1200 ALEXANDRIA AVE
Alexandria, VA 22308

Description:

Welcome to 1200 Alexandria Ave, a beautifully reimagined brick colonial in the heart of Fort Hunt’s desirable Tauxemont neighborhood. This timeless home was fully remodeled in 2025 by the Zelaya Homes team, blending classic architecture with high-end finishes and thoughtful design throughout. Situated on a flat 0.4-acre corner lot, the property offers a large side yard—ideal for play, entertaining, or potential additions like a pool or sport court. The main level features a traditional yet functional floor plan with 9’ ceilings, a formal dining room perfect for hosting, a family room, a sunny living room with a wood-burning fireplace (complete with gas line for future insert), a main-level study that can double as a 7th bedroom, and a fully finished four-season sunroom with built-in wall AC and access to the new Trex deck and patio. The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home and has been completely redone with semi-custom soft-close cabinetry, premium quartz countertops with ogee edging, under-cabinet lighting, a commercial-grade 48” Thor gas range with a pot filler and custom range hood, a 42” Sub-Zero fridge with in-door water and ice dispenser, drawer microwave, dishwasher, dual-zone beverage and wine fridge, a deep 36” apron-front sink with a prep sink on the island, and a walk-in pantry with built-ins and a unique pantry access door to the garage for easy grocery unloading. Upstairs, the primary suite is a showstopper, featuring soaring cathedral ceilings with custom wood beams, expanded closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom. The luxurious bath includes marble floor and wall tile, an oversized soaking tub (72”x36”), heated floors, a dual-sink custom vanity with extra storage, built-in LED-lit mirrors, and a large walk-in shower with dual showerheads, a hand sprayer, and bench seating. The upstairs also includes a new laundry room and completely renovated secondary bathrooms, each featuring designer tile and Delta fixtures. The fully finished basement now includes two additional bedrooms with egress windows, a large recreation area, and a custom wet bar with mini fridge, microwave, and sink. New plush carpet, recessed LED lighting, and stylish finishes make it a welcoming extension of the home’s living space. The $500K+ renovation includes new architectural asphalt shingles, new gutters, new custom wood painted functional shutters, fresh landscaping, and upgraded exterior lighting with authentic gas-burning lanterns. Inside, new hardwood floors have been installed and refinished on both the main and upper levels. Every room features upgraded lighting, dimmable recessed LEDs, and designer fixtures. Extensive custom millwork includes crown molding, trim, and ceiling accents throughout. The garage includes new insulated doors, an epoxy-coated floor, and a built-in dog wash. Smart home touches include Ecobee thermostats. The upstairs HVAC units are new as of June 20, 2025. The lower level HVAC systems and water heater were professionally serviced and remain negotiable for replacement, if requested by the buyer. 1200 Alexandria Ave is ideally located in the walkable Tauxemont community—just steps from parks, playgrounds, sport courts, coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, hardware and pharmacy essentials, and the beloved Mount Vernon Park Association with three swimming pools, tennis courts, a private pond, and more. Enjoy easy access to the scenic George Washington Parkway, Old Town Alexandria, the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir, Amazon HQ2, and Downtown D.C. Located in the highly rated Waynewood Elementary School district, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare opportunity for luxury living in an established, close-knit neighborhood.
