About This Property
From the moment you turn onto our quiet cul de sac, not a through
street, you understand why we always felt we had the best homesite
in Maple Hill, perched up above the community and backing to mature
trees that give us real privacy along with a gorgeous flat
backyard, fully fenced and beautifully landscaped, where we have
spent countless evenings on the huge paver patio entertaining
friends while the kids run around, plus a two car garage and
driveway that has made parking for gatherings so easy. We bought
this five bedroom, three full bath brick and Hardie mid-century
modern, built by Robinson-Thayer, when every inch of it was
outdated, and we renovated it top to bottom with real love and
care, putting on a new roof in 2020, replacing the windows in 2022,
and installing a new water heater in 2025, all while choosing one
consistent timeless color palette throughout so the home would
always feel on trend, and you feel that intention the second you
walk through the spacious foyer onto wide plank French oak LVP that
runs through the whole home, with one panel doors and recessed
lighting in every single room. The kitchen, fully remodeled in
2021, is where we spent most of our time, with a huge island with
seating, forty two inch white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, a
cooktop, built in oven, range hood, stainless appliances, French
door fridge, built in microwave, and a deep farmhouse apron sink,
sitting beneath a wall of windows that frames the most beautiful
view in the community and opens right into a family room with
soaring ceilings, a fireplace flanked by built in bookcases and
wrapped in shiplap, and light pouring in through the slider doors,
all on real hardwood floors that continue through the generously
sized main level bedrooms, including a primary suite with a bath we
completely renovated in 2024, featuring a freestanding soaking tub,
a seamless glass shower, and a dual sink vanity, plus a huge walk
in closet with its own organization system and a secondary bath
finished with the same on trend tile, shiplap, vanity, and
lighting. Hardwood stairs carry you down to a lower level we most
recently finished as a media room, with a wood burning fireplace
surrounded in brick, a bar area with a beverage fridge and white
shaker cabinetry, and a setup ready for a projector screen for
movie nights with popcorn, along with two more bedrooms we used as
a home gym and a guest suite, a third full bath with that same
timeless palette, and a laundry and pantry area with more storage
than we ever filled, giving you real flexibility to work from home
on either level. What we will miss most has nothing to do with the
house itself, it is the neighbors who came to our wedding and
celebrated our son's first birthday with us, who still gather in
the circle out front to ride bikes and draw with chalk, the walks
with our dog through our back gate into Chinquapin Park and the
trails leading to the Rec Center, tennis and basketball courts, and
community gardens, and the weekend trips through that same gate to
Fairlington for coffee at St Elmo's outdoor window, Ramparts, and
Harvest, all just minutes from Old Town Alexandria, Shirlington,
the GW Parkway, King Street Metro, Pentagon City, Amazon's
headquarters, and 495, with the HOA even handling the yard work,
trash, exterior painting, and snow removal so all that is left for
you to do here is live.
