635 UPLAND PL

***SEVERAL APPLICATIONS RECEIVED. THE HOMEOWNERS ARE MAKING A DECISION. Commute with ease from this 3 bed, 2 full bath home in George Washington Park! Built on a one acre plot - a rare find in Alexandria! - this single family home has a wonderful yard for outdoor entertaining and the proximity to public transportation you've been looking for. Less than a mile to the King Street Metro Station and Amtrak Alexandria station, your commute is a straight walk down the road. Multiple bus stops along King Street are at your disposal to transport you anywhere in the city, whether deeper into Old Town for a night out, to Del Ray for a shopping trip along Mount Vernon Avenue, or to the Pentagon for work. 635 Upland Pl sits right behind the George Washington Masonic Temple - enjoy a picnic in the park or the evening light displays under the veil of history. This home has been modestly upgraded, with a finished lower level space and full bath. Enter through the mudroom addition to find a charming blue foyer, ideal for shoe baskets, coat racks, and an accommodating bench. The rest of the main level is cozy, a large living and dining room combo with a wood burning fireplace and brick surround, a bay window looking out onto the back acre of the land, and a sweeping blank wall waiting for an art display or big comfy couch to fill it. The kitchen has pale counters and white cabinets, allowing the soft blue and grey hues of the backsplash to pop. The two bedrooms on the main level are similar in size, and both have newly upgraded fans for added summer circulation. The full bath they share has a freshly re-caulked shower tub. Upstairs you'll find the finished attic space, with windows large enough to make a third bedroom. It's hardwood floors span the entire length of the home, with three access doors to additional storage. The lower level tile floors make for easy clean up - after a muddy day in the backyard, bring in pets through the lower level back door and throw dirty clothes and shoes straight into the laundry in the next room. The wooded, one acre lot is hard to come by in Alexandria, and presents a variety of entertaining options. Experiment with cooking in the brick outdoor oven residing in the backyard, or invite friends and family over for spring happy hours or outdoor barbeques. Watch the autumn leaves change color in the spacious yard or over the hill near the Masonic Temple. Homeowner will cover lawn and gutter maintenance costs; tenant pays for utilities. ***6 month lease preferred***
