1120 FRANCIS HAMMOND PARKWAY, ALEXANDRIA, VA 22302

Built in 1960, the unique 1120 Francis Hammond home is an oasis ready for an owner seeking a life of peaceful luxury. As a designated wildlife refuge area, awarded two beautification awards, this property wows you from every angle, made even more intricate with its walking bridge, extending over the stream that flows through the entire yard. As one of only six homes on a cul-de-sac that dead ends to Forest Park you’re surrounded by nature and the calming energy. Impeccably maintained with luxury touches throughout the home including oversize windows providing abundance of light, and vaulted ceilings atop the new hardwood floors.

The expansive driveway guides you to the two-car garages and offers your first view of your peaceful abode. As you cross the front porch and enter the home, the foyer leads you up the steps to the living room, with a wood-burning fireplace and dentil molding accented mantel featured prominently. As if made for entertainment, the living room glides easily into the sitting room, providing additional space for your guests. For your more special occasions, the dining room is located just off the kitchen and conveniently accommodates everyone in your family. The eat-in kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an abundance of storage, a center island with breakfast bar, and a fireplace – perfect for the chilly morning Virginia autumns and winters bring us. The french-doors will (guide) you to your patio – perfect for morning coffee and a book.

The first level hosts the owner’s suite which is, of course, as luxurious as the home. Boasting a walk-in closet and a tranquil ensuite, home to a rainfall showerhead, you’re set up for prime relaxation. The additional two bedrooms on the main floor share an updated bathroom, both spacious to accomodate any of your needs or hobbies. The lower level is fully finished, hosting the recreational or family room with the third wood-burning fireplace in the home. The plush carpet & custom built-ins offer the perfect setup for a movie night. For any long-stay guests or an au-pair, the fourth bedroom and full bath offer privacy and comfortability you’d want to offer.

This home balances ‘tucked away’ and ‘centrally located’ beautifully. With proximity to local parks, schools, recreation centers, and easy commute access to D.C. via metro or 395 / 495.
