The best of Old Town Alexandria! All the amenities of contemporary, modern construction with high ceilings, large open floorplan and excellent storage with huge closets, yet nestled in the very heart of all the historic sites and bustling, walkable city life. The distinguished glossy black front doors give way to the classic entry hall which opens into the grand dining room with soaring ceilings...the epicenter of entertaining guests or dinner with family. This flows into the open and sun filled living room, warmed at the center by a beautiful fireplace. Character and privacy are added by the 3" slat, custom cedar plantation shutters the seller had installed on all three levels. Step out into your private, fenced brick patio where your abundant flower gardens thrive. Just steps away, are your two, reserved, off street surface parking spaces (Marked #3). Awaken to the morning sunrise as you take in breakfast and read the paper. Create culinary masterpieces in the beautiful, updated chef's kitchen, which features top of the line finishes, a Bosch appliance suite with induction cooktop and a reverse-osmosis water filter. A powder room is situated on the main level. Coming to the top of the grand staircase, the expansive main bedroom and luxurious ensuite bath consume the entire second level of your new home! Curl up with a book next to a cozy fire at the foot of your bed on a cool winter evening. Two very sizable and very well appointed walk-in closets are provided, with access to additional storage. The spa bath retreat features dual vanities, large soaking tub and a separate shower with frameless glass enclosure. On the upper level are two very nice sized bedrooms, each with their own private baths. Great natural sunlight pours in through the windows. Alternatively, you could use the third bedroom as an office or fitness studio. The high efficiency, front loading washer and dryer are located on this level for your convenience. Additional storage and access to the roof is provided in the utility room in this upper level. You can feel confident in your home as new HVAC equipment for the three-zone climate control system (rooftop + inside units) were installed in 2020. The HVAC system has ultraviolet sanitation lights in each of the two air handlers with new bulbs (anti-virus, mold + bacteria), as well as a high-end humidifier. New roof in 2019 includes large skylight pouring sunlight into the stairwell from above. Covered bike storage is provided in the parking garage below. Your new home is steps to King & Washington Streets, which are the center of all that Old Town has to offer, with excellent shopping and dining. Go for an evening walk, window shopping along the magical brick sidewalks where sparkly holiday lights illuminate the trees overhead. Saturday mornings, walk a few blocks down to the farmers market at City Hall and enjoy fresh, locally grown produce. Continue a few more blocks down to the Old Town waterfront, which has recently experienced a renaissance as the entire length of the waterfront has been opened up to pedestrian traffic with scenic waterfront parks. King Street down by the waterfront has been closed to vehicle traffic as the city has allowed the restaurants to flow into the street for safe outdoor dining experiences. You're just minutes to the King Street Metro and just a few lights to downtown DC, passing National Airport on the way. Go for a Saturday morning bike ride or jog down the George Washington Memorial Parkway to historic Mount Vernon and stay for their wine festival. Take the water taxi across the Potomac to visit the fun waterfront at National Harbor. You'll be hard pressed to find a better, nicer home in a more perfect location! Make this your home for the holidays and New Year!
