Property Description
Tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac, 5570 La Vista Drive is a spacious and beautiful 5-bedroom, 4-bath home offering over 3,800+ finished sq ft of inviting living space in a prime Alexandria location. The grand entrance, highlighted by a large arched window and stately columns, welcomes you inside. Beyond the entry, a generous home office with custom built-ins and thoughtful lighting provides a quiet space for work or study. The main floor balances style and function, featuring a formal dining room with modern fixtures, a bedroom with convenient en-suite access to a full bath—a unique benefit in this neighborhood—and a cozy living room anchored by a gas fireplace. Large windows fill the space with natural light, including several striking custom-painted panes that add character and charm. The kitchen is perfect for everyday living and entertaining, with a gas cooktop, double ovens, refrigerator with icemaker, plenty of counter space and storage, plus a built-in desk for added functionality. There's also a counter area with space for chairs—great for casual meals or morning coffee—and an adjacent flexible space that can serve as a second dining area or an additional living room, depending on your needs.
Upstairs, four generous bedrooms include a show stopping primary suite with vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, and a luxurious bath featuring a two-person jetted soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanities, and a separate water closet. A hall bath with dual sinks and an upper-level laundry room add to daily convenience. Beautiful wood floors run throughout the main and upper levels.
The lower level is a versatile retreat with a large recreation area that easily fits a ping pong table and a cozy den setup. French doors provide walk-up access to the backyard, bringing in natural light and creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A personal barre studio offers space for workouts or stretching. Whether hosting movie nights, exercising, or accommodating guests, this level adapts effortlessly. There's also a bonus room, a full bath, and generous storage room.
Step outside to a private, tree-shaded backyard featuring a spacious, low-maintenance Trex deck—installed in 2017—and a paved stone patio, ideal for everything from morning coffee and quiet reading to summer barbecues and outdoor gatherings. The shaded setting offers a peaceful retreat, while the deck and patio provide plenty of room for seating, dining, or container gardening. Additional conveniences include a 2-car garage and a built-in intercom system.
Recent updates include a brand-new driveway, fresh landscaping, new lighting, and refinished wood floors on the main and upper levels (2025). Both HVAC systems were replaced in 2022 and a new flagstone walkway at the entrance was added in 2020.
Enjoy the advantages of living on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering added privacy and minimal traffic—great for families and outdoor activities. At the same time, you're just 1 mile from the nearest bus stop, less than 3 miles to the Metro, and minutes from Kingstowne, Old Town Alexandria, DC, 495, the GW Parkway, and DCA. This location combines a great neighborhood feel with easy access to everything you need.
