Description

Beautifully Renovated Colonial with a Walkout Basement, Chef's Kitchen, and Private Backyard Retreat Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Palisades community, this thoughtfully renovated Colonial blends timeless character with modern design. Every space has been carefully reimagined to create a home that is as inviting as it is functional, making it ideal for both everyday living and memorable gatherings. Step inside to a light-filled living room anchored by a fireplace that creates a warm and welcoming focal point. Just beyond, the elegant dining room features a charming bay window, designer wall sconces, and serene views of the wooded backyard, creating the perfect backdrop for holiday dinners and everyday meals alike. At the heart of the home, the renovated gourmet kitchen is designed for gathering. Quartz countertops, custom white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a dramatic waterfall peninsula, designer tile backsplash, and a sunny breakfast nook come together in a space that is both beautiful and highly functional. Open to the kitchen, the family room is full of character with exposed beams, expansive windows overlooking the trees, and easy access to the outdoor living spaces. Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening or entertaining a crowd, this room offers a comfortable place to relax in every season. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, skylights, a fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and updated bathrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The finished walkout lower level offers exceptional versatility with a large recreation room, fireplace, custom wet bar, renovated full bath, abundant storage, and direct access to the backyard. It's the perfect space for movie nights, game days, overnight guests, or a home gym. Outside, the private backyard is surrounded by mature trees, creating a peaceful escape. The expansive multi-level deck and charming gazebo invite you to enjoy morning coffee, summer cookouts, or relaxing evenings outdoors. Additional highlights include a new 2026 roof, an attached two-car garage, a beautifully updated powder room with designer wallpaper, a convenient laundry area, and abundant storage throughout. Ideally located just minutes from Holmes Run Trail, neighborhood parks, shopping, restaurants, I-395, and less than 10 miles from Washington, D.C., this home also enjoys close proximity to the exciting WestEnd Alexandria redevelopment, adding new healthcare, shopping, dining, and community amenities to one of Alexandria's fastest-growing areas. Beautifully updated and move-in ready, this is more than a home. It's a place where friends gather, holidays are celebrated, and memories are made for years to come.
