"Sophisticated living" defines this gorgeous five level, three bed, three bath townhome in the vibrant neighborhood of North Old Town, minutes from Alexandria's waterfront. 318 offers top-of-the-line features and exquisite finishes, with luxurious contemporary design throughout. The living room instantly embraces you with a cozy atmosphere, simultaneously drawing the eye upward to the soaring ceilings and stunning glass chandelier above the foyer. Well-maintained hardwood floors are featured from the main level up, and custom plantation shutters convey throughout the home. A double-sided gas fireplace creates a simple divide between where the living room ends and the dining room and kitchen area begin, enhancing the ambiance across the main level. Step up to the gourmet chef's kitchen - the warm lighting provided by recessed and under cabinet bulbs wrap you in the image of home-cooked meals, while the finishes and equipment give the room a professional and sleek appearance. Grey Carrera marble countertops contrast with the upgraded stainless steel appliances, including a Wolf stove. The center island provides casual dining at the breakfast bar and abundant storage, with additional space in the pantry closet. The back door opens to the enclosed stone patio, leading into the condo courtyard with access to the parking garage via elevator. The first upper level is dedicated entirely to the primary suite - made for relaxing after a long day. The bedroom itself is spacious, large enough to hold a King bed with room to spare. There is a balcony off the room facing the courtyard, perfect for an hour of reading on a light summer evening. A hall of closets containing built-in shelving guides you to the ensuite bath. The epitome of self-care, this bathroom is equipped for luxurious bubble baths in the soaking tub and relaxing showers in the separate glass enclosure; and for busy mornings when you're both preparing for the day, the granite dual vanity is at your service. The second upper level houses the two remaining bedrooms, a shared bath with a wide walk-in shower in the hall between them, and the laundry. Each room offers ample closet space for its occupant and impressive views. The top level - the loft - is this property's best kept secret! Not only is there a bonus room with excellent closet storage to establish a family room or secluded at-home office, there are two outdoor spaces as well. The back balcony faces the courtyard, while the open terrace presents city views and glimpses of the Potomac River and Washington D.C. Arrange a coffee bar inside and take your morning cup to watch the sunrise, or serve drinks to friends as you enjoy happy hour at the most comfortable rooftop bar in town! The lower level offers a finished basement space with storage and a full bath. Walk out to the underground parking garage - your two conveying spots are just steps away and six additional guest spots are available. For those who prefer to bike, there is secure bike storage. 318 is exceptionally close to the Alexandria Waterfront, lined with parks and bike paths for leisurely weekend exercise. Reagan National Airport is less than 10 minutes down the scenic GW Parkway; I-395 is the next exit, taking you into the city for sightseeing or business. You're just blocks from fabulous Old Town restaurants and bars, including Cafe 44 and the Oak Steakhouse Alexandria. Harris Teeter and Trader Joe's on N St. Asaph St are nine and twelve minute walks, respectively, for quick grocery runs. Less than 20 minutes walk to catch the Blue or Yellow Lines at Braddock Metro. Printers Row is a small complex, just twenty units total, keeping the community of respectful professionals peaceful. The condo fee is comprehensive, covering water, sewer, garage elevator, the bike room, trash and snow removal, building insurance, and all external building maintenance, including landscaping.
