Offer deadline - Monday, March 30th 10am, with sellers reserving the right to accept offers at any time. Charming and thoughtfully updated three-level Cape Cod tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offering a rare sense of privacy and direct access to lush, county-maintained green space. Classic black shutters, refreshed landscaping, and off-street parking set the tone for a home that blends timeless character with meaningful, high-quality updates. Situated in the Yorktown High School pyramid and just a short stroll to Cardinal Elementary school, as well as the shops and dining of Westover Village, this home offers neighborhood charm with everyday accessibility to parks, Virginia Hospital Center, and major commuter routes into Washington, D.C. INTERIOR Inside, the home features a traditional yet flexible layout across three levels with four bedrooms and two full baths, enhanced by numerous owner improvements. The main level welcomes you with a light-filled living room featuring original hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace, flowing seamlessly into a dining room with windows on two sides. A main-level bedroom off the living room provides versatility as a home office, guest room, or playroom. The updated kitchen includes generous storage and a new 5-burner cooktop (2026) and connects to an additional family room at the rear of the home. This standout space is surrounded by large windows overlooking the patio and green space, features built-in bookcases, a second gas fireplace, and a hand-painted sunroom floor (2022), creating a warm and inviting setting. A full bath completes the main level. 2ND FLOOR Upstairs, the sellers completed a thoughtful series of improvements, including smoothing the ceiling texture (2022), refinishing the hardwood floors (2022), enhancing insulation for year-round comfort, and adding fresh paint (2022 & 2024). The light-filled primary bedroom features custom plantation shutters, while the second bedroom includes an attached sitting room ideal for a study, nursery, or storage. A well-sized guest bedroom is complemented by a hall bath that was fully renovated in 2023. LOWER LEVEL The lower level offers exceptional flexibility, with a large finished area that can function as a bedroom, recreation room, or multi-purpose space. The unfinished portion includes laundry, a built-in workbench, windows, and walk-out access to the driveway, presenting strong potential for future expansion. A new basement door and surround were installed in 2023. EXTERIOR Significant exterior upgrades provide additional peace of mind. In 2024, new siding was installed on both the house and shed, along with new gutters, a new shed window, and updated electrical to the shed. A new side yard was added in 2024, and the front yard landscaping was refreshed in 2023. The backyard is designed for easy outdoor living, with a beautifully appointed stone patio offering space for lounge seating, dining, or a firepit. A classic picket fence frames the yard, and just beyond it, the home has direct access to county-maintained green space, functioning like an extended backyard without the upkeep. With its quiet cul-de-sac setting, meaningful upgrades, walkability to Westover Village, and direct access to green space, this home offers a lifestyle that is both peaceful and exceptionally well connected.
