Description

The entirety of this beautiful home, on one of the largest lots in Bucknell Manor, has been remodeled with loving care, both inside and out. In addition to its picture-perfect curb appeal and all of its bells and whistles, this home also features solid hardwood floors, abundant natural light, a brand new garage shed, a fenced back yard, and mature landscaping with year-round foliage and blooms. The rear roof addition/expansion creates a very accommodating upper level, currently used as an entire bedroom suite, but could easily be divided into two bedrooms again. This home has been meticulously updated & maintained by the current & previous homeowner - it is not a flip!● MAIN LEVEL: Enter this versatile, open plan from the new front porch or convenient side entrance into this bright & sunny home. The kitchen (2022) features extra tall, 42” shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, SS appliances, built-in microwave, gas range and a new refrigerator (2025). The dining area is bathed in light from the large front windows and the living room, with its elevated corner windows, has plenty of wall space to configure to your liking. The en-suite bedroom (full bath) on this level is accessed by a discreet hallway off the main living area. ● UPPER LEVEL: Welcome to your dream bedroom suite! This stellar remodel includes a stunning new bathroom with large walk-in shower, an expansive custom-built storage/closet system with drawers, shelving and hanging space, and conveniently located washer/dryer. The entire level is flooded with natural light from windows and skylight.● EXTERIOR: The expanded concrete driveway (with channel drain) is connected to the newly installed garage shed via a large patio area protected by a beautiful shade sail - providing both ample parking and/or space to tinker or gather with your loved ones. The lush yard in the rear of the large lot is fenced while the spacious front yard, with its mature landscape and rolling blooms, makes you forget where you are - feeling more like a lot in the countryside rather than right here, only moments from all the conveniences Alexandria has to offer.● UPDATES & SYSTEMS: New driveway and hardscape 2025; Garage shed 2025; Front porch & side steps 2025; Shade sail 2025; Window treatments 2025; Refrigerator 2025; Washer/Dryer 2024; Gutters/Downspouts 2023; Stained wood fence with concrete border 2023; Siding 2022; Crawlspace encapsulation 2022; Upgraded electric panel 2022; Kitchen remodel (incl all appliances) 2022; Roof 2021; Windows 2021; HVAC 2021; Both bathrooms remodeled 2021● LOCATION: Within 1 mile of the new Mt.
