Welcome to Your New Home at 5617 Old Mill Road, also known within the Woodlawn Manor
neighborhood as "Dogwood Cottage"—the name given to the house by the current owners because of
the number of established Dogwood trees on the property. Located on the historic ground of George
Washington’s Union Farm within the Mount Vernon and Woodlawn viewshed, this home imbues New
England charm and is part of the deep history stretching between Mt. Vernon and Old Town Alexandria. Constructed in 1947, this Cape offers classic charm combined with modernization needed
for today's busy lifestyle. The original floor plan has been altered slightly to form an open floor plan for
the kitchen and dining space. Plus, the addition of a four season sunroom expands your living space with
year-round comfort. The updated kitchen offers a Thermador electric stove, granite CT, a custom walk-in pantry,
and a mud-room entry. Don't overlook the arched doorways that are in keeping with the New England
feel of this lovely home highlighted by a decorative fireplace in the formal living room/parlor. A
bedroom and renovated full bath complete the main living area. The upper level maintains the feel of an
early New England home with two well-appointed dormered bedrooms and an updated second full
bath. A full unfinished basement offers room for expansion. If outdoor living is your sweet spot, you will
find the nearly 3/4 acre corner lot to your liking. The yard is filled with vibrant color through much of the
year from a magnificent old Southern Magnolia, Yoshino Cherries and of course, Dogwoods. Located just
two miles from Historic Mount Vernon and walking/cycling paths along the Potomac, this centrally
located community and the surrounding area boasts a quick and beautiful commute to DC along the
George Washington Memorial Parkway.  For those with Military affiliations, Fort Belvoir’s Walker Gate is
just a half mile away. Catch a Vegas show or try your luck at nearby National Harbor, home of the
infamous MGM Grand Casino Resort – just 20 minutes away. Easy access to National Airport and
National Landing, the home of Amazon (HQ2). Do not hesitate, take advantage of this rare opportunity
to make Mt Vernon and "Dogwood Cottage" your home today. PROPERTY SOLD "AS IS"
