About this home
Significant price improvement on an exceptional property! Located on a quiet street with direct access to nearly 21 acres of wooded Forest Park, this extraordinary custom residence offers more than 7,400 square feet of beautifully designed living space on a nearly half-acre lot in Alexandria City. Expanded and reimagined in 2011 with an emphasis on quality, scale and timeless design, the home combines gracious entertaining spaces, functionality and outstanding craftsmanship. A circular driveway, stately columned entrance, two-car garage and manicured grounds create an impressive arrival, while reclaimed hardwood floors, extensive custom millwork, bountiful windows, French doors and thoughtfully curated finishes establish an atmosphere of understated luxury throughout. The large foyer is flanked by elegant formal living and dining rooms, creating refined spaces for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining. A standout feature of the home is the extraordinary chef’s kitchen, thoughtfully designed for everyday living and effortless hosting. Custom wood cabinetry, expansive granite countertops, multiple sinks, dual dishwashers, wall ovens, oversized center islands, notable storage, an extra-large pantry and generous preparation areas provide utility and beauty, while island seating and a spacious dining area comfortably accommodate large gatherings. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the spectacular family room, where soaring vaulted ceilings, custom built-ins, a dramatic stone fireplace and a wall of French doors overlooking the backyard create an inviting setting for gathering and entertaining. The main level also includes a private office, powder room, mudroom with custom built-ins and slate flooring, spacious laundry room, secondary entry and a sun-filled windowed breezeway that elegantly connects the home’s two wings. The upper level offers a layout rarely found in Alexandria, featuring dual staircases and distinct bedroom wings that provide privacy and flexibility. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spacious bedroom, oversized walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, walk-in shower and private water closet. Five additional bedrooms and a large open loft recreation space offer flexibility for family, guests, offices, study areas, fitness or hobbies. The lower level expands the home’s versatility with a dedicated theater room, expansive recreation room with wet bar, additional bedroom and full bath, flex space, substantial storage and a walk-in cedar closet. With seven bedrooms, five full baths, one half bath, two wood-burning fireplaces and more than 7,400 square feet of finished living space, this residence offers a level of scale seldom available in Alexandria City. Outside, the nearly half-acre level lot provides exceptional privacy and generous space for recreation, entertaining and gardening. Expansive stone patios create the perfect setting for outdoor dining and summer gatherings, while a new 8' x 12' storage building provides attractive and functional space for gardening equipment, landscaping tools, recreational gear and seasonal storage. All of these impressive features are complemented by an unbeatable location convenient to shopping, dining, parks and everyday amenities.
