Welcome to Taylor Run – a neighborhood as desirable as it is convenient. Tucked just off the main thoroughfare of Duke Street, 131 East Taylor Run Parkway offers the best of both worlds: close to everything, yet a quiet retreat. Love walkability? You’ll be about a mile from King Street Metro, Amtrak, and VRE, with all the dining, shopping, and historic appeal of Old Town Alexandria just beyond. Everyday conveniences are at your fingertips with Whole Foods and Wegmans nearby, Douglas McArthur elementary school within walking distance, plus Angel Park just one street over – complete with a playground, basketball court, and baseball field. Commuters will also appreciate quick on/off access to I-495. *** This home itself is a brick half-duplex with wood flooring on the upper two levels and ceramic tile in the kitchen and lower level. Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms with a hall bath. The lower level is fully finished with full bath, walk-up access to the side yard, and flexible space that can remain two rooms or be combined into a large rec room or 4th bedroom. The kitchen has its own side entrance and a wide pass-through to the combined dining and living space. The side windows face south bringing in lots of natural light. TheOutside, the front yard is fenced and adjacent to a driveway that easily fits two cars in tandem. The back yard is fully fenced with patio and upper deck adjacent to a terraced hillside. Two large sheds provide ample storage for your outdoor stuff, and an extensive drainage system (approx 2003) is designed to handle even heavy downpours. *** Updates include A/C (approx 2005), W/D (approx 2004), roof (approx 2018). The home has been well loved and awaits your personal touches. It's priced lower than other recent sales in the neighborhood plus the sellers are offering a $40K subsidy at settlement to help you get immediately started on customizing! *** For the investment minded – note that 133 East Taylor Run Parkway, the adjoining half of the duplex, is coming soon - expected on the market in about a week. Imagine the possibilities: purchase both and live in one while renting the other, hold them both as investment properties!
