Spacious and enviably located in the heart of Old Town, within walking distance to the Potomac River waterfront and fine restaurants and shops, this large (2860 square feet) , updated townhouse (with 2 assigned parking spaces) reveals a remarkable level of craftmanship. The generously proportioned spaces are accented with high ceilings, exquisite dentil molding and gleaming hardwood floors. Much has been done to this lovely townhouse in the last few years. Built in 1989 on the site of the old Alexandria Jailhouse the front of the home has incorporated the early facade in its structure. The main entry features a lovely foyer with access to the kitchen, a guest bathroom and the dining room and living room.

The living room (21X13) boasts a wood burning fireplace with built-in shelving, an 11 foot 5 inch high ceiling, and French Doors. The lovely glass doors lead to the flagstone patio which in turn opens to the assigned two parking spaces providing easy transport of packages, groceries, etc. to the house. The large dining room (14X13), with a ceiling height of over 9 feet, and overlooking the living room is a perfect spot for entertaining and is well suited for large dinner parties.

The all new chef's kitchen includes top of the line stainless steel Viking appliances, Brookhaven cabinetry and Cambia quartz countertops.
