Sitting on a safe and quiet leafy cul-de-sac that backs up to Huntley Meadows State Park, this contemporary Dutch Colonial has room galore! From the street, the classic brick home in Alexandria's desirable Stoneybrooke neighborhood is fronted by an inviting lawn and a new front patio built in 2019. Mature trees add welcome shade on hot summer days. Step inside and you'll be treated to a spacious, open floorplan that sets it apart from typical compartmentalized layouts.From the front entry hall, a wonderful series of welcoming spaces is revealed, framed by archways and a combination of hardwood floors and carpet. A vaulted ceiling in the living area adds to the airy feel. The formal dining room with its wainscoting and windows leads into a gourmet kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. The kitchen is completely open to a wonderful family room with a large brick fireplace hearth that conjures up images of marshmallows toasting over a crackling fire on cold winter nights.A nifty sliding pocket door leads into an office or studio space that was added in 2018. Large contemporary windows offer a wonderful view to the back yard and allow lots of natural light to penetrate the space. A glass door exits to the rear patio. A bonus room is currently used for kids' playtime, while a powder room adds convenience for family and friends. A delightful staircase with multiple fun alcoves presents unique two-story overlooks to the living areas. The upper level is home to sleeping quarters, including a master bedroom with sitting area, walk-in closet and en-suite bath. There are three more bedrooms down the hall, as well as an additional full bath. The fenced back yard is rimmed by trees and shrubbery, adding to the property's considerable appeal.
