This beautiful townhome in the SE quadrant of Old Town Alexandria has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully expanded. Gorgeous and move-in ready, it showcases historic charm and designer details throughout - the perfect blend of original features and modern livability. The circa 1797 living room features the original floors, wood-burning fireplace, and mantel. The chic custom-cut sisal rug (conveys), European art hanging system, and Kable Lite lighting make this an elevated and updated space. The later addition of the dining room, circa 1820-1830, also maintains original floors, a fireplace, a built-in cabinet, and a coat closet. Beyond the dining room is an addition, completed in 2020, which is the heart of the home. The chefs kitchen offers custom inset cabinetry, a Wolfe range, a Bosch dishwasher, and soapstone countertops. The elegant wet bar and butlers pantry include a beverage refrigerator, open shelving, and glass front cabinetry; the threshold was hand-crafted from reclaimed wood original to the home. Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious family room with a gas fireplace, pine tongue and groove ceiling detail, and access to the backyard. A hyphen hall between the kitchen and dining room is the home to a convenient half bath with exposed original brick, a broom closet, and a built-in bookcase ideal for cookbooks. The upper level offers 3 bedrooms plus a cozy library with an additional original fireplace and built-in bookcases. The private primary suite has ample closet storage, a spa-like en suite bath with marble counters and a soaking tub, and access to a private terrace with a Sunsetter remote retractable awning. The second and third bedrooms are located in the original part of the home, one featuring the 4th original wood-burning fireplace. A second renovated full bath and an Instagram-worthy laundry room are located on the bedroom level. Enjoy the comfort of radiant heated floors throughout the first and second levels of the addition and the quality of the new Green Mountain Windows, manufactured in Vermont. The private backyard oasis has a lovely covered porch, attractive hardscaping, lush plantings, and a gate to the back alley for easy access. Located just steps from the Mt. Vernon Trail, the Potomac River, shops and restaurants on King Street, and easy access to National Airport, Metro, and major commuter routes this is a one-of-a-kind home not to be missed!
