Tucked away on a quiet street in sought-after Marlan Forest, 7117 Marlan Drive offers the perfect balance of thoughtful renovations, comfortable one-level living, and an extraordinary outdoor lifestyle. Set on a rare, flat 0.35-acre lot, this beautifully updated home feels like a private retreat while remaining close to everything that makes this Alexandria neighborhood so desirable.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully reimagined to enhance both everyday living and entertaining. The renovated and expanded kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and a matching bar area complete with beverage and wine refrigerators. Open to the surrounding living spaces, the kitchen creates a seamless flow that makes gathering with family and friends effortless.
The inviting living room is anchored by a gas fireplace and French doors that open to the charming front porch, while oversized windows surround the family room and dining area, filling the home with natural light and offering beautiful views of the backyard. The result is a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels both spacious and connected to the outdoors.
The main level includes three spacious bedrooms and two beautifully renovated full baths, including a stunning primary bath renovation completed in 2026. The walk-out lower level provides exceptional flexibility with a generous recreation room, third full bath, and the potential for a private guest suite or fourth bedroom. Ample storage and dedicated laundry space further enhance the home's thoughtful functionality.
What truly sets this property apart, however, is the backyard. Designed as a personal resort, the fully fenced outdoor space features a heated saltwater pool, separate hot tub, expansive green lawn, and meticulously maintained landscaping and hardscaping. Whether hosting summer gatherings, spending the afternoon poolside, or unwinding beneath the stars, the setting offers a sense of privacy and tranquility rarely found so close to the city.
Recent improvements have elevated nearly every aspect of the home, including the complete renovation and expansion of the kitchen (2024), remodeled lower level (2024), installation of a mini-split system (2024), replacement of the main HVAC system (2025), top-to-bottom primary bath renovation (2026), addition of a storage shed (2023), heated saltwater pool installation (2023), and hot tub installation (2023).
With 2,991 total square feet, beautifully updated interiors, and a backyard that feels like a private getaway, 7117 Marlan Drive offers a rare opportunity to enjoy resort-style living in the heart of Marlan Forest.
