Welcome to 1709 Maple Hill Pl

From the moment you turn onto our quiet cul de sac, not a through street, you understand why we always felt we had the best homesite in Maple Hill, perched up above the community and backing to mature trees that give us real privacy along with a gorgeous flat backyard, fully fenced and beautifully landscaped, where we have spent countless evenings on the huge paver patio entertaining friends while the kids run around, plus a two car garage and driveway that has made parking for gatherings so easy. We bought this five bedroom, three full bath brick and Hardie mid-century modern, built by Robinson-Thayer, when every inch of it was outdated, and we renovated it top to bottom with real love and care, putting on a new roof in 2020, replacing the windows in 2022, and installing a new water heater in 2025, all while choosing one consistent timeless color palette throughout so the home would always feel on trend, and you feel that intention the second you walk through the spacious foyer onto wide plank French oak LVP that runs through the whole home, with one panel doors and recessed lighting in every single room. The kitchen, fully remodeled in 2021, is where we spent most of our time, with a huge island with seating, forty two inch white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, a cooktop, built in oven, range hood, stainless appliances, French door fridge, built in microwave, and a deep farmhouse apron sink, sitting beneath a wall of windows that frames the most beautiful view in the community and opens right into a family room with soaring ceilings, a fireplace flanked by built in bookcases and wrapped in shiplap, and light pouring in through the slider doors, all on real hardwood floors that continue through the generously sized main level bedrooms, including a primary suite with a bath we completely renovated in 2024, featuring a freestanding soaking tub, a seamless glass shower, and a dual sink vanity, plus a huge walk in closet with its own organization system and a secondary bath finished with the same on trend tile, shiplap, vanity, and lighting. Hardwood stairs carry you down to a lower level we most recently finished as a media room, with a wood burning fireplace surrounded in brick, a bar area with a beverage fridge and white shaker cabinetry, and a setup ready for a projector screen for movie nights with popcorn, along with two more bedrooms we used as a home gym and a guest suite, a third full bath with that same timeless palette, and a laundry and pantry area with more storage than we ever filled, giving you real flexibility to work from home on either level. What we will miss most has nothing to do with the house itself, it is the neighbors who came to our wedding and celebrated our son's first birthday with us, who still gather in the circle out front to ride bikes and draw with chalk, the walks with our dog through our back gate into Chinquapin Park and the trails leading to the Rec Center, tennis and basketball courts, and community gardens, and the weekend trips through that same gate to Fairlington for coffee at St Elmo's outdoor window, Ramparts, and Harvest, all just minutes from Old Town Alexandria, Shirlington, the GW Parkway, King Street Metro, Pentagon City, Amazon's headquarters, and 495, with the HOA even handling the yard work, trash, exterior painting, and snow removal so all that is left for you to do here is live.

Maple Hill
A secluded enclave of architect-designed homes in Alexandria
Maple Hill is one of Alexandria's quiet secrets, a secluded enclave of just fifteen architect-designed brick homes tucked off Janneys Lane around a single peaceful cul-de-sac. Built in 1977 with high ceilings, generous proportions, and two-car garages, these are substantial detached homes, and yet the association looks after the exteriors, so daily life comes with a rare, low-maintenance ease. What truly sets Maple Hill apart, though, is the neighbors.

Private Road Maintenance
Reserve Funds
The Maple Hill assessment is $1,500 semi-annually, roughly $250 a month. What stands out is how much it covers for a community of fee-simple homes: the association repaints the home exteriors on a regular cycle (about every four to five years) and maintains the rear fences, along with lawn care, leaf and snow removal, the enclave's private road, and reserve funds. Confirm the current amount and the exterior-painting schedule in the resale packet.

