About 811 26th Pl S

With four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a thoughtful layout across three levels—including a walkout basement—this home feels warm, welcoming, and lived in, in all the right ways. Mature landscaping and timeless curb appeal set the tone as you approach, while inside, hardwood floors add warmth and texture throughout the main living spaces. The sun-drenched living room invites slow mornings with coffee and conversation, while the dining area feels just right for lively dinners and holiday celebrations. The kitchen balances form and function, with just enough room to cook and gather without ever feeling crowded. Downstairs, the walkout basement offers a flexible retreat—think movie nights, a quiet office, or a cozy guest suite—complete with its own full bathroom. Upstairs, the bedrooms are peaceful and private, each offering a sense of comfort and calm. Out back, the yard feels like a hidden pocket of nature, ideal for grilling, gardening, or simply unwinding under the trees. A detached garage and private driveway provide plenty of space for parking and storage, while the dual-zoned HVAC keeps the home comfortable year-round. Situated in a location that’s hard to beat, you're just minutes from the energy of DC, the charm of Alexandria, the shops and dining of Shirlington, all accessible by your choice of 4 Metro stops; just moments away from H2Q, National Landing and more! Life here is easygoing, connected, and full of character—just like the home itself.
