Five Bedrooms in the One-Acre Wood
In the Alexandria neighborhood of Moore Hill Estates, this five-bedroom ranch-style house enjoys an acre-sized wooded lot. There are pathways winding around the house and its yard, and a wrap-around porch which connects to a spacious wooden deck which creates a carport. Most of the main level is beneath an exposed wood beam ceiling, and the living room and family room both have fireplaces recessed into brick accent walls. Beneath a series of clerestory windows, interlocked wood paneling creates a den-like partition between the living room and the formal dining room. Four of the bedrooms, including the generous owner's suite, have sliding glass doors opening onto the outdoor space.
