About this home
There’s something undeniably special about a home that knows exactly what it is—and does it beautifully. This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence is a showcase of thoughtful design and undeniable character. From the moment you arrive, a flagstone walkway leads you through a beautifully landscaped, fully fenced front yard—highlighted by a blooming tree, manicured beds, and a quiet seating area—creating an inviting, storybook setting that immediately feels like home.
Inside, natural light pours in through an abundance of windows and each space has been carefully curated for both style and function. The kitchen is a true standout—recently refreshed with all newer appliances (2023–2025), featuring custom live-edge floating shelves that bring warmth and texture, paired with striking black wall cabinetry that creates a bold, modern contrast. A sit-up bar creates the perfect spot for casual dining or morning coffee, while a built-in bench offers additional seating and smart storage, maximizing comfort without compromising design. The expanded dining area adds both function and style, complete with custom cabinetry that enhances storage and flow.
Upstairs are the two bedrooms and hallway bath; the owner’s suite continues the theme of thoughtful living, featuring a custom Elfa closet system that elevates organization with clean lines and highly functional storage.
Downstairs, a walk-out basement expands your options—ideal for storage, a creative workspace, or a cozy bonus room tailored to your lifestyle. The laundry and additional full bathroom are also located on this level.
Step outside, and the property truly opens up. Set on a generous sized lot, the backyard is thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, offering multiple levels of outdoor living that feel inviting and private. An elevated deck overlooks the yard, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee or casual dining, while the patio below is ideal for gathering with friends around comfortable seating under the shade of a large umbrella. It’s an outdoor space that feels curated yet effortless—designed to be enjoyed every day, whether hosting, unwinding, or simply taking in the quiet surroundings.
Major system updates provide peace of mind, including a newer air conditioner, furnace, and hot water heater (2022), as well as a washer and dryer replacement (2023). The bathroom has also been refreshed (2022).
Perfectly positioned on the edge of Old Town, this location delivers the best of both worlds—effortless access to the energy of Alexandria, National Harbor, and Washington, DC, while remaining tucked within a quiet, established community. Just moments to King Street’s vibrant shops, restaurants, and nightlife, approximately one mile to the Metro, and with quick access to I-495 in just a couple of lights, the convenience here is exceptional without ever sacrificing a sense of retreat....
