3542 S George Mason Drive, Unit 25Alexandria, VA 22302Price: $769,900

Tucked into a charming brick enclave in the heart of Alexandria, this stunning 3-level-plus-loft Townhome offers nearly 2,700 square feet of beautifully curated living - an extraordinary find at this price point, in this location. From the moment you enter, the home wraps around you. The ground-level rec room is anchored by a cozy gas fireplace with stone surround and custom built-in cabinetry - the kind of space that makes a quiet night in feel like an event. Step through the French doors and you're on your private rear patio, complete with a brand new condenser unit, plantings, a seating area ready for weekend grilling, golden-hour wine, and easy conversation. Head upstairs and prepare to fall in love with the kitchen. Polished granite surfaces, stainless steel appliances, rich cabinetry, and a cushioned window seat that practically begs you to linger over your morning coffee. The hardwood floors on this entire level are so warm and gorgeous, you'll skip the rug. A den, a dining area, a living space, and an updated half bath (2002) round out a floor that was made for living - and entertaining, where all furniture pieces may convey. The primary suite is your personal retreat: vaulted ceilings, massive closets, and skylights with plantation shutters that let you dial in the light exactly how you like it. Two additional bedrooms are generously sized, a full bath with a soaking tub and new tile flooring serves the floor beautifully, and a linen closet keeps everything effortlessly organized. And then there's the loft - wide open, light-filled, and climate-controlled. This area can provide for a home studio, a fitness space, or a creative corner; whatever your life calls for, this space answers. A private attached garage, driveway parking, full-size in-unit washer and dryer, and abundant storage throughout mean nothing gets sacrificed for the square footage you gain. Hop on 395, 495, or Route 50 and you're minutes from DC, Old Town, Tysons, and Reagan National. This is the one that surprises you - and then you can't imagine living anywhere else.
