About this home
RUN, don’t walk to 142 N French Street—a thoughtfully expanded 3,152 sqft custom home in a quiet Alexandria neighborhood just 2 miles to Old Town, 2 miles to I-395/DC, 4 miles to the Pentagon, City Center Mall, and Reagan Airport, and within a mile of Wegmans, Harris Teeter, Giant, and ALDI. This home seamlessly blends comfort, function, and charm with a rare main-level layout featuring two ensuite bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with jetted tub/shower, dual vanities, and a massive walk-in closet—ideal for single-level living. A third ensuite bedroom is privately tucked away on the fully finished walk-out lower level, perfect for multigenerational living, a private guest suite, college-aged family members, or a quiet home office setup. The lower level lives like its own apartment, featuring a home theater with a massive 120" screen, six luxurious leather recliners, and immersive Bose surround sound, a custom bar, full bath, flex space, and a dedicated workshop with 292 sqft of unfinished utility space. On the main level, the kitchen shines with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, 42" maple cabinets, abundant counter space, and an eat-in nook, opening effortlessly into a bright family room. A formal dining room and an oversized living room with a cozy fireplace round out the living space with warmth and elegance. The home features hardwood floors, recessed and overhead lighting throughout, plus a finished attic for extra storage. Step outside to a full-length Trex front porch, flagstone walkway, and a huge Trex rear deck overlooking a beautifully landscaped yard with mature fig trees, a fire pit area, tiled garden structure, and a wired concrete-floor shed, ideal for tools or a creative studio. A brand-new roof (2025) and a professionally installed generator hookup ensure comfort and peace of mind during power outages. The home offers driveway parking and convenient access to three nearby Metro stations: Huntington, King Street, and Eisenhower Avenue, as well as DASH bus service, Amazon HQ2, National Harbor, and the Landmark Mall redevelopment and new hospital underway just minutes away.
