5703 Chapin Avenue

Its not often you find this kind of space and privacy this close to the heart of Alexandria. Set on 1.6 acres and built in 2012, this 4,100 square foot custom home offers the rare combination of land, modern construction, and true convenience just 1.5 miles from the Huntington Metro. Inside, the layout is designed for the way people actually live today, with an open flow between the kitchen, dining, and family spaces while still giving each room its own identity. The formal dining room connects easily to the kitchen, where maple 42 inch cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a comfortable breakfast area make it a natural gathering spot for everyday life or hosting friends. Just beyond, the family room centers around a gas fireplace with built-ins and opens to a private deck overlooking the peaceful backyard. The main level also offers something buyers are always searching for but rarely find: a full bedroom and beautifully finished bath with large format tile and a maple vanity topped with granite, perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or a quiet home office. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a main level laundry room round out a floor that feels thoughtful and easy to live in. Upstairs, the primary suite is filled with natural light and includes a walk-in closet and a spacious bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a large separate shower. Three additional bedrooms share a generous hall bath finished with large format tile and a granite topped vanity. Every bedroom enjoys large windows, ceiling fans, and a bright, airy feel. The walkout lower level adds another dimension to the home with full-size windows, recessed lighting, LVP flooring, and a huge rec room ready for a pool table, movie nights, or game day gatherings, along with a mini kitchen and eat-in area that makes entertaining easy. There is also a full bedroom and bath, ideal for extended guests or long term stays, and direct access to the backyard through the walkout doors. Outside, the setting feels tucked away and private with room to breathe, while the oversized two-car garage, EV charger, two-zone HVAC system, on-demand gas water heater, and long driveway with plenty of parking make everyday life simple and practical. Let's not forget about the solar panels that ensure your electricity bill is immune from Dominion Energy's continued price hikes. And while the home feels peaceful and removed, the location keeps you connected to everything that makes this part of Northern Virginia so desirable. The Huntington Metro is just 1.5 miles away, with easy access to the VRE, Amtrak, I-495, I-95, Route 1, Reagan National Airport, Fort Belvoir, and downtown DC. Old Town Alexandria, Del Ray, and National Harbor are all minutes away, and Hoffman Town Center with Wegmans, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment is close enough to enjoy regularly. Homes offering this much land, this much house, and this level of access to the Metro and the city simply do not come along very often.
