NEW LISTING! Open Tuesday, August 6, 11:30-1:30 with lunch provided by First Savings Mortgage. Welcome to this enchanting 2700+ sf, end-unit, Pommander Row townhouse located just one block to the Potomac River! This stately, and rarely available 4BR/3.5BA brick home overlooks spectacular Windmill Hill Park in the sought-after southeast quadrant of historic Old Town Alexandria. Sunlight streams through the many divided light windows from three exposures, drenching the home in sparkling natural light and showcasing Potomac River views from the 2nd and 3rd floors. The park-side setting of this home is truly special: open spaces, big sky, shade trees, spectacular river views and picnics you've always dreamed of! Short walk to King Street restaurants and shops, yet set in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by American history, and some of the most expensive homes in Old Town. Halloween in this neighborhood is legendary! The private garden entrance features a charming brick walkway and is set back from the street, sheltered by mature plantings and lush trees. Once inside, there is a foyer entrance with rich hardwood floors and a convenient entry nook for shoes, jackets and keys. Custom millwork by the locally-renowned Rust Construction Company includes built-in cabinetry and detailed chair rail and crown molding. The solid wood banister and newel post were reclaimed from Burke & Herbert, Virginia's oldest bank.
This home boasts an ideal floorplan with a recently updated powder room on the main level, a large family room with dining area, a romantic wood-burning fireplace, tall ceilings, recessed lighting, and beautiful built-in cabinetry. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a desk area and tons of storage! On the second floor, there are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The 3rd bedroom is on the top floor, and features a dedicated HVAC wall unit, vaulted ceilings, new carpet, plenty of storage and beautiful river views. The top floor would also make a spectacular home office.
The 4th bedroom is on the lower level along with the 3rd full bathroom, family room with second wood-burning fireplace, laundry room with stacked, front-loading washer and dryer, and walk-out to a delightful private stone terrace. The terrace features thoughtful hardscaping, landscaping, and raised bed planters, and offers easy gated access to Gibbon Street, which is perfect for dog walking and bicycles, a bonus because this home is less than a block from one of Old Town's largest, free-run dog parks, as well as the wonderful bike path that runs through Old Town, from the National Mall in Washington, DC all the way to Mount Vernon. An unbeatable location, a smart floorplan that lives large, and an address to be proud of. You will love living here!
