About the Listing LNG183 - 3087668

Welcome to 488 N Owen Street, a thoughtfully updated and meticulously maintained home in one of Alexandria’s most convenient and steadily evolving locations. Offering a rare combination of functional multi-level living, meaningful infrastructure improvements, and exceptional outdoor space, this residence delivers both immediate comfort and long-term value in the heart of 22304. Gorgeous wood floors and abundant natural light create an inviting first impression. The great room serves as the heart of the home, centered around a classic wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth, character, and a natural gathering point. Just a few steps up are three well-proportioned bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, providing privacy while maintaining an easy flow. A few steps down from the great room, the home opens into a spacious and bright dining room and kitchen level. This open area is designed for everyday living and entertaining, with ample space to gather. A second full bath is conveniently located on this level, along with a dedicated laundry room attached to the kitchen for practical daily function. Double doors lead directly from this space to a stone patio, creating a seamless indoor outdoor connection ideal for hosting and relaxing. Beyond the patio lies the property's standout feature: a large, fully fenced, flat backyard. Rare in both size and usability, this expansive outdoor space offers privacy, versatility, and a ready canvas for landscaping dreams, garden design, play areas, or future enhancements. The level yard significantly enhances both lifestyle and long term market appeal. The partially finished basement forms the fourth level of the home and has served as an excellent workshop. This flexible space offers opportunity for hobbies, creative projects, storage, or future customization to suit evolving needs. The home reflects careful ownership throughout, with new windows that enhance natural light and energy efficiency, new attic insulation for improved performance, and a new front door that adds curb appeal and refinement. Each update contributes to comfort today and confidence in the years ahead. Location further strengthens the property’s appeal. With quick access to I-395, the Pentagon, National Landing, and Old Town Alexandria, commuting and connectivity are effortless. Just minutes away, the new Inova hospital complex, currently under development, represents one of the area’s most significant investments, reinforcing long-term demand and positioning this home near a major growth corridor. Properties that combine thoughtful updates, flexible living space, substantial usable land, and proximity to transformative development are increasingly difficult to find. 488 N Owen Street offers a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking comfort, character, and strategic positioning in Alexandria’s dynamic market.
