7040 Quander Rd, Alexandria, VA 22307

Sited on a beautifully landscaped quarter-acre lot along a charming sidewalk-lined street, 7040 Quander Road blends classic craftsmanship and thoughtful updates! Originally built in 1952—believed to be the personal residence of renowned builder Bud Gosnell—this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home offers over 3,200 finished square feet across two expansive levels! Inside, the heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, fully remodeled in 2016 with white cabinetry, a contrasting gray island, quartz and butcher block countertops, and high-end LG appliances, including a 5-burner gas range and French door refrigerator. The wall between the kitchen and dining area was opened up to enhance the flow and natural light, making it an entertainer’s dream. Features include refinished hardwood floors throughout the main level, and blackout shades and ceiling fans in each main level bedroom. The primary suite underwent a full transformation in 2018, now featuring a spa-like bathroom with heated floors, frameless glass shower, a high-tech Japanese bidet toilet, and walk-in closet. The fully finished lower level adds flexibility with a legal fourth bedroom (egress window added in 2023), updated full bath, new vinyl flooring, and a fully equipped kitchenette to make this space the perfect for guests, in-laws, or potential rental income. Two cozy gas fireplaces (one with a 2023 insert) bring warmth and ambiance to both levels. Outside, the home's curb appeal captivates with its slate roof, flagstone walkway, and a striking front facade of brick and stone. The rear exterior continues to impress with durable Hardie siding and brickwork. Included with the property is Outlot C, providing a combined lot size of over 10,940 square feet (0.2511 acres). A resurfaced pool (2019) with new coping, heater, filter, and pump sits within a thoughtfully designed yard featuring a custom round patio, expanded stair landings, and lush privacy. The garage has been fully finished and climate-controlled with a mini-split system, offering ideal space for a workshop, gym, or studio. Every major system has been updated: electrical panel (2015), tankless water heater (2018), AC (2021), sump pump (2023), and more. Even the doors, windows, and door hardware. The wonderful HEATED Pool has a safety fence that is easily installed and will convey with the home! With just four owners since it was built, this home has been lovingly maintained and meticulously upgraded. This home is centrally located with easy access to local shopping and retail, local parks, rec center, and just a few miles to National Airport and Washington DC.
