OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED. HOUSE IS UNDER CONTRACT. If you haven’t been able to find that “just right” home, look no further! This stately colonial set on a no-thru street in the desirable community of the Villages at Huntington is what you’ve been waiting for. It’s a perfect combination of flexible, casual spaces for today’s busy lifestyles and traditional spaces for more formal occasions and holiday entertaining. Let’s start the tour out front.

First, you’ll notice the mature landscaping and the street presence of the home. As soon as you walk in you’ll sense this house has been well kept by the present owner. The roof was replaced in 2021 and the windows were replaced in 2019, so you can check those off your worry list. The front half of the main floor is elegant, but not stuffy. The 2 story foyer, formal living room, and dining room, all with hardwood floors, are great spaces for more formal events, but most people are interested in the casual side of life, so let’s go take a look.

If you want a place to relax after a long day, then the great room will fit the bill. The open kitchen and family room, complete with wood burning fireplace are just the right blend of spaces. The welcoming sun room rounds out the package. You could use it for a breakfast nook, or just some more casual space for relaxing.Just off the kitchen, you’ll find the laundry room, it’s well located for today’s busy lifestyles. Feeling like some outdoor time? Step out the sliding glass door onto the deck. You’ll enjoy the fenced back yard for play space, gardening or just relaxing.

Upstairs you’ll find 4 bedrooms in total, including the well proportioned primary suite. The primary bath features a large soaking tub, stall shower, and double vanities, everything you’ve been looking for. The other 3 bedrooms are comfortably sized with ample closets. They provide plenty of options for sleeping spaces, home offices, or whatever suits your needs.

Now let’s head downstairs to the basement. You’ll love the nicely finished lower-level family room. It’s a perfect option for more play space, tv or gaming space, another home office, or whatever suits your needs. There’s also a half bath and extra storage, plus the oversized 2 car garage provides even more storage when you need it.
Now let’s talk about location. You’ll love the easy access to the Huntington Metro, all of the shopping along Rte 1, Belle Haven Country Club, parks, and easy access to Old Town Alexandria. Come and see this special home for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!
