Property Description

Set among the storied streets of Old Town Alexandria, this exceptional detached residence sits where 1970s architecture meets the Federal-era character of one of the region's most walkable and beloved neighborhoods. What makes this home truly rare is not its location alone — it is the depth and integrity of a renovation carried out floor by floor, system by system, by owners who loved this house and built it to last. Spanning four finished levels with a private garden, second-floor balcony, and coveted off-street parking with EV charging, this is not a cosmetic refresh. It is a considered reinvention — and the results speak with quiet confidence at every turn. The renovation begins with peace of mind. Party-wall waterproofing and new flashing have been completed, joined by a high-efficiency heat pump, a battery backup system, and a secondary sump pump that drains to an exterior swale. An updated bathroom with a bidet, refreshed tile, a new washer and dryer, two custom closets, and a newly added high window make this level genuinely livable and bright. An entirely new kitchen anchors the home's social life with generous workspace, crisp white cabinetry, and a layout designed for both the pleasure of cooking and the practicalities of daily life. A newly added half bath and coat closet, new lighting, and refinished original hardwood floors — their grain enriched, not erased — lend warmth and coherence throughout. Every room has received a considered decorative refresh, creating interiors that feel quietly curated rather than hurriedly completed. The main bedroom has been expanded and enhanced with a brand-new en-suite bathroom, custom closet, and its own balcony, details that speak to the home's commitment to practical elegance. The double-sided brick fireplace, which ran from the chimney to the basement, was thoughtfully removed in its entirety, reclaiming valuable storage and bathroom space on every level. This kind of intelligent, un-glamorous decision-making is precisely what separates a truly considered renovation from a merely attractive one. The flat roof has been re-roofed with new EPDM and fitted with emergency roof access — and the rooftops of Old Town stretch before you in a view that simply cannot be replicated at street level. A dormer addition and new window flood this level with natural light, transforming what might once have been secondary space into something genuinely special. Fresh hardwood floors run throughout, a new bathroom has been installed, and a dedicated heat pump — its interior unit discreetly concealed beneath a custom-built-in desk — ensures year-round comfort entirely independent of the floors below. A new exterior slate patio — one of the finest finishes available for an Old Town garden — has been laid with care, along with three bespoke matching wood planters. This is a genuine outdoor room: private, sheltered, and conceived for long evenings in good company. At the front, new brick edging, matching planters, and a neighborhood-favorite Little Free Library give the facade a cohesive, considered character. New roof. New Lighting. New Custom Closets. New Custom window treatments. At the owners' request, the City of Alexandria replaced the dead street tree and poured a fresh concrete sidewalk on Oronoco Street — ensuring the immediate environment is as polished as the home itself. Every system is renewed. Every room reconsidered. Every outdoor inch is made to count. The hard work is done. What remains is simply the pleasure of arriving home.
