Welcome to desirable Carlyle Square. From the moment you enter, you know you've found something special-truly one of the most beautiful condominiums I've listed in a long time. Southern exposure pours through oversized windows, gleaming off rich hardwood floors, while soaring 11-foot ceilings create a bright, open, and stunning living space. The upgraded gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Only the top-floor penthouse level offers both a private balcony and 11-foot ceilings, making this home especially rare and desirable. High-end bathrooms, custom walk-in closets, and designer touches throughout make this magazine-ready condo a home to be proud of. An assigned garage parking space and secure storage room convey. The beautiful building surrounds a wonderful interior courtyard for owners' private use, with tables, umbrellas, mature plantings, and a fountain creating a tranquil outdoor retreat. You can't beat the premium location-walk to Metro and Amtrak, with Whole Foods, Starbucks, Gin Ramen, shops, and restaurants just a block or so away. No car needed. Enjoy the best of Old Town Alexandria just minutes away.
