**Assumable VA Loan at 2.25%** Welcome to this beautifully updated Cape Cod with main-level primary and swimming pool tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Mount Vernon. Thoughtfully designed with over 4,000 square feet of finished living space, this freshly-painted, move-in ready home blends classic charm with modern updates to create an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
The main level features a spacious primary suite with a modern bathroom with dual sinks. A beautiful walk-in closet and convenient main-level laundry room were created using a second main-level bedroom. (Could be converted back if a second main level BR is needed). The inviting living room has large-plank hardwood floors and is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, while the open kitchen showcases quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and flows seamlessly into a bright sunroom/playroom. Custom built-in benches provide charming additional seating while offering valuable hidden storage for toys, household items, and more. The family room has built in bookshelves and opens to a private balcony overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard with pool, creating a peaceful retreat surrounded by mature trees.
Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a full hall bathroom with a tub. A walk-in storage area is conveniently located in the upstairs hallway
The expansive lower level offers flexibility and multiple storage closets. A large recreation area featuring another fireplace, a separate room with window ideal for guests or a private home office, and an additional room currently configured as part of an au pair suite. A wet bar and full bathroom make the lower level exceptionally functional for extended-stay guests, a live-in nanny, entertaining, or multigenerational living.
Outside, the picturesque backyard is truly the highlight of the property. Surrounded by mature trees for privacy, the beautifully designed outdoor space features a gorgeous pool and a built-in fire pit area with water feature, perfect for relaxing evenings and entertaining friends and family. The current owners make approximately $30k each summer renting out the pool on Swimply, the "AirBnb for pools." Kids will enjoy the play set, which conveys with the home. Additional yard space at the back of the property offers even more opportunity.
An attached garage provides convenience and additional storage, while a separate full bathroom in the garage opens directly to the backyard, giving pool guests easy access to a modern bath without having to enter the main house.
Over five years the owners have invested over $400k in improvements to the house and grounds and have comprehensive receipts and invoices. The largest projects: a whole-home renovation in 2021, new roof in 2021, new hardwood flooring in 2022, a new central HVAC system in 2022, 14 new Pella windows in 2022 and 2023 with a new Pella sliding glass door in 2024, a new garage-level bathroom and a lower level hall bathroom renovation in 2024, new GE Cafe stainless steel kitchen appliances in 2024, new pool deck in 2024, new pool liner and stairs in 2025, and a new stone patio and fire pit in 2025.
With its thoughtful floor plan, abundant flexible living space, beautiful private grounds, and sought-after location minutes from George Washington's Mount Vernon location and less than 10 minutes from Fort Belvoir and 10 minutes to I-95, this home offers an exceptional combination of comfort, character, and indoor-outdoor living.
