45 ARELL CT Alexandria, VA 22304

Tucked in a peaceful HOA community off Duke St, this three level, end unit townhome shows in fantastic condition and offers spectacular living space, inside and out. Minutes from Old Town, shopping, dining, and commuter options are right around the corner from your cul-de-sac!

Set back in a secluded alcove in Quaker Village, 45 Arell Ct is one of the few end units in the community. The front entrance is staggered from its neighbors, giving the feel of a single-family home. The deep foyer inside gives guests room to take off their coats and begin to relax before ascending to the upper levels or down the hall to the main level living space. A family room, complete with gas fireplace, sets the tone for casual get-togethers. The wide room offers numerous furniture options, from an expansive sectional for the whole family to a foosball or pool table for entertaining. Even create a bedroom suite with seating area - your overnight guests will have a full private bath all to themselves! Walkout access to the amazing outdoor patio is just through the sliding glass doors; over $20k has been thoughtfully allocated to design the brick hardscape and outdoor lighting, creating the perfect summer evening atmosphere.

More living and entertaining spaces reside on the elegant upper level. The extraordinary view from the top of the steps oversees the open living and dining rooms filled with natural light from large windows on three sides. The living room boasts a second fireplace, wood-burning, with a stunning mantle and floor-to-ceiling surround, with intricate detail in the dentil and crown molding. Sliding doors lead to another outdoor sanctuary, the elevated back deck, overlooking the shaded brick patio below. The centered dining area, an intricate tray ceiling with adjustable chandelier elevates the space from casual to sophisticated. A bright, open kitchen occupies the front of the home, a fabulous bay window washing natural light over the granite counters and plentiful cabinet storage. The breakfast bar offers more counter space for meal prepping and the seating area provides creative license - a flexible space for a breakfast table and chairs or casual reading nook with abundant natural light. A discreet powder room on this level adds convenience for you and your guests.

The bedroom level is private, the top floor of the unit. A contemporary light fixture and architectural shelving at the top of the staircase highlight unique charm. The primary bedroom features a grand, vaulted ceiling and cut-out wall shelving above the door - prominently display favorite memories and keepsakes to make the intimate space your own. The attached primary bath creates an atmosphere conducive to major self-care - a soaking tub, separate shower with detailed tiling, and double sinks with a deep-set counter to keep your products organized just the way you like. The two other bedrooms share a full bath down the hall, and washer and dryer are located on this level for practical laundry days. A shaded one-car driveway rolls into the one-car garage, enough room for a full-sized SUV, plus additional storage. Inside access to the main level keeps you and your groceries dry on rainy afternoons. Visitor parking is available, first-come, first-serve, five open spots just around the corner from your home. Quaker Village is a friendly community with only 55 units and a suburban atmosphere. $325/quarter, the HOA covers water, sewer, electric, insurance, landscaping maintenance, pest control, and trash & snow removal.
