7147 Barry RoadAlexandria, VA 22315Price: $724,950

Two elegant stacked-stone monuments lead to the entrance drive of 7147 Barry Road, a very unique property sited on a beautifully landscaped half-acre lot in a wonderful location close to everything. This home has been officially designated an Urban Wildlife Sanctuary. It's an easy walk to the Franconia/Springfield Metro just down the street where a major capital upgrade will be done in July of this year. There are two buildings and two storage sheds on the lot. The main house is a 2-bedroom 1-bath rambler. Commune with nature on its large patio hideaway framed by flowering perennials and scenic greenery. To one side is a soothing pond/water feature. Inside, there are hardwood floors in the living room, family room and both bedrooms. The living room has a bay window and built-in bookshelves. The family room has a mini wood-stove on a stone platform with a brick and wood wall behind. A door leads from there to the patio. In the kitchen, you'll see the tile floor, vaulted ceiling and ceramic double-sink. There's also a pantry and laundry room. The second building is only limited by your imagination. It could be a home-based business, art studio, or you could start fresh and build your own dream home. The studio has a full bath and a bedroom not-to-code. The room is good-sized with a double-window. In addition to being super-close to Metro, this property is easy access to all transportation routes, and just down the street from Fort Belvoir, Wegman's and two town centers!
