Property Description

1315 Lafayette Drive

Spacious, suburban living with all the walkable comforts of an urban lifestyle close to Old Town Alexandria and a quick commute to downtown DC. Construction on this beautiful home in idyllic Hollin Hall Village was completed by a premier local builder in 2016, and it still shines like new. At almost 5,000 SF on 4 levels, this home offers abundant and versatile space for entertaining, relaxing, getting a workout in, working from home, and distance learning. Gleaming hardwood floors greet you as you enter the expansive open plan main floor that’s filled with natural light thanks to abundant large windows. The crisp, white eat-in kitchen with Carrara marble countertops is outfitted with a professional-grade Wolf range and top of the line Kitchenaid appliances, including an oversized refrigerator. The kitchen opens onto the family, dining, and living rooms, providing expansive space ideal for entertaining and hosting holidays.

A TV mounted to the house swivels to offer a great view of the game or the latest Netflix binge from the bar or from the dining area under the shaded pergola.
