Welcome to 8609 Woodland Heights Court, a beautifully maintained Colonial tucked into a peaceful, wooded setting just half a mile from George Washington’s Mount Vernon estate. Surrounded by mature trees, flowering landscaping, and natural beauty, this nearly 4,000-square-foot home offers three finished levels designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Inside, a traditional floor plan features gracious formal spaces, with hardwood floors extending through the foyer, hallway, and kitchen. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops and updated appliances, including a GE double wall oven (2025), with windows overlooking the treetops. Just off the kitchen, the deck makes outdoor dining and entertaining effortless. The expansive family room, anchored by a fireplace, offers a comfortable retreat with views of the surrounding trees and abundant natural light. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features peaceful wooded views, a separate office or sitting room, expansive walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath. Three additional well-proportioned bedrooms complete the upper level. The finished walkout lower level adds even more flexibility with a spacious recreation room, guest bedroom, full bath, and direct access to the rear patio. Thoughtful improvements include a roof replaced approximately 3.5 years ago. Outside, the home is framed by flowering trees and plants that bloom at different times throughout the seasons, creating an ever-changing backdrop. The setting is just as special as the home. Woodland Park is known for its quiet, wooded surroundings and scenic neighborhood loop—a favorite for walkers that passes the community park and waterfront, where residents can fish, relax by the dock, launch a kayak, or catch glimpses of eagles and herons along Little Hunting Creek. A community boat launch provides access toward the Potomac River. Convenient to the George Washington Parkway, Old Town Alexandria, Washington, D.C., and nearby parks and trails, 8609 Woodland Heights Court combines generous living space, thoughtful updates, beautiful surroundings, and a rare connection to nature in an exceptional Mount Vernon location.
