Nestled on a spectacular half-acre-plus lot in the heart of Fort Hunt and zoned for highly sought-after Waynewood Elementary School, this beautifully updated home offers timeless character, thoughtful renovations, and an abundance of living space inside and out. With approximately 2,900 finished square feet across three levels, an additional 655 square feet of unfinished lower-level space offering incredible expansion potential, and 150 square feet of bonus storage on the bedroom level, this home is as functional as it is charming! From the welcoming front yard and delightful planter boxes to the mature trees and expansive green space beyond, this property makes a wonderful first impression. Inside, newly refinished real oak hardwood floors, designer wallpaper, thoughtfully selected light fixtures, and charming architectural details create a home that feels warm, inviting, and full of personality. The main level offers a wonderful combination of traditional charm and everyday functionality, including a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and the hard-to-find convenience of a main-level bedroom and full bath. The beautifully appointed kitchen features white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island with seating, a tall pantry cabinet, and an adorable built-in breakfast nook with banquette seating. Just beyond the kitchen, a sunroom overlooks the home's gorgeous backyard, offering a peaceful place to enjoy morning coffee, unwind with a book, or simply take in the views of mature trees and surrounding greenery. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer exceptional space and flexibility. The beautifully remodeled primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a stunning ensuite bath with marble and crisp white finishes, professionally outfitted walk-in closets, additional closet space that could easily serve as a charming office nook, and a delightful built-in storage bench. Beautifully updated bathrooms, spacious secondary bedrooms, and additional storage complete the upper level. The walkout lower level offers even more room to spread out, with updated luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, and a second wood-burning fireplace. French doors open directly to an outdoor patio, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Even better, approximately 655 square feet of unfinished space presents an incredible opportunity to customize the home to fit your needs. With existing windows and exterior access, there is excellent potential for a fifth bedroom, additional full bath, home gym, or a combination of all three! And then there is the lot! Situated on more than half an acre, the expansive property is truly something special. Mature trees, beautiful green space, and plenty of room for outdoor entertaining, gardening, play, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings make this backyard a rare find in such a desirable neighborhood.
