Off a Creek Without a Paddle

Just up a hill from Little Hunting Creek in southern Alexandria, this four bedroom house has a path down to a private dock at the water's edge. The open living/dining room has two huge picture windows at the center of one wall, and glass doors on either side of the windows open onto a deck. The bones of a wall separate the living/dining room from the kitchen, creating floating shelves and a pass-through window/breakfast bar. Modern cabinetry conceals the fridge, and there are stacked ovens next to a built-in desk spanning a window with a bar area on the other side. Two bedrooms and 2.5 baths are on the main level, and up a few stairs, the other two bedroom suites are off a skylit landing, with the owner's bedroom offering a fireplace and access to a balcony.The community where the house is located also has a pool and tennis court.

The one-wall kitchen has a refrigerator recessed into an adjacent wall and has floating shelves amidst its cabinetry, including one mounted on the subway-tiled backsplash. A stainless steel farmhouse basin sink shares a counter with the integrated cooktop, and the kitchen also enjoys natural light from the living area, where gridded windows make up the majority of the far wall.
