Introducing a lifestyle crafted with enduring design, convenience, and a coveted Yacht Haven address with an opportunity to assume a VA loan at 2.25%  This 4,260 square-foot residence balances scale with warmth, offering 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths across two spacious levels. With its open flow from the great room to the expansive back deck, the home was designed for gatherings, connection, and everyday ease. Rich Brazilian cherry hardwoods pair with elegant ceramic tile on the main level, where a private primary suite "wing" becomes a retreat of its own. Complete with a bonus office/study/nursery, deck access, and even a dedicated washer/dryer, it brings an elevated level of convenience. An additional bedroom and bath, a welcoming dining area, and a kitchen-to-living layout complete this floor. The lower level extends the lifestyle with a second family room, its own entertaining kitchen, three additional bedrooms, and two more bathrooms-retreating outdoors to a large covered patio and a beautifully landscaped, hardscaped yard. Storage is not in short supply thanks to two backyard sheds, while the rear-load garage adds flexibility for parking, a workshop, or a home gym. Eye-catching curb appeal begins with a newer paved circular driveway and a stamped concrete front porch perfect for crisp fall evenings with a mug in hand. Behind the beauty, modern efficiencies ensure confidence: a whole-house generator, tankless water heater, dual HVAC systems, and an additional mini-split for comfort in every season. Set within the sought-after Yacht Haven community, this property offers a unique advantage: no HOA restrictions, yet access to the exclusive Mount Vernon Yacht Club membership-where non-residents often wait years to be able to apply. Located just minutes from Fort Belvoir and major bus routes, Mount Vernon is also home to Fort Hunt Park, and the historic Mount Vernon Estate.  A home with these thoughtful details just might be the one you've been waiting for!
