This Yates Gardens classic has been beautifully expanded in keeping with the way people live today. What was once a galley kitchen now boasts cherry cabinets, granite counters, stunning built-ins, a wine and additional beverage fridge, stainless appliances and a large island open to a spacious, sun drenched family room that extends back from and to the side of the home’s original footprint. A half-bath is tucked discreetly into a corner. At the rear, sliders lead to a charming patio – large enough for overflow during spring gatherings, and just the right amount of planting beds to get a nice dose of gardening without it being too much. The windows at the side, with a sunny, southern exposure, bring in the abundant light you covet! At the front of the main floor is a traditional complement to the modern back of the house: sizeable open dining and living space, with classic touches such as crown molding, chair rail, dental molding on the mantle, and plantation shutters. Looking for warmth in the winter? You’ll be torn between a cozy wood fire in the living room, and the ease of gas flames with a flick of the switch in the family room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a retro-styled bath. The roof deck entices you from the rear bedroom, and is also accessible to the patio by external spiral staircase. The primary bedroom features an expanded wall of closets with Elfa organizers for efficient storage. And the hardwoods from the main level continue throughout the bedroom level. Topping it off – or more accurately, underpinning those fabulous spaces - you’ll find the lower level with a rec room with built-in wine rack and luxury vinyl plank flooring, storage room or workshop, and laundry rooms. Soothe your aching bones or let the chills of a winter walk seemingly melt in decadent steam shower mode of the glass-enclosed shower featured in the stylish second full bath. Situated on a dead-end block at the south end of Old Town, there is no through traffic on the street, and a private parking space makes life easy. As to convenience: walkable to King street shops and restaurants, Balduccis or Safeway, Jones Point and Windmill Hill park (dog park, anyone?), the Mount Vernon Trail, and King St Metro (1.5 miles); and a quick drive to I95, GW Parkway to National airport, Rt 1 to Amazon HQ2 and Crystal City…. And more! Check out the virtual walk-through: https://youtu.be/dPNSjvumJmE

Seller WILL consider BACKUP OFFERS! At 2,325 total square feet spread across three levels, this beautiful Yates Gardens home offers real breathing room — a more lifestyle-friendly layout than the typical vertical townhouse layout you'll find in the area. *** The main floor gives you two distinct living spaces to work with. At the front of the house, the spacious, bright, living room provides a warm and inviting entrance with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by large windows, plus an additional window facing the street. At the back, an airy family room addition centers on a gas fireplace framed by built-ins with space for both media and storage and a large window seat. A bay window and two skylights keep the room filled with light throughout the day. *** The dining room, lit by a double window, sits ready for both everyday meals and entertaining. The kitchen has a nook for casual table seating, Corian counters, extensive storage, a pass-through that opens straight into the family room and a large kitchen window facing a prolific fig tree. A cleverly designed powder room rounds out the level. *** Three full-sized bedrooms share the upper floor with a full bath that boasts retro artistic tilework and a total of 7 closets. Original hardwood floors run through both the main and upper levels (both of which have been freshly painted) with heated tile underfoot in the kitchen and family room. *** The entire lower level was recently painted and updated including new vinyl plank flooring. There is a separate, tiled laundry room and full, up-to-date, bath. To round out the lower level there is a utility room, and four triple-sized storage closets — coveted storage for seasonal or rarely used items. *** The house sits on a cul-de-sac with a private resident parking space in front. The lot is generous by city standards and has been nurtured by owners who built on the original flowers and plantings that make every season beautiful. Out front, tulips, azaleas, crepe myrtle, and a mix of other perennials keep something in bloom for much of the year. The path back to the yard is lined with irises, boxwoods, more tulips, daffodils, roses, and a young magnolia. *** The backyard centers on a wisteria-covered pergola with a hanging swing, plus a shed for outdoor gear. Holly, oakleaf hydrangea, dogwood, and lilac form a natural privacy screen on three sides and draw a steady population of cardinals, robins, owls and other backyard birds. Honeysuckle scents the walk up the back steps. Trash and recycling day is simple with a gate at the rear of the yard that opens directly onto an alley with no access at the far end so no traffic cutting through. There is a concrete pad that abuts the back fence that could store a motorcycle, grill or wood for the fireplace. *** Come by to see for yourself what 2,325 square feet of Old Town brick exterior, warm charm and hidden garden magic feel like. Check out this friendly block with a real neighborhood feel!

