Property Description
**1911 Stirrup Lane - in the heart of Riverside Gardens: Your Dream Neighborhood**
Professional Photos will be posted by 28 May. This spacious colonial home, which boasts 2,800+ sq ft of space, is situated on an elevated corner lot on land once owned by George Washington. It is ready for you to transform into your dream home.
On the main level, you will find hardwood flooring in the foyer, formal dining room, and living room, boasting a large bay window overlooking the neighborhood. An updated kitchen (2017) equipped with stainless steel appliances, a large countertop bar, a natural light-filled eat-in nook with a door leading to the backyard, and hardwood maple cabinetry. The kitchen looks over a sunken, spacious family room with nine-foot ceilings, centered around an expansive brick wood-burning fireplace framed by custom white shelving. French doors in the family room also lead to the fenced-in backyard, which features two patios, a grassy area, and raised garden beds. Next to the family room, an oversized laundry room can serve as a home office or workout area and includes a door that leads into the 24' wide x 23' deep two-car garage—a rarity in this neighborhood! The garage doors, installed in 2015, provide enough room for most of the larger trucks and SUVs commonly driven today. A half bath completes the lower level.
As you head upstairs, you will discover four bedrooms (one with access to a bright walk-in attic with ample storage space and one with a laundry chute) and two full bathrooms. Tube skylights in the hallway and hall bathroom brighten the area with natural light. The oversized primary bedroom has an en suite bath and generous closet space.
The expansive front yard is ideal for gatherings around a fire pit on the side yard patio, surrounded by mature trees and native plants that showcase magnificent colors in the spring, summer, and fall. Additionally, two Little Libraries located on the corner of the property are a beloved neighborhood gem, requiring only a monthly tidying.
The home's exterior features brick and Hardie Board (installed 2015). The roof, gutters, and shutters were also replaced in 2015. Updates include a Trane A/C unit (2023), a furnace (2015), and thermostat and heating elements for the oversized water heater (2020).
Riverside Gardens Citizens Association (NOT an HOA!) hosts community events such as neighborhood holiday parades, chili cook-offs, semi-annual yard sales, block parties, and fitness classes- it is a modern-day Mayberry! One block away is the Riverside Gardens Swim and Tennis Club, where everyone congregates in the summer, with a swim team, tennis lessons, yoga, fitness classes, and themed parties throughout the summer. Enjoy living minutes from Old Town Alexandria, the Mount Vernon Bike Trail, the Potomac River, and the historic Mount Vernon Estate. Walk or bike to Fort Hunt Park or the GW Parkway. Everything you need is five minutes away at the beloved Hollin Hall shopping center, where you'll find a grocery store, a bakery, a butcher, restaurants, an art studio for kids, a natural goods store, a hardware store, and more. You will also have easy access to Reagan National Airport and Washington, D.C. Another advantage of living in this fantastic neighborhood is the buried power lines, which means it is very rare to lose power in storms… and looks prettier.
The home is two blocks from local preschools, Stratford Landing Elementary and Carl Sandburg Middle School, and the bus stop for West Potomac High School is just half a block away.
This home will come with a one-year Home Warranty service contract, and with its "good bones," this diamond in the rough is ready for you to make it your own! Please schedule an appointment to tour it today!
