AN ARCHITECTURAL TREASURE 

The antique still prevails in Old Town, Alexandria and thanks to devoted preservation, fine homes like this one continue to be available for purchase. This lovely home bears the coveted plaque of the Historic Alexandria Foundation given to designate historic significance and prestige. And this imposing brick, free-standing residence is well-deserving. Providing a truly beautiful street-side appearance, the handsome front door with its decorative transom beckons you inside.

Once, standing inside the splendid entrance hall, the eye is caught immediately by the memorable broken pediment archway and two crystal chandeliers. Its tall ceilings and large windows are reflective of the time the home was built. Looking ahead is the beginning of a graceful staircase which leads to the upper two floors. On the left is the formal drawing room which is adorned with two elegant fireplaces, warm honey colored random width flooring and two matching crystal chandeliers. The expanse of this room, its moldings and natural light are breathtaking. From the entrance hall and drawing room enter a central hall where the powder room and cloak closet are found.

Beyond the central hall is the formal dining room which is graced by six windows, a fireplace and built-in china cupboard. Adjacent, is the comfortable kitchen with its own dining area. On the second floor are found two bedroom suites, one of which has its own dressing room. Both have fireplaces. The top floor of the home offers two more rooms and a full bath. The surprising lower level houses a cozy family room with built in bookcases and another fireplace. Additionally, there is another bedroom, a full and half bath plus the laundry room. Outside, the garden and courtyard, along with access from the residence are reached by the alley as well as a walkway from the street. The garden itself is well-landscaped, has its own fountain and arched covered dining area. A brick wall surrounds the garden for privacy and a newly installed underground sprinkler system provides irrigation. Beyond the garden is parking.

Conveniently located in the heart of Old Town, this beautiful home is just steps from fantastic restaurants, charming shops and gorgeous parks and marinas. Reagan National Airport, the GW Parkway, the Capital Beltway and Washington D.C. are also just minutes away. This home provides an excellent Old Town location for those who want a short commute to work, with evening and weekend entertainment right outside their front door. Enjoy an exciting Old town lifestyle while assuming the guardianship of one of the city’s finest historic homes.