Yates Gardens homes in SE Old Town are known for their charm and this 3BR/3BA home does not disappoint. Up the front flagstone steps and path (with a small, adjacent patio for seating), the brick exterior has a whitewashed look and a brick front stoop shared with the house next door. Enter through a gracious living room with gas fireplace, open to the dining room with two large storage closets/pantries beyond. The kitchen is off the dining room and was fully renovated in 2022 with cabinets in a cerulean blue hue, and striking, floor-to-ceiling tile that gives the feel of an Italian villa. **** When the owners put on an addition at the back of the house in 2021/2022, they designed it to serve as a family room that could easily transition to a bedroom, should they eventually wish to live on one level – a feature difficult to find in an Old Town row home. A stylish full bath with stall shower (glass door) is situated off the bright room. Naturally, the layout offers alternate lifestyle options. If you want a guest room, but don’t want to dedicate space for that purpose, set it up as a Family Room with sleeper sofa or murphy bed to convert it to an ensuite guest bedroom when friends visit. Or if you simply want to enjoy the afternoon sun in a family room or office, with the convenience of a full bath for easy use after coming in from the great outdoors, this space is for you. You can exit the family/guest room to the charming, fenced brick patio and onward through the gate to the to the public alley behind the house – convenient, for example, so you don’t have to carry a bike or other gear through the house. **** On the lower level is a rec room with abundant closet space, a utility/laundry room with still more storage, and a stylish full bath fully updated in 2023. **** The generous primary bedroom on the upper level has a wood burning fireplace. Another spacious bedroom shares the hall bath that was refreshed in 2024 with in-wall medicine cabinets. Windows of the original house were replaced in 2023; and the slate (front)/shingle (top rear) roof replaced in 2022. Windows and roof of the family room/guest bedroom date from the addition in 2022. There is one private parking spot in the service road in front of the house. (Lot extends into the service road; City of Alexandria attorney letter available to explain parking situation on the block) **** The 900 block of S. Saint Asaph St is a dead-end block: a destination not a thoroughfare, with a refreshingly friendly neighborhood vibe. Easy access to the bike path toward Mount Vernon or Jones Point Park, and about 2/3 mile stroll to King Street. There’s a bus stop close by to get you to the metro, and easy access to 495 or the GW parkway to head out of town or into DC. Please ask to see the full list of updates and improvements. Check back for photos on May 1st!!

You’ve heard of Old Town Alexandria’s Walled Gardens. This is your chance to have one that is truly brag-worthy! The sellers have spent years planning, modifying and cultivating their outdoor space – both front and back. With a focus on plants native to the region, they individually selected each flower, shrub and groundcover with meticulous care for how the color and fragrance would complement other plantings. The result is beautiful, four-season interest. The garden has been maintained with ecologically-friendly products, compost and even earthworms, yielding a natural ecosystem attractive to (and healthy for) butterflies, hummingbirds and songbirds. The latticework brick walls and custom wooden gate incorporating an antique cast iron vent grate bring classic old-world charm to the inviting space. Set up seating on the brick patio to enjoy the environs! The front is deep and the steps are framed with more greenery, color and fragrant blossoms as you walk to the front door and covered portico. Check out the front and back walled garden planting “maps” with companion photos from the garden to see the beauty you’re in store for! **** Please don’t think that this description starts with the garden to distract from the interior of the house: it absolutely will not disappoint! Through the custom mahogany front door, the main level has a modern, open plan. The front living room features built-in cabinets/shelving and a wood-burning fireplace. A graceful arch separates the living and dining rooms with crown molding and a gallery artwork-hanging system in both. The dining room, with a Lindsey Adelman-designed light fixture, is open to a chef’s delight of a kitchen. Starting with a Viking professional-grade cooktop and Best By Broan vent hood above, the stainless steel appliances complement the two-tone custom cabinets with recessed doors, French floor tile and other high end finishings. For extra kitchen storage, there’s a pantry at the top of the stairs to the lower level, illuminated by an Artemide light fixture. At the back of the house is a sunroom addition with heated flooring and a ceiling fan for 4-season comfort, and a door with steps to the garden. **** Upstairs are two generous bedrooms. With Mahogany French doors between, the entire level can be used as a single primary suite. Alternatively, the doors close and lock to separate the bedrooms, or the doors could be reverted to a wall for two, totally unconnected rooms. The back bedroom has a door that can be opened for extra air flow and provides roof access. (You might consider adding decking and a railing for a future roof-deck/balcony!) The tastefully updated upper level bathroom provides good cabinet space and – with under-floor heating - will warm your feet on the coldest of winter nights. **** The lower level is currently set up as an office with custom built-in cabinetry and a mix of Flor Carpet tiles for warmth and Vinyl tiles for practicality. With direct access to a back door, the space is fully functional as a bedroom suite, with a nicely refreshed bathroom that gets a peak of light from the outside. Alternatively – at your option - use the space as an office or rec room! The laundry/utility room and area under the stairs offer plenty of storage space on this level.**** The home is notable for the careful selection of each finishing for functionality, style and quality. The moldings, bath and kitchen fixtures, lighting and more are sure to impress. As for major systems, the HVAC was replaced in 2008 and a Bosch tankless water heater installed in 2021. The home has 200 Amp electrical service with a whole-house surge protector. These and more are detailed in a list of considerable updates (please ask to see it)! **** Parking is easy in your own space directly in front of the house. And alley access in the back allows trash bins outside your walled garden . Check out this wonderful home in person!
