About this home
Welcome to 715 W. View Terrace, an exceptional 3-bedroom, 3-bath brick Cape Cod on a rare corner property in the sought-after George Washington Park neighborhood—just moments from Old Town. Expanded, thoughtfully updated, and offering flexible living across three levels, including a partially finished basement, this home blends historic charm with modern comfort in a truly special setting.
From the moment you arrive, timeless details set the tone: graceful archways, crown molding, wainscoting, custom millwork and built-ins, refinished hardwood floors, and a welcoming fireplace create warm, inviting interiors designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Large windows and skylights flood the home with natural light, and nearly every inch has been thoughtfully refreshed.
The main level features an updated galley kitchen with granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, newer appliances, and a large pantry. Open to the kitchen, the light-filled family room with bay window and skylights offers easy access to the attached one-car garage and the rear patio and expansive backyard, complete with a cleverly designed mudroom nook. Also on this level is a formal living room with fireplace, a formal dining room with custom built-in cabinet, an updated full bath, and a sun porch that can flex as a bedroom, home office, playroom, or creative space.
The upper level includes a spacious primary bedroom with walk-in closet, a second bedroom with generous closet space, a hall closet, and a beautifully updated full bath. Refinished hardwoods, upgraded lighting, and classic detailing continue throughout.
The lower level provides additional flexible living options, ideal as a secondary family room, guest suite, or au pair/in-law space, complete with a full bath, laundry area with new flooring, exterior access to the side yard, abundant storage, and two encapsulated crawl spaces.
Outside, this property truly shines. Thoughtfully designed walkways, patios, and a gazebo are seamlessly integrated into lush, mature landscaping, creating a private and serene setting for relaxation or gatherings with friends. The gardens feature an exceptional collection of perennial flowers and other plantings including a thriving pollinator garden—offering beauty and interest throughout the seasons.
Countless upgrades add peace of mind and efficiency, including a newer roof (2016) with solar panels providing approximately a 25% reduction in electric costs, an EV charger (2024), newer windows and skylights, upgraded lighting, fresh paint throughout the interior and exterior (2025), energy-efficient air sealing and insulation, basement encapsulation (2020), a professionally graded yard and a basement sump pump with French drains (2020), making this home truly move-in ready. Parking is abundant with a garage and driveway accommodating up to three cars, a rare find this close to Old Town.
The location is equally exceptional: walkable to King Street Metro, VRE, Amtrak, Old Town, Douglas MacArthur Elementary School, neighborhood parks, and local favorites for dining, fitness, and shopping. This home shines in community spirit, too! Catch up with neighbors along the tree-lined streets. Commuters will appreciate easy access to Washington DC, The George Washington Parkway, and major highways.
This is a home that offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to love. Historic charm, exceptional outdoor space, abundant off-street parking, walkability, and modern convenience all come together in one remarkable Alexandria offering. Welcome home!
