This expanded and updated home is located in Columbia Pines, an established inside-the-Beltway community offering good-sized lots, charming houses and a location that can't be beat. The home is just a few minutes away from the play area and trails at Rose Lane Park, with Mason District Park also close by. Shopping, transportation and other services are all less than a mile away.

You are welcomed by an attractive, low-maintenance front porch and gorgeous landscaping throughout the level lot that offers interest year round. Step inside and you'll see that the interior is also well-maintained and updated. Gleaming hardwood floors run from the living and dining rooms into the three main level bedrooms. The updated kitchen includes 42" cherry wood cabinets with soft close pull-out organizers and under cabinet lighting, a dual fuel stove with vented microwave above, dishwasher (new in 2016), and 24 cubic ft refrigerator (new in 2020).
