Welcome to this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with three fully finished levels and a 2-car garage, nestled in the desirable Gunnell Estates community of Alexandria. From the moment you arrive, pride of ownership is evident. The home has been enhanced both inside and out with timeless updates, fresh landscaping, a repaved asphalt driveway, newly installed front walkway pavers, and freshly repainted shutters and exterior doors, all adding to its curb appeal. Step inside to a grand two-story foyer that fills the entry with natural light. Just off the foyer is a sunny home office with French doors, perfect for working from home. The main level continues with wide-plank white oak hardwood floors, a separate formal dining room, and a spacious great room, which features a newly updated gas fireplace with refreshed stonework and a stylish mantle. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, offering granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (including a new refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave), mosaic tile backsplash, a large center island, and abundant cabinet storage. The adjoining morning room provides plenty of space for a large table and opens out to the deck and stone patio, creating an ideal flow for indoor-outdoor living, entertaining, or quiet relaxation. Upstairs, the generous primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a large sitting area, a walk-in closet, and an updated en-suite bathroom with upgraded tile, dual vanities, a glass-enclosed shower, and a soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms on this level share an upgraded full bath. Throughout the upper level, the owners have added new shades for a polished, cohesive finish. Completing the second floor is a fully tiled laundry room, which adds exceptional daily convenience. The lower level offers even more living space with durable LVP flooring, a spacious recreation room, a flex room that can serve as a second office, fitness area, or guest space, and a third updated full bathroom. Additional improvements to the home include a radon mitigation system, several premium light fixtures, and a professionally rejuvenated flagstone patio with a clean, level surface. The dual-zone HVAC systems were fully replaced in 2015, a new furnace was added in 2020, and the systems have been professionally maintained. The owners are also conveying the Nest Learning Thermostats (3rd generation) and several smart home integrations for added efficiency and convenience.
