MILLION DOLLAR VIEWS! Recently updated 5BR/3.5BA center hall Colonial offers breathtaking Potomac River views. This spacious 3-level home is tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Riverwood neighborhood of Alexandria. The elegant colonial offers a beautiful blend of timeless architectural details, gleaming hardwood floors on the main and upper levels, oversized windows, gracious living spaces, and amazing views of the Potomac River—all just minutes to Mount Vernon and Fort Belvoir.
Step through the double doors into the welcoming foyer with classic black slate tile. The light-filled formal living room features a wood-burning fireplace with an elegant mantle, while the separate dining room offers wainscoting and serene river views.
The heart of the home is the open kitchen and family room, with a cozy gas fireplace and walls of glass that frame panoramic water views. French doors lead to a spacious deck with a gazebo—your own private perch for morning coffee or evening sunsets over the Potomac. The kitchen includes brand new stainless steel appliances, a breakfast nook, and a breakfast bar. An office with built-ins and a half bath complete the main level.
Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms are filled with natural light, and three offer scenic river views! The peaceful primary suite features a sitting area, two closets (including a walk-in), and an updated en suite bath with dual vanities. The hall bath has also been beautifully renovated and includes a dual vanity.
The finished walkout lower level features new luxury vinyl plank flooring, a spacious rec room with room for a game or pool table, a fifth bedroom, an updated full bath, and a large storage room. Step out from the rec room to a brick patio and a lush, landscaped yard. Set on over a third of an acre with an in ground sprinkler system, a fenced backyard, and mature trees. What truly sets this property apart are the sweeping Potomac River views that make every day feel like a retreat.
A two-car garage opens to the main-level laundry/mudroom, and the home offers generous storage throughout.
Riverwood is one of the few waterfront communities in the area that offers direct access to the Potomac River, with a private neighborhood path leading to a sandy beach, playground, basketball court, and picnic area—often the site of community events. Residents enjoy beautifully maintained common areas and a strong sense of community spirit. The neighborhood borders the historic grounds of Mount Vernon Estate and is just a short distance to Mansion House Swim & Tennis Club, Mount Vernon Country Club, and Grist Mill Park with its dog park and recreational fields.
Ideally located, Riverwood offers easy access to major commuter routes including Richmond Highway, the GW Parkway, and I-495—making travel throughout Northern Virginia and into Washington, DC, effortless. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby parks, scenic walking trails, and water activities along the Potomac.
This truly special property offers a rare combination of panoramic river views, architectural charm, and an unbeatable location in one of Alexandria’s most unique and sought-after communities.
