✨ Welcome Home to Storybook Charm in Alexandria ✨Now exceptionally offered at a new value, inviting the right buyer to enjoy this rare jewel-box home.✨ Super charming and beautifully updated, this detached Cape Cod sits on an extraordinary 15,000 SF (0.34 acre) fully fenced, level lot — a rare find offering both comfort and incredible potential. From the moment you arrive, the home’s warmth and character are undeniable. Main Level Highlights Step inside to a sun-filled living area anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. An arched doorway leads to the elegant dining room, where a sparkling crystal chandelier sets the stage for memorable gatherings. The renovated kitchen blends timeless style with function, showcasing classic white shaker cabinetry, sleek stainless steel appliances, and generous counter space for cooking and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a welcoming family room features a handsome wood-paneled accent wall and electric fireplace — the perfect spot for movie nights or relaxing with friends. This level also includes two serene bedrooms and a large, updated bathroom with porcelain tile, a double vanity, a walk-in shower, linen closet, and ample storage. Upper Level Comfort Upstairs you’ll find two additional bedrooms, including the primary suite with custom built-in closets. Split HVAC systems in both bedrooms ensure year-round comfort. Lower Level Possibilities The partially finished lower level currently functions as a family and laundry room but offers ample opportunity to expand. A second section of the basement provides flexible space for a workshop, home office, rental suite, or whatever your vision inspires — with direct access to the expansive backyard. Outdoor Living The oversized driveway provides abundant parking, while the fenced front yard creates a perfect play space for pets.
