Tucked away on one of Alexandria’s most sought-after streets, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3-bath classic brick Colonial offers rare privacy on a quiet lane with only three homes. Set on over half an acre, the property combines timeless charm with thoughtful spaces designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday living. A spacious front yard and gravel driveway accommodate up to five cars, while a brick walkway leads to the welcoming front entry. Inside, the foyer offers a stunning sightline straight through to the backyard, setting the tone for the home’s open and inviting feel. Just off the foyer, a cozy den with built-ins and a wood-burning fireplace provide the perfect space for a home office or library. The expansive living room features a wall of windows overlooking the private backyard, along with built-ins and a second wood-burning fireplace. It seamlessly connects to both the formal dining room and a spectacular family room with vaulted ceilings, three walls of windows, and French doors opening to a covered flagstone porch. The chef’s kitchen is beautifully appointed with white cabinetry, honed black granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a large island with a secondary sink. A convenient laundry/utility room off the kitchen offers additional storage and functions perfectly as a mudroom with access to the side yard. The main level also includes a bedroom and full bath—ideal for guests or flexible living arrangements. Upstairs, a gracious winding staircase leads to the spacious primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bath with double vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Two additional generously sized bedrooms share an updated hall bath. The partially finished lower level provides additional living space and direct access to the backyard. Outdoors, the property truly shines. Mature trees and lush landscaping create a serene setting, while multiple outdoor living areas make it an entertainer’s dream. Enjoy gatherings on the expansive brick patio, shaded by a stunning 12-foot magnolia tree, or relax on the covered porch just off the family room. A rare opportunity to own a private retreat in an unbeatable Alexandria location.