A Rare Kind of Low-Maintenance
Here is the unusual part. These are detached, fee-simple homes, the kind you would normally maintain entirely on your own, yet at Maple Hill the association handles the big exterior jobs: it repaints the houses on a regular cycle, keeps up the rear fences, and takes care of the lawns, leaves, snow, and the enclave's private road. You get the space and privacy of a single-family home with something much closer to townhome ease.
A Small, Secluded Enclave
With only fifteen homes arranged around a quiet cul-de-sac off Janneys Lane, Maple Hill has an intimate, tucked-away feel that almost never comes to market. The homes are distinctive brick contemporaries with colonial details, architect-designed and generously sized, with high ceilings, four and five bedrooms, two-car garages, and private patios and yards. It is the kind of hidden pocket you could drive past for years without ever knowing it was there.
A Genuine Neighborhood
Ask the people who live here what makes Maple Hill special, and they rarely start with the houses. The cul-de-sac out front is the enclave's social heart, and the tight-knit community that has grown up around it is the real draw.

"What we will miss most has nothing to do with the house itself. It is the neighbors who came to our wedding and celebrated our son's first birthday with us, who still gather in the circle out front to ride bikes and draw with chalk."

Life Beyond Your Front Door

Old Town Alexandria
Along the banks of the Potomac, Old Town Alexandria is one of the D.C. region's most beloved historic districts, known for its beautifully preserved 18th- and 19th-century architecture, brick-lined sidewalks, and lively waterfront. Centered on the mile-long King Street corridor, it blends chef-driven restaurants, boutique shopping, galleries, and cultural landmarks with riverfront dining, boat cruises, and a year-round calendar of festivals, timeless character paired with a cosmopolitan lifestyle.

A Straight Shot Down King Street
From this home, King Street runs almost directly to the heart of Old Town and the waterfront, so an evening out is an easy trip. The mile-long corridor packs in restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and history, ending at the Potomac with riverfront parks, boat cruises, and water taxis to D.C. and National Harbor.
Dining & Cocktails
Old Town's culinary scene pairs historic ambiance with an impressive range, from upscale steakhouses and classic taverns to waterfront patios and globally inspired kitchens. Colonial-era Gadsby's Tavern and Landini Brothers sit alongside newer waterfront draws like BARCA Pier and Ada's on the River.

Shopping & Boutiques
With more than 200 independent shops, Old Town offers one of Northern Virginia's most distinctive retail experiences. King Street and the side streets are lined with art galleries, specialty stores, and locally owned boutiques rather than chains, giving the district a curated, one-of-a-kind feel.

Culture & the Waterfront
Old Town is as much a cultural destination as a dining and shopping district. The Potomac waterfront anchors it, with parks, boat cruises, and water taxis, while galleries, museums, and intimate live-music venues showcase the city's colonial and maritime roots alongside a vibrant arts community.

Del Ray
Del Ray is Alexandria's beloved "Main Street" neighborhood, a walkable, artsy, family- and dog-friendly enclave centered on Mount Vernon Avenue, known simply as The Avenue. Tree-lined streets and brightly colored storefronts hold an eclectic mix of independent shops, a chef-driven restaurant scene, and the holistic businesses of its Wellness District, all wrapped in a creative, quirky spirit, a genuine small-town sense of community, and a packed calendar of street festivals.

"Where Main Street Still Exists"
Del Ray trades big-box sameness for a made-for-strolling avenue of locally owned shops and restaurants, murals and art, and a famously tight-knit, dog-friendly community. It is the kind of place where the frozen-custard shop once drew a sitting president and where the whole neighborhood turns out for a street festival on the first Thursday of the month.
Dining & Sips
The Avenue's dining is homegrown and genuinely loved, from Cheesetique's celebrated mac and cheese and Evening Star's twinkle-lit Front Porch to nationally ranked Pork Barrel BBQ and the frozen custard at the Dairy Godmother. Latin favorites, bakeries, and coffee pubs round out a scene built for regulars.

Del Ray punches well above its size culturally. The legendary Birchmere, an intimate 500-seat music hall, has hosted everyone from Ray Charles to today's touring acts, while Del Ray Artisans, public murals, and easy access to parks and the Mount Vernon Trail keep the creative, outdoorsy spirit going.
