This one is so ready for you... like move-in tomorrow, drop your bags, and start living kind of ready. The backyard? Total hidden gem. Think peaceful, private, park-like setting where you can actually unwind after a long day. And the house itself gives you all the space to grow into without sacrificing that cozy, welcoming feel. Inside, you've got 4 spacious bedrooms upstairs plus a super versatile 5th bedroom or den that can flex however you need- home office, guest space, gym, playroom... you name it. With 2.5 bathrooms and two fully finished levels, the layout just works for real life. Hardwood floors, tons of natural light, and a floor plan that feels both open and functional. The upper level has a separate living room with a wood-burning fireplace (hello cozy nights), plus a primary suite with its own bath and dual closets. Three more bedrooms and another full bath round it out perfectly. The lower level is where it really shines for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been beautifully updated with quartz countertops, bright white cabinetry, and modern appliances, and it even has room for a breakfast nook or more pantry space! The thoughtful layout flows right into the dining room and family room, accented with a chic. chandelier and a gas fireplace. You also have a flexible 5th bedroom on this level, perfect for a guest suite or home office! And don't sweat the systems, the owners have that handled! This home has a new HVAC (2024), upgraded 200 amp electric panel (2024), new flooring and carpet. More than $50,000 in recent upgrades went into this spectacular home! Outside, you'll love the expansive fenced and terraced yard (1,000 sqft of fresh sod just planted!) as well as the spacious deck whose semi-shaded setup will keep you enjoying the fresh air all summer long! If you love to host, parking will be a breeze with an extended driveway as well as plentiful street parking. And if you want even more outdoors than this home offers, you've got east access to popular trails like Holmes Run that give you direct access to an array of beautiful local parks. Location-wise, it's hard to beat. You're a few streets from I-395, making commuting anywhere in the DMV incredibly easy. At the same time, you would never know it while you stand in the serene quiet of your backyard. Sylvan Hills has that perfect balance of convenience and comfort, get anywhere in Northern Virginia with speed and ease, then come home to your quiet, nature filled sanctuary at the end of the day. With all of its meticulous updates, beautiful yard space and greater neighborhood woodlands, and coveted location among Alexandria suburbs... this is one of those homes that says "forever" the second you walk in.
