1126 Portner Rd, Alexandria, VA 22314

1126 Portner Road is just TWO blocks from one of Old Town's main thoroughfares, but feels like home in a tranquil neighborhood. A cheerful yellow brick welcomes you onto the inviting front porch - a great space to catch-up with friends on warm, summer evenings. The structured landscaping in the front yard is ideal for those who prefer less yard maintenance. The main level includes spacious living and dining areas, with beautiful hardwood floors, chair rail, and large windows on both ends to allow eastern exposure in the morning and create ambiance in the evening. The kitchen is just off the dining room, an open peninsula counter providing a functional layout. Stainless steel appliances and a convenient hanging storage rack overhead make the most of the space. The back door opens to a secluded elevated patio with a pergola, big enough for a small table and chairs to enjoy your morning coffee or tea. The fully fenced, brick patio below is lined with flower beds, ready for your green thumb! Upstairs resides two bedrooms and hall bath, hardwood flooring throughout. The primary has two closets for extra storage. The recreation room on the lower level is the perfect space for a family or game room. A wood-burning fireplace in the corner creates a cozy space, while the extensive built-in shelving provides organization for your favorite games, books, and memories. Off the rec. room is the storage and laundry area, with full size washer and dryer, and a wall of additional shelving. There is access to the backyard via walkout stairs past the laundry area and the full lower-level bathroom. Parking is abundant on the street right out front. Less than 1 mile to Braddock Metro Station - great for commuting to DC - and within walking distance to Old Town restaurants like Oak Steakhouse and Rustico, or Tropical Smoothie and Haute Dogs & Fries for a more casual bite to eat. Harris Teeter and Trader Joe's are 8 minute and 11 minute walks, respectively - easily grocery shop after work or stop in for a quick trip. Access to Route 1 and the GW Parkway is one block away, whether you're commuting or exploring new areas. The Mount Vernon bike path runs along the Potomac, 2 blocks from your front door, for early morning runs or leisurely Saturday afternoon bike rides.
