53 S GORDON ST Alexandria, VA 22304

The love & attention given to this GORGEOUS 2 bed/1 bath, 3-level brick home really shines. And there's NO HOA! Revel in the sophistication of the newly-renovated open-concept kitchen with stunning granite counters, new white cabinets, new stainless steel appls. The renovated bathroom is a pleasing white and grey palette, featuring classic subway tile and chic fixtures. Each bedroom features custom closetry for maximum storage. Relax with a hobby or greet the day with coffee or yoga (or both) in the chic 3-season room (which is not included in the taxable square footage of the house), featuring walls of breeze-enhancing jalousie windows. The finished basement has brand new carpeting, paint and lighting - if you ever want to add a 2nd bath in the future, there's room here to do it! And then...there's the yard! Recently installed front yard retaining walls display colorful native flowering plants that attract finches and butterflies to this beautiful yard, which has been certified as a monarch butterfly garden. But that doesn't mean you'll be stuck doing a bunch of yard work - the yard is mostly mulched for easy maintenance with only a small patch of grass to mow, though you can add plenty more grass if you wish. But instead of doing a bunch of yard, work, why not pull up a chair to the backyard firepit for nights of fireside ghost tails and s'mores? There's even off-street parking in your own driveway. This home is way better than ordinary - it's uniquely special, with attention given to every detail. The sellers made thoughtful long-term choices for their beloved home, but a work transfer for them means a win for you. House is 'as is,' but in GREAT shape - the hard work's already been done for you! In addition to kitchen and bathroom renovations: Electrical Panel heavy up in 2017; Roof & Gutters replaced in 2018 (at a cost of $7800); Washer & Dryer replaced in 2017; new PELLA Windows installed in 2020; Kitchen Electrical & gas lines professionally updated 2020; freshly painted throughout. You'll want to call this special home "Mine." **Please take shoes OFF in the house for showings.
