1709 MAPLE HILL PLACE

From the moment you turn onto our quiet cul de sac, not a through street, you understand why we always felt we had the best homesite in Maple Hill, perched up above the community and backing to mature trees that give us real privacy along with a gorgeous flat backyard, fully fenced and beautifully landscaped, where we have spent countless evenings on the huge paver patio entertaining friends while the kids run around, plus a two car garage and driveway that has made parking for gatherings so easy. We bought this five bedroom, three full bath brick and Hardie mid-century modern, built by Robinson-Thayer, when every inch of it was outdated, and we renovated it top to bottom with real love and care, putting on a new roof in 2020, replacing the windows in 2022, and installing a new water heater in 2025, all while choosing one consistent timeless color palette throughout so the home would always feel on trend, and you feel that intention the second you walk through the spacious foyer onto wide plank French oak LVP that runs through the whole home, with one panel doors and recessed lighting in every single room. The kitchen, fully remodeled in 2021, is where we spent most of our time, with a huge island with seating, forty two inch white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, a cooktop, built in oven, range hood, stainless appliances, French door fridge, built in microwave, and a deep farmhouse apron sink, sitting beneath a wall of windows that frames the most beautiful view in the community and opens right into a family room with soaring ceilings, a fireplace flanked by built in bookcases and wrapped in shiplap, and light pouring in through the slider doors, all on real hardwood floors that continue through the generously sized main level bedrooms, including a primary suite with a bath we completely renovated in 2024, featuring a freestanding soaking tub, a seamless glass shower, and a dual sink vanity, plus a huge walk in closet with its own organization system and a secondary bath finished with the same on trend tile, shiplap, vanity, and lighting. Hardwood stairs carry you down to a lower level we most recently finished as a media room, with a wood burning fireplace surrounded in brick, a bar area with a beverage fridge and white shaker cabinetry, and a setup ready for a projector screen for movie nights with popcorn, along with two more bedrooms we used as a home gym and a guest suite, a third full bath with that same timeless palette, and a laundry and pantry area with more storage than we ever filled, giving you real flexibility to work from home on either level. What we will miss most has nothing to do with the house itself, it is the neighbors who came to our wedding and celebrated our son's first birthday with us, who still gather in the circle out front to ride bikes and draw with chalk, the walks with our dog through our back gate into Chinquapin Park and the trails leading to the Rec Center, tennis and basketball courts, and community gardens, and the weekend trips through that same gate to Fairlington for coffee at St Elmo's outdoor window, Ramparts, and Harvest, all just minutes from Old Town Alexandria, Shirlington, the GW Parkway, King Street Metro, Pentagon City, Amazon's headquarters, and 495, with the HOA even handling the yard work, trash, exterior painting, and snow removal so all that is left for you to do here is live.
