Description:

Welcome to the next chapter of refined living in the sought-after southeast quadrant of Old Town, Alexandria. Tucked behind a gated, 19th century brick wall, this beautifully updated four-level residence blends Old Town’s historic charm with modern comfort and flexible living spaces. Upon entry, you are greeted by newly refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and an open flow between the living and dining areas that seamlessly connects to a private brick-paved courtyard — perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors, with convenient side access as well. Living area based on floor plans is approximately 2,350 square feet across four finished levels. The main level features a bright, eat-in kitchen filled with natural light and generous workspace, enhanced by recently updated countertops and a stylish backsplash. A beautifully curated neutral color palette throughout the home has been freshly painted, creating a cohesive and inviting aesthetic. The two upper levels offer three bedrooms with three updated full bathrooms and generous built-in closets. The second level includes a stunning ensuite bedroom featuring a fireplace and bay window, as well as a second bedroom with a hallway bathroom. The uppermost level showcases a spacious owner’s suite with a beautifully renovated bathroom. The owner’s suite also includes access to a large attic storage area — a rare and highly-valued feature for Old Town properties. The fully finished lower level provides exceptional flexibility with a private exterior side entrance, large recreation room with new flooring, wood-burning fireplace, and a full bathroom—ideal for an in-law suite, guest space, or home office. Located in the quiet heart of the southeast quadrant, the home is three blocks from the riverwalk, bike trails, and restaurants on the Potomac waterfront, and four blocks from King Street shops and restaurants. Lee Street Park is just around the corner, with a tot lot, volleyball and basketball courts, and its well-known sledding hill. Safeway is a block away, and the free classic trolley and the King Street Metro Station put the amenities of DC within easy reach. Don’t miss this rare opportunity for a contemporary gem in the historic quarter of Old Town.
