Property Description

Welcome to 5856 Doris Drive, a lovely updated mid century home located in Dowden Terrace
next to Dora Kelley Nature Park and Holmes Run Trail in West Alexandria. This beautifully
maintained, freshly painted 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with refinished hardwood floors sits
on a large peaceful corner lot next to a cul-de sac. You'll immediately notice the lovely curb
appeal with beautiful mature landscaping and an expansive patio/deck area. Upon entering,
you'll be greeted by a bright and airy living room with floor to ceiling windows that let in an
abundance of natural light. The living room, with a beautiful gas fireplace flows seamlessly into
the dining room, perfect for hosting dinners and entertaining guests. The upgraded and modern
kitchen is a cook's dream, complete with stainless steel appliances, silestone countertops,
waterfall peninsula, and ample cabinet space for all your storage needs. The adjoining dining
area offers amazing space to enjoy your meals and take in the views from the huge floor to
ceiling windows. The main level offers 3 bedrooms including the primary suite and a luxurious
bathroom with walk-in shower. The fully renovated lower level of this home offers even more
tranquil living space with a large family room, private patio entrance, study area, kitchenette/wet
bar with beverage fridge, sink and great storage. Another wonderful space for entertaining and
family gatherings. The lower level also includes a large bedroom with a walk-in closet adjacent
to a full bathroom that was built with wheelchair accessibility in mind, as well as great storage
and a laundry area. Outside, this quiet corner lot offers great views of the neighborhood with 2
different areas to enjoy the outdoors. In just a few short weeks this peaceful home will be
surrounded by a landscape of colorful flowers and budding trees. The neighborhood offers
walking and biking trails that stretch to Old Town Alexandria, a playground, and a membership
pool just a few blocks away. Conveniently located to I-395, Dash and express buses to the
Pentagon and King Street metro stations, less than 10 miles to downtown DC, Reagan
International Airport, and the new HQ2/National Landing; less than 15 miles to Tysons Corner.
You simply can't ask for a better location in the heart of Alexandria, in a quiet tranquil
neighborhood SO close to walking trails and all the conveniences of modern living!
Look no further as you could be the third owner of this beautiful home located in a well
established peaceful neighborhood.
