It’s easy to find a home with plenty of curb appeal when looking at properties in Alexandria’s Del Ray neighborhood. But the home at 2708 Sycamore St. is almost the definition of picturesque.
Built in 1957, the two-bedroom, two-bedroom colonial sits on a 4,000-square-foot lot with custom landscaping and stone garden beds that welcomes guests to the front door. The three-level home is currently listed at $1,050,000.
Walk through the bright red door to find the cozy living room. You’ll be thankful for the wood-burning fireplace once the winter chill hits the region. Plantation shutters adorn every window in the living room and can be found throughout the main and upper levels as well.
Just past the living room is the formal dining room. The room that will host your future dinner parties features refinished hardwood floors – a staple throughout the main and upper levels – and a fresh coat of paint.
The updated kitchen may be small, but it’s packed full of amenities and customized details. You’ll find granite countertops with an extension, custom cabinetry, and upgraded appliances that include a new refrigerator. The room also has access to the patio in the backyard.
The upper level of the home includes two bedrooms. The primary bedroom includes ample natural light from the windows that overlook the front yard, while both rooms include walk in closets.
The upper level also includes a renovated bathroom with a spa-inspired design. Shared by both rooms, the bathroom includes heated floors, a rain shower, custom cabinetry, and modern tile designs.
The finished lower level is accessible through the kitchen and a walk-up egress. The room could become a rec room, home office, or anything else your heart desires. It includes a full bathroom and custom built-in Murphy bed, which creates an easy transition into a guest bedroom, and a laundry and storage area.
Step into the backyard to enjoy the fully fenced and private outdoor space. Once the weather gets warmer, plan to take your morning coffees or weekend lunches on the stone patio. A 12-foot umbrella provides a cool spot once the summer sun sets in. Besides the patio, the custom landscaping and colorful perennials will provide the perfect amount of greenery for your backyard escape. The yard also includes a storage shed with lighting and electricity and seller-owned solar panels that will transfer to the new owner.
