enjoy the solitude of the almost one mile loop around the creek of Timber Branch Parkway. Joggers, strollers, dogs and more enjoy the calm, quiet neighborhood where you are almost always greeted with a friendly wave as you pass by. While you feel as if you are living in the country, you are close to everything Alexandria and surrounding areas have to offer. The Pentagon is about a 10 minute drive, and access to all major commuter routes is extremely convenient.
With all the great features of the home and the fantastic location, 630 Oakley Place is a great place to call home.
