418 E NELSON AVE Alexandria, VA 22301

Smart and stylish, this three-bedroom home in the heart of close-knit Del Ray offers a comfortable living space in a great location, just steps from all the shops, restaurants, and boutiques on bustling Mt. Vernon Avenue. The convenient end unit includes off-street parking and numerous upgrades. On the main level, beautiful hardwood floors shine in the freshly painted interior. Arched doorways lead from the living room to the dining room and into the renovated cook's kitchen and breakfast bar. Beautiful Fire Bordeaux granite counters and subway tiling on the backsplash complement the LG double gas and convection oven, and the ultra-quiet Bosch dishwasher. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath offer a quiet refuge while the recreation room and second full bath on the lower level are at your service for an exercise space, play area, multi-media theater, guest room, home office, or a studio for your favorite hobbies. Also on the lower level is the brand-new, stainless steel, front-loading LG washer and dryer, on storage pedestals, along with an additional refrigerator in the utility room, which always comes in handy when entertaining. Other essentials recently upgraded include a high-efficiency furnace and air conditioning unit with touch screen, an internet-capable thermostat, gas water heater, and a neoprene roof with an extra thick insulation barrier. Outside, the large front and back yards enjoy the afternoon sun. With plenty of space for friends to gather safely and distanced, two brick patios in the back yard are joined by a large storage shed, and the space is enclosed by a tall privacy fence. All this, just steps away from everything that makes Del Ray one of the most sought-after communities in the area. Walk to dog parks, a lively Farmers' Market, butcher and cheese shops, restaurants of all kinds, beer garden, tennis courts, multiple health and wellness outlets, pharmacy, grocery, and the hallowed baseball and soccer games at Simpson Field. Braddock Road Metro is less than a mile away, and National Airport is a 10-minute drive. Old Town Alexandria is nearby, as are all the amenities of Washington, DC.
